Benefit Bad Gal mascara review



Hey on this sunny Saturday. Time for a lil review. I got a Benefit bad gal mascara with Glamour magazine and Ive been using it for the past week, so here's what i thought of it.
The main thing i noticed with this is that you have to apply lots of coats in order to achieve a noticeable look. The Benefit site states that it is a mascara "With a big, bad brush and a rich, black formula, it's like wearing a set of false eyelashes without the glue". Hmmmm now that is definitely debatable. For day use perhaps it could be deemed as ok, but i definitely wouldn't bother if it you are looking for the false lash look that Benefit claim. Another thing i found was that i had to check my face a few times during the day as it had a tendency to smudge, the panda look is definitely not sexy. I'm glad this was a freebie and i didn't waste my money on it, Lou x

Benefit boi-ing and You Rebel reviews

I was so excited to receive these products Ive been walking around looking like a hobo for the past week. I used them this morning and after i recieved a kind request im gonna review them for you guys.

You Rebel
This product was really easy to apply and offers good coverage for a tinted moisturiser, some Ive had in the past have had the consistency of water. The colour is good, its meant to suit most skin tones and i found it complimented me perfectly. As i am often plagued with spots i found i needed to dab some concealer on which is where my Boi-ing came in. I lightly dusted some power over my face to take off the sheen, i have oily skin, so that is always expected. It lasted all day without me having to touch up. Fab product.
Boi-ing
I am in LOVE with this concealer. As i mentioned my skin sometimes breaks out and this concealer disguised that perfectly. My baggy tired eyes were no longer and it lasted all day without creasing. Goodtimes!!!
The products i used today are below


Mac blusher in Peach Melba, Lancome juicy tube Berry bold, Benefit Hoola, Loreal colour appeal (sorry don't know shade), Benefit Boi-ing in 2 and FCUK eyeshadow (don't know shade)

New purchases

After waiting in all day yesterday for my delivery from Boots it came today. I picked up a pot of Origins never a dull moment as ive heard such fab things about it and im hoping its going to be as good as i hope.

Benefit Boi-ing concealer, i've been using a really horrible Natural collections one for the past week so im excited to try this out.

Finally some Benefit you Rebel tinted moisturiser, as the weather is hotting up i decided to ditch the foundation and embrace my skin, with a bit of coverage of course im not that brave lol.

I got a free Benefit Her glossiness lipgloss but im not too keen on the shade so may give it away. Reviews shall follow, what a lovely day it is. Sun, sun sun Lou x
