Benefit | Customized Makeup Kit!

I wanted a lot of Benefit makeup for my birthday as it's my current favourite makeup brand. I was so suprised when I found out I could customise my own Benefit makeup kit online for £66! The products I chose were The Porefessional primer, Rockateur blusher, Fake up concealer and a creaseless cream eyeshadow. I also love the super cute Benefit makeup bag that you get free with the kit!

Complexion
The Porefessional primer has been on my wish list for a long time. Many bloggers have raved about this primer and I just couldn't wait to try it out for myself. Porefessional claims to minimize the appearance of  pores and I can definitely notice a difference! This is also amazing for oily skin as it keeps oil at bay for longer than my usual primers. My skin also feels super soft and smooth. Overall, at a pricey £24.50, this a great primer and I can see this staying in my beauty bag for a long time!

Cheeks
Rockateur is a rose gold blusher that is like nothing I've ever owned before. This is probably one of the most expensive blushers I've ever bought at £23.50. I don't really know why it cost that much as it's staying power is no different to Bourjois blushers. I find the brush that comes with the blusher useless but thankfully the blusher blends really well! It isn't as pigmented as other blushes but the colour is stunning with just the right amount of shimmer. I would buy this again but the price does put me off a lot!

Eyes
 I've never heard of Benefit's Fake Up until I saw it on the website. Fake Up is a hydrating crease control concealer for underneath the eyes. I got the lightest shade and it suits my skin perfectly! The concealer claims to hide lines and I did notice a difference! My dark circles also look 1000 times better too. Fake up also blends like a dream. I would definitely buy this again as at £18.50, this is one of the less expensive Benefit products but I also think it's one of their best!

Free Gift
 I was so excited that Benefit also included a free gift in the kit! I decided to choose a cream eyeshadow as I loved the ones in the easiest nudes ever kit and I just had to add another to my collection! This shadow is called Holy Smokes which a smouldering charcoal. I love using this as it blends amazing and is really pigmented. It also doesn't crease and it stays on for hours.

Overall, I love my costomized Benefit kit! All of the products come in a super cute Benefit makeup bag. I love the packaging of the products and they look perfect in my makeup stash! My favourite product is probably the porefessional primer as it definitely met my high expectations! At £66, I hope you all treat yourself to a custimized kit!

Wish list | Benefit

The Porefessional | Rockateur | High Brow | Longwear Powder Eyeshadow | Total Moisture Facial Cream | Hello Flawless Powder | They're Real! Mascara | Boi-ing Concealer | Hoola Bronzer | Benetint

It seems we've both gone make up mad already this year! Once a makeup junkie, always a makeup junkie. I love buying clothes and shoes but is there anything better than getting a new piece of makeup? I don't think so!

Benefit is a brand I've always be intrested in. The amazing packaging, the names, the products. It's just a brand that is perfectly girly and such a treat to invest in. Okay, so it might be really expensive but I think treating yourself to nice skincare and make up really pays off and you can definately tell the difference. This is our wishlist. It's our 18th birthday on the 7th Feb so I'll be hoping to see some of these in my presents! Doesn't make up you can't affort make the best presents? :) We've both been loving the skincare range recently! We bought the mini set from ASOS to try it out and it's sooo good. It's made a real difference to our skin! Obviously, the make up is just beautiful too but I haven't bought much Benefit makeup. I really want to try out the Porefessional primer and Rockateur blush! I tried a tester of the primer and it's simply amazing!
