Friends with Benefit

I walked past the Benefit counter in my local Boots the other day and seen as there was no sales girl at the counter I decided to have a browse. I am a shopper who likes to look by myself and if I want help I will ask for it. I don’t like being pounced on as soon as a glance over at the stand.

When I started looking at their range I realised I actually own or have previously owned A LOT of their products!

I have always been a fan of Benefit, even though I haven’t got on with all of their products the ones I have I absolutely LOVE!

Here are the products I currently own from Benefit –

Skin Care -

“Honey…snap out of it!” Scrub – Morning exfoliating facial cleanser

Foamingly Clean Facial Wash

I do use all of these but the ones I use most often are –

Eye Bright – I use this in my waterline every day, it really opens them up and when I am getting ready at 6am it makes me look like I have had 10 hours sleep! This is my third of these!

“Honey…snap out of it!” Scrub – I have used this for four years now, this tube has lasted me over a year. I use it once a week, just a small about for a nice little exfoliate! You can use this as a mask but I don’t feel like I need to. It smells amazingly edible but trust me it’s not!

Dallas face powder – I bought this Powderazzi box from a blog sale and I have pretty much used Dallas every day since. It is a gorgeous powder which is a cross between a bronze and a blush. I use it quite lightly as a blush and it brings a lovely glow to face!

I recently bought Sugarbomb from another blog sale and I think this may over take Dallas but I shall give it a few more weeks to see! I bought Sugarbomb from a blog sale for £14.50 and to be honest I think I will only buy Benefits face powders in blog sales or when they are in a sale as I think they are very over priced for what they are. I could get 2 MAC blushes for not much more than what you pay for the new Benefit boxes and they are smaller than the ones I have in my collection.

These are some products I have used in the past, some of them I liked and others I didn’t!

You Rebel – Too dark so I sold it!

You Rebel Light – Still too dark!

Erase Paste – Creased a lot so I sold this too.

Get Even – I did really like this and I would buy it again in the future.

Boing – Really liked and will be repurchasing after I have used my other concealers.

Bad Gal – Liked but probably wouldn’t repurchase

Bad Gal Blue – Really like but I feel I looked a bit too 80’s!

That Gal – Best primer I have used but I tend not to need it these days.

Some Kinda Gorgeous – Too dark so I sold it.

Lemonaid – This is good for hangover days but I felt it slid a bit throughout the day.

If I have pots of money then I will probably try more things from Benefit but I think for the price I would need to be sure I wanted it before buying.

If anyone has any recommendations of products which are a must have from Benefit please let me know!
