My wonderful boyfriend very
unexpectedly bought me a Benefit set as a little pre-christmas treat. It was
the Funsize Flirts pack, which contained a load of their best sellers, and
honestly, I almost cried.
That Gal Primer
Let’s face it, winter sucks
for my skin. I always end up looking gaunt and like I may have died last week.
I used to find it so hard to brighten up my skin, but I have been working out a
way of perking up my complexion and it all starts with a brightening primer.
Benefit’s That Gal is pigmented with a pinky colour, and somehow (science gets
involved here) it brightens and perks up your skin, as well as helping your
makeup stay put, and creating a lovely smooth canvas for you to work with.
The POREfessional Primer
Honestly I’m not too much of a
pore-y person, but I do love the smoothing qualities of this primer. It’s
always great for creating that soft base for makeup to go on to, and it makes
any redness on my skin settle down a bit. I find that I go for this primer on
nights out, because it’s great at preserving the makeup I’ve got on. I’ve got
the full size one of these too, and to be honest it’s not one I usually reach
for, but it’s a good little primer and this funsize version is great for
testing it out.
Stay Don’t Stray
How I love Stay Don’t Stray! It’s
a primer that I like to use specifically around the eye area and it’s pretty
much Benefit’s version of the Urban Decay Primer Potion. It’s a lovely texture;
nice and creamy and sinks in seamlessly. It keeps my eyeshadow on great, and
although I only really reach for it when I’m doing a dramatic smokey eye, I do
love this little funsize version and I’m desperate for the full size version
now!
Instant Comeback Face Serum
I haven’t exactly left the
best until last, here! I’m afraid this is a product I could take or leave (but
probably leave). It’s an anti-aging face serum, and to be honest, I’ve tried it
once, noticed nothing, and shoved it in the back of my drawer. I don’t really
know exactly what it is supposed to do, but for me, it’s pretty useless. I’m
only 19, so hopefully I haven’t got to break out the anti aging products yet!
It would probably be a great little skincare addition to someone with more
mature skin, but for me, I’ve got no need for this offering from Benefit!
