I've just discovered Benefit. How could I have lived all this time and not found them before is the question which is still perplexing me?!

Bought massive pile of products a few weeks back which have all become daily staples. I give you:

Browzings (brow definer wax / powder) - wow - really make a difference

Hello Flawless (powder base)

Benetint - liquid blusher - veh natural

Also like:

Rimmel Hide the Blemish (for heavy duty breakouts) or Estee Lauder Double Wear concealer for day to day stuff / shadows etc

Lancome Artliner liquid eyeliner

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Rose tinted vaseline

LaurieFairyonthetreeEatsCake · 26/01/2011 20:28
