BENEFIT-ULTRA PLUSH LIP BALMS

I was very excited when I first saw the Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Balms on the shelf. They were also on sale, so it was a sign that I had to get them! Once I tried them I knew that they would be some of my favourite lip products, as my lips in this season are always very dry, and balms are the best products for my lips. 

Dallas is a antique pink shade, which is one of my absolute favourites. Hoola is a light nude, which is very similar to my actual lip colour, so it acts more as a transparent lip balm. Sugarbomb is a dark pink nude, whereas Dandelion is a light pink nude. Coralista is a vibrant orange, and this is such a beautiful shade. Bella Bamba is a red/pin shade, and this one looks amazing with a smoky eye. They are all extremely hydrating and are great if, like me, you have extremely dry lips. I think they still may be on sale online on the Sephora store, so make sure to go and see.

BENEFIT THEY'RE REAL MASCARA REVIEW

 When I’m looking for a new mascara I normally just go straight to the Essence counter, as I know that their mascaras never fail to impress.

But the other day, as I was looking at the new Benefit products, my eye fell on something I had never seen before. It’s the They’re Real mascara, that works wonders on lashes.

I bought the small container, as I wanted to test it before I bought the more expensive one, and I most definitely will have to go back and get it. I tried it the next morning, and I was amazed by how long it lasted and how dark my lashes were all day.

I will admit that by the end of the day it was very hard to take it off with just makeup wipes, but thankfully they also sell the makeup remover that goes with it! It feels like it grips onto your lashes, curling them upwards beautifully, without the need of a curler.

I was extremely impressed with this product, that you can buy here.  

Benefit is so quickly becoming my favourite brand, and I ‘m so excited to try other products of theirs.

Do you love Benefit?

BRONZERS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

Bronzer is a product that only recently I’ve been starting to appreciate and use correctly. For a long time I thought that it looked like dirt on my face, mainly because I didn’t actually know how to apply it, but now it’s one of my favourite parts of my daily routine. I chose these three mainly because they are the ones I prefer to use on different occasions.  

Hoola by Benefit is my everyday, go-to bronzer. I use it on a daily basis, and I love the brush that comes with it as well, making it really easy to apply.

 Beach Babe Bronzer by Kiko is my ‘natural, no makeup’ look. The colour is quite light, and perfect for a simple and sophisticated makeup look.

True Bronze Pressed Powder Bronzer by Clinique is my ‘smarter’ bronzer. I use it if I have an important event, or something I want to look extra good for, as the colour is pigmented and a beautiful shade.

 All three of the bronzers are amazing, and you should try them out, if you haven’t already.  What’s your favourite bronzer? Love, Sara xx

BENEFIT-THE POREFESSIONAL REVIEW

When I stepped into Sephora this time, I knew exactly what I had came for. I walked over to the Benefit stand, looking for the extremely famous Porefessional. The reason behind this: I had fallen in love with the Sephora smoothing primer (  ) and I wanted to try out some different ones.

Aside from the fact that it is maybe the most talked about product on the internet, it really is a miracle.

 It’s texture and coverage is essential for the perfect result. The no-colour scheme makes it impossible to be confused on which one you should be buying, and it really leaves amazing results.

 I’ve never been one to have huge pores or pimples, but I’ve recently noticed a few breakouts, and The Porefessional helped to cover and minimilize them.

 It also helps make makeup last and doesn’t leave a dewy finish at all.

Yes, it can seem expensive, but it’s really an investment. An investment in your skin and your beauty.

Have you ever tried The Porefessional by Benefit?

You can but it here

BENEFIT-GIMME BROW REVIEW

Brows are obviously an important feature of your face, so having them on pointe is something I strive for. Recently I was introduced to Gimme Brow by Benefit.

It is a mascara for you lashes that keeps them in place even during a busy and hectic day and fills in any gaps you may or may not have.

 I find that, having blonde hair, the light/medium is the perfect colour. In some lights I think that it may just be a little bit too dark, but all in all it’s the lightest colour they have and in most lightings it looks fantastic.

 The brush is really small, making it super easy to apply the product.

Even though Benefit can be more on the expensive side, all their products are most definitely worth it, including Gimme Brow.

If you ever have the chance to pick one up, definitely do, as it is a life saver and I don’t know how I used to live without it.

You can buy it here.

What do you use on your eyebrows?
