I treated myself to a 'gals just wanna have fun' tin last week, mainly because I wanted some Benetint again, but also fancied trying the Gimme Brow. I got it for £20 in the sale (they're fifty quid on eBay!).
Well I love all of it, which is unfortunate as the full sized products are expensive! I knew how good Benetint is so that was no surprise (I like to use it on my cheeks and lips, with Vaseline on top of my lips). The Gimme Brow is great - the first product I've used on my brows that doesn't look false and drawn on, and you can build it up nicely. I got a free sample of Ka-brow too which also seems great. The tin contains three neutral eye shadows- I have never had much luck with eyeshadow so I don't usually wear it, but these colours really suit me and don't look too 'made up'. Lastly there's a little tube of They're Real mascara which I also like, however, it is proving hard to remove. Benefit sell a special remover for it so they should really pop a sample in the tin! I managed to get it off eventually with baby oil but I was left with oily film in my eyes which isn't ideal as I wear contacts. I usually wear the Boots tubing mascara which comes off a treat but doesn't have such a strong look as They're Real so I might keep the Benefit one for special days. Does anyone know of a cheap remover that works on They're Real?
I have another question about eyeshadow. There are three colours in the tin but a double-ended brush. What do people do? Use the same brush for multiple colours? And if not how do you remember what brush goes with which colour?
When they're run out I think I will buy a set of the eyeshadows and one of the brow products, not sure which one I prefer yet. Oh and I forgot to mention the Hoola bronzer in the tin, that's good too. Crikey this could work out quite expensive, I usually buy Rimmel!
What other Benefit products are good? I think I'm going to have to up my matched betting game to afford it anyway so might as well go all out
