Benefit bold is beautiful project

Benefit 

BOLD IS BEAUTIFUL







For only £2.00 from any Benefit store or counter you can purchase this sample pack. Not only are you purchasing the samples you are donating money toward their project. 
Benefits helps two charities, One being the  Look Good Feel Better  which helps supporting women with cancer and another being the Refuge charity which is for women and children against domestic violence. i am sure if we all gave them £2 it would go along way. 


What you get in the pack



Face emulsion SPF 15 
It hydrates, protects and comforts the skin. Really good sample size you can get just over a days worth of product if you use it day and night. 


ITS POTENT Eye Cream
Fades dark circles and helps smooth fines lines all while promoting radiance. Another decent size sample (don't forget you only need a rice grain amount with any eye cream) Don't swipe always press the cream into the skin. 




BIG EASY Complexion Perfector 

 Here they give you three different shades, this is meant to be one of their best selling products or so I was told at the counter, I would love to see if you have a review of it. 
- Balances moisture 
- Self adjusts to your skin tone
-Evens skin colour with a powder finish
-SPF 35+




HELLO FLAWLESS OXYGEN
A brightening foundation 
Helps protect against free radicals, Gives a plumping effect and with vitamin C it helps signs of ageing. This is a product I currently own already and it is fantastic. Gives your skin a beautiful glow too. 


This works great as a starter pack too if you have never tried Benefit cosmetics, go up to the counter and ask!

Laura Mercier foundation primer


Laura Mercier foundation primer



I have been after this little one for a while now, Well ever since the lovely girl at SPACE N. K introduced me to it, I fell in love! It is a perfect product and since I have brought it, I use it everyday.
I really love Laura Mercier products, It really is worth checking out their social networking sites and signing up to their newsletter. 

About the primer, So at £29.00 this isn't a cheap primer, But it is worth is. This one comes out in a creamy clear gel form that just quickly absorbs into the skin and gives it the mattifying feeling. You can put this on top of clean skin or onto of moisturised skin. So the perks of using a primer on your skin. It makes your make up last longer which is a god send for us girls who work stupid amounts of house at work. Mine always seems to melt off my face especially with this heat. It contains the lovely vitamins A,C,and E which helps with free radicals (nasty pollution) great if you work in the city!



For me I just love the feel of this product, Really is worth considering buying especially if you have dry skin like me and need a little more care when doing the daily make up routine.

NARS - RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER REVIEW

NARS 
Radiant creamy concealer review







In shade Light 2 VANILLA £22.00


As I mentioned before with my previous post when it comes to make up I do tend to stick with the products I know, Like A creature of habit I buy them over and over again. Sad really as it means I never try a new brand or products. I am slowly getting better with this, having turned away my 'boi-ing' concealer by benefit I have made a fantastic switch to NARS. 

This concealer is £22 to buy instead of the boing from benefit at £17.50 so a tiny bit more expensive but really worth it. Don't get me wrong the benefit one covers imperfections and great for under the eye but this NARS one does that and more. It gives you a added boost of radiance and also works as a highlighter to help contour your features. 

It is very easy to apply with the applicator wand, straight onto of foundation onto the face. I usually blend this in with my fingers of using a blending sponge. They both give the same results.

For best results I do reapply this under my eyes every 5 hours or so,  just to brighten them up a little. 





The benefits 


There are a few things that make this concealer special, for a start it is enriched with multi action skincare benefits and light diffusing technology. It create a smoother and a lot softer complexion while instantly diminishing fine lines and signs of fatigue. Which lets face it when we are tired we need something that does this! 

My views on this, well I love it. I love the packaging, I love the colour, the texture, the fact it works! its a all rounder!
