Over the years I have tried so many of Benefit products and so far I am yet to be disappointed by any of them.


The packaging on their products screams out that it's a definite luxury product to be enjoyed and to look good in your bathroom too!

The products are very pricey for what they are, but if you want to treat yourself or your best friend then they don't be disappointed.

There range contains the following products. I have added where possible my thoughts and experinces of each product...


-------------------------
Benefit Dandelion
-------------------------

A ballerina-pink finishing powder for your cheeks. Gives your complexion a radiant look in an instant.

Price £22.00

* I love this product. It's a wonderful pink blusher that really does lift your dull complexion in the mornings. It's not a bright pink so it will suit most peoples colouring. The soft pink colour gives your skin a fresh look. This product is suitable for any skin type and doesn't make you look like a clown. The brush that comes with it is perfect for applying the blusher bit by bit.

-----------------------------------------------
BeneFit Kohl Eye Sketching Pencil
-----------------------------------------------

Benefit's sketching pencils are extra long, extra soft & extra sponge-tipped for blending to artistic perfection.
Comes in a range of colours

Price £12.50

* It is expensive for an eye pencil Comes in either blue or brown. I have tried the brown pencil and I have found that it gives the same results as a cheaper one such as Boots No.17 or Rimmel. My advice would be to stick to a cheaper one. You get better results if you practise.

---------------------------------
BeneFit Plush Mascara
---------------------------------

Benefits mascara. Comes in a range of colours

Price £13.00

* Comes in either brown, black, egg plant (maroon) or navy. It is an expensive mascara but it's a pleasure to use and the colour egg plant gives my eyes a real look to them! I find that black mascara gives too much of a harsh effect. The mascara is easy to remove and does last all day but it is not waterproof.

--------------------------------------------
BeneFit She Shells Eye Colour
--------------------------------------------
Adorable, cute shells are filled beautiful iridescent shades for your eyes.


Price £13.50 each.

* I brought two of these for my best friend, almost kept one for myself! They look really cute in thier little shells, the colours are great too:

"she star" - Darky yellow
"she shore" - Light Orange
"She breeze" - Pale Pink

When my friend wears these eye colours they really give the eye a fresh look to it. They are easy to blend into the eye lid and it does last the whole night. My friend gave me the privilage of using the pale pink colour and it's such a cool colour. I willbe buying my own one soon as it will be a perfect colour for the summer months.


-----------------------------------------
BeneFit She Shells Lip Colour
-----------------------------------------

Adorable, cute shells are filled beautiful iridescent shades for your lips. Comes in a range of colours

Price £13.50 each

* Simlar to BeneFit She Shells Eye Colour's but for lips. Comes in just two different shades of pink, a darker one and a very pale colour. I have the paler colour and it is a bit too pink for my colouring. The lip colour is more like a gloss than a lip stick, sort of inbetween. Would be ideal for popping in your bag on a night out as they are so small.

---------------------------------------------
BeneFit Silk Lip Sketching Pencil
---------------------------------------------

Lip pencil for outlining lips. Comes in a good range of colours.

Price £12.50 each

* These are great. I have brought the lip pencil in two different colours but i use a different brand of lip stick with them. By using this lip pencil they really define my lips and give a better effect than just the lipstick on its own. The lip pencil last's a good length of time and is very easy to blend in. I have found that i can apply the lip pencil and then add a slick of gloss on top and i have a coloured lip gloss!

---------------------------
BeneFit play sticks
--------------------------

Foundation, powder and concealer in one.

These powder like foundation are infused with extracts of green tea and chamomile to promote a healthy complexion.
Comes in a range of colours

Price £25.00 each

* In my opinion for the amount of foundation you get, you'd be better off buying a decent tube of foundation. I had brought one and as I didn't have particually good skin back then I used them up fairly quickly! So ideal for more mature skin that has the odd imperfection from time to time.

--------------------------------
Benefit Eyelash Curler
--------------------------------

How to style your lashes the stylish way!

Price £10.50

* I tried these out in the shop and ended up not buying them as they gave me the same results that my old metal ones give me. They do look better but work the same.

----------------------------
Benefit Kitten Coffret
----------------------------

A powder and puff that makes your skin glisten and the lip gloss adds shimmer and shine.
Comes in a range of colours

Price £26.00

This is great to give to a girl friend as a present, she will really thank you for it. I use this when going on a big night out. It gives your skin a sexy polished look that is irristible! The puff is really cute and is a pleasure to apply.


-------------------------------
BeneFit flamingo fancy
-------------------------------

Gives your skin a wonderful glow.

Price £16.00

* Always been a bit put off with this. Its a body moisturiser in a bottle that gives your skin a colour, like fake tan but it will wash off at the end of the night. Never too sure with these types of products as if it rains your going to have streaks of colour down your arms and legs. So would be ok for an indoor party! I tested the colour in the shop and it looks a horrific orange when you first apply it, but after you have blended it in it gives a nice natural healthy glow effect.


-----------------------------------------------------

A tinted moisturiser that gives your complexion some coverage, moisture and sun protection too.

A velvet body balm that adds a shimmery look to your skin

* I have this one and it's such a good product to have in your bathroom. It's a bit pricey but it's a luxury product. I use it on my bare legs in the summer and makes my pale legs far more interesting. It gives a shimmery look and add's a sublte sexy smell to skin too.

Benefit Bathina 'Touch Me Then Try To Leave' Cream
---------------------------------------------------------------

Benefits very own perfume.

Blends of apricot and white ginger, fresh water blossoms of cyclamen, lychee and bergamot, white musk, Himalayan poppy and warm peach.

--------------------------
Benefit Moon Beam
----------------------------
A face illuminator which adds a warm shimmer to your complexion.
For best results apply under makeup or wear alone for an overall glow.


Price £15.00

This is a product to be used in conjunction with Benetint. It's a face highlighter that enhances your cheek bones. After applying the benetint add a line below the benetint. It gives your cheek bones more definition. I also add it to my eye brow area.

Included:

Socks, 80% cotton and 20% nylon
Sandal Scandal Bathina Benefit 130ml

Price £27.50

The AHA's in this product have been included to help get rid of dead skin on the soles of your feet. I use this when I am going to be wearing strappy sandles and I want my feel to look good! The socks are very comfortable to wear. I do this treatment the night before. Apply the cream and then put the socks on and wear overnight. My feet do feel a whole lot better after the treatment but it does not get rid if the hard skin. I use a pumice stone for that and then do the treatment again.

--------------------------------------------------------------
BeneFit Do It Daily! Protective Moisture Lotion
--------------------------------------------------------------

Plain and simple... Do It Daily moisturises and protects.

Price £23.50

I had this brought for me and it is a really nice moisturiser that leaves your skin silky soft to touch. Perfect for after showers to ive your skin a boost.


Verdict
----------

If you want to add a little luxury into your beauty life then you simply must try one of Benefit's Products. I would advise visiting the benefit counter and testing some of the products before buying. The sales people are all too happy to help and will advise you what each of the products are designed to do.

For make up, I would recommend Benefit's Benetint for a sexy red lips that stays on!

For body I would recommend Benefit Oh So Fine!

For bath time I would recommend trying BeneFit Bathina Beauty Bubble for a bath full of soothing bubbles!
