This Christmas was all about beauty...in particular Benefit beauty, I love Benefit and it is the only make-up I use (apart from my one Body Shop BB Cream which is too good not to use!). The Christmas gift sets are my favorite and are always on my list, they last all year round too so by the time the new ones come out it is great to experiment and try the new shades. This year I was greatly spoiled with Benefit products much to my delight!!
One set under the tree was 'Upgrade to Gorgeous' which includes High Beam- a complexion enhancer, Porefessional- pore minimiser, Sugarbomb- blusher, They're Real- amazing mascara and a mini sample of Laugh with me Lee Lee perfume. Like I said, i was spoiled :) Each of these products is a great addition to my daily routine, although I do save the mascara for nights out etc as it makes them HUGE which is a bit much for daytime. Instead I stick to Benefit Bad Gal mascara for a natural, day time look.
I was lucky enough to receive two gift sets this Christmas and this one is perfect, it creates the perfect coverage and looks great! 'How to Look the Best at Everything' comes in three different shades to cater to varying skin tones, mine is light as I am as pale as they come. The set contains more Porefessional- pore minimiser which is velvety soft and really does hide troublesome pores, Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow- this Champagne shade Me Vain? is the perfect match for me and it feels weightless on the skin, Boi-ing- two shades of concealer which look fabulous under the dark eye circles...the virtually make them disappear, Hello Flawless- also in Me Vain? Champagne I use this powder daily as I love the way it feels and looks. This set is great, and combined with my 'Upgrade to Gorgeous' I am all set with everything I may need for a very long time.
The only thing missing from these two sets is the amazing Benefit Brow Zings kit which adds the final touch to any make-up. I was delighted to find this in my stocking on Christmas morning, my make-up bag is now complete! The set contains a wax for shaping the brow and the a powder to fill in and blend together for a sleek look...it even comes with two mini brushes and mini tweezers!!
Just in case I did run out of my trusty Me Vain? Champagne powder, Santa slipped an extra box under the tree to ensure I am never without. This means I shall always be prepared and looking good.
Finally, a girl needs to look good but also needs to smell good! My favourite perfume of the moment is Nina Ricci's Ricci Ricci scent and I was thrilled when I got a brand new bottle for Christmas. It is not a flowery smell it is more subtle as I am not a flowery kind of girl. It does get many compliments too so it must smell good to others also :)
So it was a very beautified Christmas this year so I have no excuse to be having a bad make-up day with all this Benefit loot. I cannot wait to start experimenting with it all, and hopefully it will banish the dry, flaky Winter skin that has been haunting me even since the sun disappeared!
