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!!

They're Real! Mascara by Benefit

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I swear by two brands for mascara - Benefit and Dior. Of those, until today, I had my two top mascaras listed as Benefit's BADgal lash and Dior's Show in Blackout.  Both have wands that just say OOMPH when you look at them.  Great big wands with huge bristles that twist your lashes into beautiful great big curls.

 And then today, something crazy happened.  I bought a silicone wand mascara. A mascara with a sensible, small and extremely non excitable looking wand.  Why??  Because it was rated the UKs number one -  Benefit's "They're Real" mascara. All my fellow mascara loving Brits couldn't be wrong, could they? I had to see it for my self.

Benefit's They're Real Mascara with cute packaging.

Review: 10/10
Excuse the sweaty face (its been kinda hot here in London).  But I hope you guys can agree that They're Real Mascara has really done a great job.

I'm not going to lie. I WAS ASTOUNDED. I don't know if its the small innocent looking wand or some kind of mad formula, but this They're Real mascara seriously doubled my lashes.  It had them flicking upwards and it lasted all day.  From the first brush stroke, I could tell it was good - it gripped to all my lashes and litterally tugged them upwards covering them all with a layer of this super lack mascara

What do you think?  Have you guys tried it, or do you prefer its sister BADgal lash.  I'm currently torn between the two!
