Although we often champion smaller brands here at The Amazing Blog, and love to discover hidden beauty gems, sometimes we feel it's only right to rave about the well-known brands that are certainly worth the hype. Here in the office, we have a bit of a penchant for all things Benefit, so when they sent over some of their best loved beauty products, we were positively jumping for joy.
First in our bag of goodies was the Roller Lash Mascara. The brand's latest release, it has been all the rage here in London, and for good reason. Designed to work as a hair roller would, the cute pink wand is equipped with tiny hooks, which lift and curl the lashes, negating the need for eyelash curlers. As well as looking more wide-eyed, we loved how fluttery and soft it made our lashes look. It's the perfect addition to a girly make-up look.
As much as we loved the mascara, our favourite product was Benefit's classic highlighter, Watts Up! We adore a glowing complexion, and find this to be perfect for giving a soft focus shimmer to our visage. Nothing says old Hollywood glamour like a screen siren glow. As strobing is the latest craze, what better product is there to invest in than this.
Last but not least, Benefit's They're Real! Push-Up Liner takes a bit of getting used to, but with a bit of practice, it's a great tool for creating a feline flick. The thing that impressed us most was just how black it is. There's nothing worse than 'black' eyeliners that are actually slightly grey, or have a bit of a translucent pay off. This liner is jet black as can be, and a perfect consistency for staying put all day long.
You'll surely benefit from one of these fabulous products. Treat yourself to the Roller Lash Mascara here for £19.50, the Watts Up! Highlighter for £24.50 or the They're Real! Push-Up Liner for £18.50.
