Best Benefit - Christmas Present

Hello Chicas!!!

I hope you all had a splendid Chirstmas!  I had a lovely time back in my home time with my family - and even though it was me who ended up cooking lots of the Christmas dinner, everybody seemed to enjoy it!

Below is what my darling sister got me - the best of benefit as she knows I'm a sucker for all things Bene!

It's pint sized versions of their number one products and though I've tried them all before I'm super excited to have this as their small enough to go in my handbag to carry everywhere with me!

It features:

1) Benefit POREfessional - I love this mattifying primer
2) They're real Mascara - fantastic separating mascara that comes out in the blackest of blacks
3) Hoola Bronzer - SO happy to have this as it's my number one personally as it has zero shimmer and comes out beautifully natural but gives a real sun kissed glow
3) Cheek stain - honestly - I hate this...nothing personal but I really hate all cheek stains as their come out unevenly and un naturally
4) Bo-ing concealer - perfect for under eyes and contouring, I didn't have this so mega pleased to see this one!
5)High Beam highlighter - LOVE this gives such a beautiful glow on the cheeks

On the whole , i love 5 of the 6 which isn't bad at all! So thankful to have received it as it is just full of goodies!

Did you ugys get anything nice this Christmas?? Let me know!!

How to look POREfessional in under 5 minutes

Morning Ladies!

During the day when sometimes the low key is best,  primer is a god send. It immediately gives you a lift without looking too over the top.  This is why I find it as an absolute essential for when you're short on time.  It looks great matched with good mascara, eyeliner and lipgloss. Best of all, it takes less than 3 or 4 mintues to do.

Benefit's POREfessional is one of the better primers when worn alone as it does a great job in smoothing your pores to give you a more flawless complexion.  It's also got a hint of beige to it, so it also evens out any discoloration and gives you a more even skin tone without masking your natural tones.

All you need to do is smooth in a pea sized amount onto your face and neck and then add a little bit more to your problem areas (sides of nose and under eyes).  Most primers have a matt finish too so look great on their own without the need to waste time on powders.

Benefit's POREfessional - guaranteed to make you look fab in an instant!

Do you guys include primer into your work makeup routine? Let me know!

Zara Outfit of the day

Hello lovely ladies, 

Here's today's outfit - almost all Zara!  It's a beautiful sunny day today in London, but still not quite warm enough for a summer dress.

I've opted for Zara's light sky blue basic satin trousers (see it here), with a white sweater with transparent shoulders (see it here).  It's such a light an airy outfit it's perfect for these beautiful summer days.

I matched it with these stunning cream ugg wedges (similar here) which are my absolutely 'must' summer staple and this beautiful dark blue clutch from Accessorize - (similar here).  This clutch holds absolutely everything and can also be worn on the shoulder, perfect for taking to the park!

Makeup all Benefit Cosmetics - Benefit pore-fessional primer, Benefit Some Kinda Gorgeous, Benefit hoola bronzer, Benefit Dallas Blush, Benefit Badgal Lash and Badgal waterproof eyeliner

 I love walking through London on sunny days like these

Wow, I think I overdid it with the pictures! But I hope you like my Zara summer outfit.  Have you got any summer musthaves?
