Benefits new launches....be still my beating heart

Hey guys,
Now I have been a huge fan of Benefit cosmetics since around 1996 when a friend brought me home High beam from a trip to the US. I fell in love with the brand on the bases of this product and I fell hard. I was a regular visitor to the counter in Brown Thomas to feed my obsession.To this day I have never been disappointed with a benefit product.
So you imagine my excitement to see these new launches,I mean OMG how gorge are these fab new pro.
First up is the New They're Real! Double The Lip Liner & Lipstick. This sexy piece of kit comes in 8 STUNNING shades and is available now on counter at only €22 each. They are all gorge and very wearable but if I had to choose a top 3 it would be Pink Thrills,Lusty Rose and Fuchsia Fever!!!!!!!

As if that wasn't exciting enough 8 new shadows have also be added to the They're real collection. With a duo shadow blender its easy to get a sexy vampy look. These are also available now for €26 each. These are all divine and I would happily rock any of these shades on my peepers. If you havent tried Benefit eye shadows you are in for a treat,they glide on,dont settle in creases and have very little fall out.

All this gorgeousness is available on counter right now....Check them out,I know I will be.
Until next time,
Love,

Tame your Brows with.....Ready,Set,Brow by Benefit

Hey guys,

So today I'm back with my thoughts on Benefits Ready,Set,Brow. I am a huge Benefit fan,used to get it in the states before it became available over here. Still remember how excited i was when they opened in Brown Thomas in Cork. That being said I have high standards for the brand,so was eager to try the new Brow range.

The "Ready, Set,Brow" is a 24hr shaper and setter. In a word its Fantastic. I have quite bushy eyebrows and even though they are threaded regularly they can get quite unruly. I also have coarse eyebrow hair so if anything tamed them then i would be very impressed.

This is impressive,my brows didn't budge. The gel itself is clear so it can be used on any hair colour. It is very easy to apply and it doesn't dry out and flake off. I have used this product alone on "no make- up" days and i have also worn it over other eyebrow products to set them.

The results were brilliant,my brows were tamed and set but didn't look like they were laden with product.
I would absolutely recommend this gel to anyone.
Have you tried it?? Let me know your thoughts.

Till next time,

Love,

Beat the winter skin !!!!

Dull, grey and miserable, if this describes your skin as well as the winter weather keep reading. If like most of us after the excess of Christmas your skin needs a helping hand try out some of these beauties.

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm,this has been a favourite of mine for about 5 years now. It can used on top of moisturiser on non makeup days to give your skin a dewy glow. It is a peach colour which counteracts the grey hue we all have this time of the year. It can also be used under makeup again to give a glow. If you are really in dire straits in can also be used as a mask. Available from Clairns counters nationwide  for €36.50.

Benefit 'that gal' Brightening Face primer. This is another favourite of mine for this time of year. It can be worn alone or under make up to give a bright dewy finish to the skin.This product is a lot more pink so really gives you a healthy skin tone. I have even popped a little bit over the top of a made up face on particularly bad days lol.It flatters all skin tones from the palest of the pale to the deepest of the deep. Available on counter at Benefit nationwide €32.

Last but not least is the Botanics All Bright radiance Balm,again this can be used as a over your moisturiser to give a healthy glow. It can also be used also also silky makeup primer. I have also so used a little of this over foundation as a highlighter.This is also available from Boots stores at a very affordable   €7.99. This is also included in the 3 for 2 offer so grab it fast .

Of course it goes without saying that you should be drinking plenty of water to combat dry and dull  skin from the inside. This is often easier said than done as lets face it water while good for you is boring. Hopefully these products will help you at least look healthy on the outside. To help the inside drink the bloody water!!!
