Benefit Swag

It was an exciting day when this bunch of goodies landed on my door mat....

Benefit California Kissing lipgloss // Benefit World  Famous Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette // Benefit Triple Performing Face Emulsion

 

 

I was super excited to receive all 3 of these products but I NEED to tell the world about one of these in particular....

 

I have seen loads of hype about these World Famous Neutrals palettes and after humming and haaahhing over which to try (there's 3 collections to choose from), I opted for the 'Most Easiest Neutrals Ever'.  This gorgeous group consists of  2 creaseless cream shadows in r.v.s.p and no pressure! and 4 longwear powder shadows in call my buff, thanks a latte, pinky sweat and quick, look busy.

 

 

So did these beauties live up to their gorgeous packaging and the blogger hype???  In a word....YES!!!  The cream and powder shadows apply like an absolute dream and I can confirm that the 'long-wear' tagline rings true.  Although I didn't find them to have quite the same longevity as their Bobbi Brown counterparts, I got a good 6 hour wear without a single pigment shifting.  That's good going in my books!  The colours are soft and sexy (and not done any justice in these photos!) and can be mixed and matched easily.  The cherry on the cake for me is the 'tips and tricks' advice sheet that comes with the box - it advises on day wear and night wear application and both create the most GORGEOUS looks!

Retailing at £23.50 on Feel Unique, I find this to be excellent value for money and recommend you go out and purchase one, two or three of these collections before they inevitably sell out!

 

 

Have you guys tried any Benefit products?  What's your favourite?  Any recommendations for my expanding collection?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Shed Seven....

Celine dupe tee // American Apparel Disco Pants // River Island peep toe boots // Primark gold chain necklace (old)

Firstly, apologies for the AWFUL composition of this photo.  I literally threw the iPhone at my lovely husband and forced him to take a picture as I was running very late for a train.  Which we then missed.  Oopppsss!!

I've been waiting for a few weeks for this tee to arrive all the way from China.  I know  that designer dupes aren't to everyones taste but I see no harm - I love designer treats but they are just that....treats!  I paired it with my ever faithful AA Disco Pants and my River Island bargain boots which I picked up the other week.  It's not really the weather for peep toes but it was time to suck it up in the name of fashion!

Sadly this outfit didn't get the outing it deserved as we ended up sqaushed in a car to London.  Fab weekend mind you...seeing Cyril Hahn was a definite highlight (sadly I was too tipsy to get an outfit post in my new Topshop dress!)

Did you guys have a good weekend?  What buys do you recommend for SS '13?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!
