REVIEW: Benefit Happy Beauty Day Products



Good evening,

Well, it's a tad chilly out now isn't it? Don't forget the clocks go back shortly so it'll be dark at 6pm :(

Anyways, my review today is one of the sample kits from Benefit. I bought this in Boots in my city and it retails for £9.50.



Pack contains a 7.5ml POREfessional, 4m Posietint and a 4g Bad Gal Lash mascara.




What I like about the pack is the fact you can sample of the well known Benefit goodies and not have to pay full price for it. Another thing I loved is that you sample it and see if it suits you etc.

My thoughts on the products are mixed. I absolutely love the mascara. Bad Gal Lash is something I will purchase in full size soon. I have too many open mascaras at the moment. It has a lovely big brush that really gives tonnes of volume and lengthens the lashes and gets just enough product on them. It doesn't have a weird smell like some mascaras and my lashes were soft even after two coats. Loved it.

When it came to The POREfessional I was so excited to try it out and see what the fuss was about. I have big pores on my nose, well not big but I see them. I would say this product works but when it wants to. There are days when it works and days where it doesn't. Sometimes my skin just does not want to cooperate with anything on my face so I can't make up my mind with this primer. Grr, booooo hisss!!

And finally the cheek and lip stain Posietint. I hate this darn thing. Yes it can leave a pink stain but that's it. I do not know how to make this work on my skin. It is doomed haha. I have tried both before and after foundation and all I get left with is a blob or it sinks into my skin and I cannot see it. So weird. I have just given up on it to be honest. 

Overall, I am happy I bought this and gave the 'samples' a try. I would never have paid full price for them to just try.

Let me know if you have tried these or anything else from Benefit.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms | JanBlog #20

Image
Hey guys, Well I ran out this morning to grab the new Revlon Colorburst Balms as I have seen them on every American YouTube video and blog so I needed one at least, or them all. Now they had the 'Just Bitten Kissable', 'Lacquer Balms' and 'Matte Balm' in stock, for now. They seemed to be going fast. I really didn't like any of the others and my hand was full of swatches. Sometimes I just get very focused on particular shades, like today. I have this bad habit of going for bright pinks and deep reds lately and everything I buy lip wise lately is cool toned haha. How pretty do they look? I got 'Standout' which is the deep red and 'Showy' which is the vibrant pink. Both cool toned hehe. They seem to be exclusive to Boots at the moment but are on their website, click here. They retail for £7.99 and are excluded from any offer going on at the moment. They have a wide range of colours in all versions of the balm. A...

Collection Does It All 5in1 Mascara

Image
Hey. Well the other week I saw Shaaanxo instagram a picture of her lashes using a Collection mascara. I thought wow that's pretty impressive for a product under £5. This mascara claims to curl, volumise, lengthen, condition and that it's long wearing. I can tell you now this is all true. I have been testing this for about a month now and it is seriously impressive.  I am terribly fussy with mascaras. I don't tend to like the massive wands with tonnes of bristles sticking every which way. It was very surprising to me that I love this mascara. The wand is very comparable to Maybelline 'The Rocket' and Benefit 'They're Real'. When I tried Maybelline's 'The Rocket' I was constantly poking myself in the eye or mascara would go all over my eye lid. I didn't find that it did a whole lot for my eyelashes. This beauty is £4.99 in Boots or Super Drug and sometimes they have it on offer for £4. I genuinely love this...

Wet N Wild Mega Liner

Image
Hey loves, As you may have guessed, Wet N Wild is available to buy in Ireland now. One of our supermarkets here called Dunnes Stores carries it. They booted Essence out and got Wet N Wild in. For those who are new to liquid liner or just prefer gel, try this if you can. As you can the brush is short but it isn't as pointed as some others I have seen. My issue with liquid liner is getting a grip with the brush so it's firm but still moves. I don't think for me, as a beginner, a long brush or handle is ideal. I love this product. The handle and brush make it so easy for you to have a good grip. The colour range isn't the largest but I chose turquoise for the Spring. I found two coats of this on the lid made it pop and look very different. This liner is so easy to use, I even managed to get a wing. That is a huge deal, for me anyway. For €2.99, I have to go back for more. For those in the UK looking for Wet N Wild, click here. Victoria xox
