I recently bought a load of Benefit makeup for the first time and have to say the brand has totally won me over. I was attracted to the stall in my local House of Fraiser by the unique illustrations and appearance of the products so went over for a closer look. I ended up throwing out all my old make-up to make room for the new pots and boxes – I couldn’t bring myself to throw away the packaging, its so pretty.

I purchased Dr Feel Good (£19.50) – a skin smoothing balm that helps reduce imperfections and lines, it feels lovely against your skin helps set a base for foundation. I wear it every day and really notice the difference in the texture of my skin, not cheap but a total must have! I also discovered their Non Fiction Foundation (currently on sale at £14.60), a light covering foundation that leaves skin looking natural rather than OTT. It’s by far the best foundation I have ever bought and has a lovely scent that people often comment on.

If you get a chance try their Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners, they are so soft and natural looking but give that litter bit of shimmer and sparkle to your eyes. I bought the Birthday Suit shade (£13.00) and wear it every day. The great thing about these eye shadows is that you can wear them on their own with some black liner and mascara, or you can use them as a base and build up different tones on top of them. A great buy in my opinion!

I couldn’t leave the Benefit stall without trying their renowned Bad Gal Lash Mascara (£14.50). It is fantastic for both daytime and evening lashes; I don’t think I’ll ever use another mascara.

They also gave me a sample of a new moisturiser which was great but I cannot find it on the website.

Check out the Benefil Website for all the products.
