I was wondering around my local Boots, and a lady whose name I don’t remember, but she was lovely, asked me if I wanted a quick makeover trying out some products and I said yes. I wouldn’t say no to a little bit of free pampering!
We had a little chat about what products I use from the brand anyway and what I did and didn’t use in my daily routine. She first used some concealer -Erase Paste in fair £20.50, I did like this but for such a small pot and the stickiness of the formula didn’t appeal to me. Then she went on to use some foundation again in fair -Hello Flawless £26.50, the price was a little too much and I did inspect the slight orange tones on my face which wasn’t so flattering, the colour of the make up pad remover was awful. The powder was next -Hello Flawless £25.50, again a high price and not one I would be willing to pay for something a much cheaper alternative does for me. Im not 100% sure on the blusher she used but they are about £23.50 which again is too much for me, it was a subtle pinky colour that I liked but not enough to invest that much in a small pot of blusher. We also used mascara -They’re real £19.50 this did make my eyelashes longer and bolder, but it was on top of my usual mascara, I liked the look but maybe just for special occasions rather than daily wear. A new product we tried was for brows -Gimme Brow gel £18.50 in light/medium it added some more colour and definition to my brows and made them look sharper, I did like this and you apply it like mascara with a little wand, but the price is a little too much, maybe i’ll add this to my wishlist/christmas list!
So there was my experience with a lovely lady from Benefit Cosmetics in my local boots, for free. A little pampering, trying anything I wanted and learning more about the brand.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience and have found just one item I would invest in the eyebrow gel, but for me, everything else I can get from an alternative brand without the large price tag.
Do you use any of these products? What would you like to try?

The They’re Real mascara is my go-to mascara, it really is wonderful. I know they sell a lot of sample sizes of Benefit products on eBay so perhaps try the samples first :)? That’s what I did with the Mascara 🙂 xx

It is amazing, but I get the same/similar results with a cheaper brand.
Thank you, I may do, but I do love the brow gel so I might just add it to my christmas list!
