Brand review: Benefit cosmetics

Posted by Grace
Benefit was set up in San Francisco in 1976 and since then the business has grown and grown with products that never fail to amaze people and have award winning products in every category, I own quite a few benefit cosmetics and some things which I don’t own currently I have tried and loved (what’s up highlighter and the PoreFessional)

The only problem with base products from benefit is there shade range especially with concealers it would be nice to have more choice.

For the eyes I used the smoky eye palette which came with 3 eyeshadow shades an eye brow cream product, an eye liner, eye bright and tweezers it is such a great on the go/ going out palette and the shades also come in handy for other looks. I used the They’re Real Mascara which I love, the formula makes your eye lashes stand out and the product will stay on all day that’s a guarantee! Benefits eye brow products are worth the hype

The eye bright is crucial for mapping out the brows and the powder and cream work well to define yet give a natural effect to the brows.
Another thing from Benefit which are really worth the the hype are there box blushers, I have tries Dandelion and Coralista, both add a healthy and beautiful flush to the cheeks and they are very easy to apply.

The only thing I feel disappointed about with benefit is their lip glosses, I have a sample sized one that I got free in a magazine, it smells nice, has little colour pay off and the price of a full sized one is £14 which is just too pricey when I have found a better gloss for £2.50 from Look beauty

Over all even though I haven’t talked about half of the great products benefit do, if you are wondering about buying something from the brand and are worried about the price, you get what you pay for, the packaging is great and the products are to! Everything smells nice and colour pay off is great I strongly recommend the brand especially for teenagers especially around Christmas time when they have great box deals! Xx
