Grin I've bought Lanacane in Tesco and Sainsburys - IIRC near ant-histamine ( bites, stings, anti-hayfever treatments)

but if you want to rummage through pile cream too, hey feel free Wink

use nars instead, benefit stuff is quirky and rubbish and dries up really quickly.

The Lanacaine is very good. And dd found a smidge helped her get her high heels on smoothly.

I'm not usually a fan of benefit make up at all, I feel you are paying more for the fancy packaging than you are for the fairly average make up. Having said that I have tried gimme brow and really liked it. It's great if you have ok brows but just need them a bit darker and more defined.

I love love love Rockateur their new blusher.

If you like Benetint and PosieTint, 2True in Superdrug do it for about 4 a bottle.

The only product I really is highbeam highlighter. I love the effect and it lasts ages. I feel benefit products are very average for the price. I prefer mac and revlon. It might be worth you buying one of thier box sets, you get around five mini products for £25ish, so its a good way to try stuff out and see what you like.

I got my Brow Zing in the darker shade - Shock at how tiny it is.

It's really good, I did think " Bum, I should've just bought a mascara and used that" but it doesn't leave my eyebrows crispy like a mascara would (I used to use clear mascara )
Even my DD was impressed at my brows Wink

^^^^^^^^

Big fat lie Shock

GIMME BROW not Brow Zing

I bought their new base today 'The Big Easy' and it's fab! It markets itself as 'more than a BB cream' but it's good coverage and basically a foundation but a bit thicker. I was planning to buy the Oxygen Wow foundation I've bought before but this it's at least as nice. Main draw is it's SPF35, which is my main requirement in a foundation to have a high SPF - the oxygen one has spf25 which is the highest I'd found so far.

Anyone else tried it? Quite pricey at £27.50 same as Oxygen Wow (or YSL...) so hoping it looks as good when I apply it myself and it doesn't give me spots like most SPF products.
