PRODUCT FOCUS: Benefit World Famous Neutrals Eyeshadow Palettes – Review

Benefit World Famous Neutrals

Pretty much every woman I know has a neutral eyeshadow palette that is something of a go-to on an almost daily basis. However, they also usually end up throwing out a couple of colours as they are either unwearable or they favoured other colours in the palette and just never got around to using them up. This is quite wasteful and can work out rather expensive, so it's nice when a beauty brand … [Read more...]

PRODUCT FOCUS: BENEFIT FAKE UP – REVIEW

Benefit Fake Up 2

TRIED & TESTED: BENEFIT PERK UP ARTIST CUSTOM COMPLEXION CORRECTORS

BeneFit Perk Up Artist Custom Complexion Correctors

I have never met anyone who is blessed with a complexion that doesn’t require them to wear concealer. It is also true that most of us have more than one concealer requirement. Dark circles under your eyes, for example, need a different shade of concealer to discolouration around the nose and chin area. Personally I don’t like dragging a multitude of products around with me if I can avoid it … [Read more...]

Benefit Instant Beauty Kits main

Whilst I may be a guy who knows quite a bit about beauty and, in particular, skincare, I draw the line at make-up and usually pass that particular responsibility on to the wonderful Michelle and Frances in the beauty team. However, when Benefit’s Instant Beauty Kits arrived in the post I couldn’t help get a little bit excited. I love fun packaging you see, and these handy little complexion … [Read more...]
