Urban Decay Brow Box

I bought the Urban Decay brow box from a Debenhams beauty evening a few weeks ago for £17 which I actually think is a pretty good price for the brand. It comes in a cool purple and black patterned little box and contains; a mirror, two powder colour shades, mini tweezers, a mini angled brush and wax to keep the brows in place. 

You can but it in tow different colour shades I opted for Brown Sugar which is the darkest shade and matches my brows perfectly! I love this product it is very easy to use and sculpts brows brilliantly. The wax I find a little hard to use it often is a bit clumpy and you can see it on my eye brows so I use Vaseline instead to keep them in the same place. But overall this is my favourite eye brow product!

Benefit- Big Beautiful Eyes- An Eye Contour Kit

As some of you may know I won a big benefit beauty hamper a few weeks ago, now this is my favourite product out of all the ones a received (which is a lot!). This is just the most amazing perfect little compact for eyes. This kit has everything!

It does retail for £24.50 which is a lot but you do get a lot for your money. The compact includes Boi-ing concealer for to cover dark circles. A pink alabaster base eyeshadow, a coco shimmer eyeshadow and chocolate brown shadow for eye liner. It also comes with a mirror and a mini concealer brush, mini eyeshadow brush and a mini eye liner brush.

 Plus it comes with a little nifty instruction leaflet to show you how to create big beautiful eye, how handy! Of course there is many different ways you can use it though, I often don't use the brown eyeshadow for liner but to create a nice brown smokey eye.

The kit is brilliant for everyday wear and is small so easy to carry around with you. I seem to be finding it hard to find a small eye kits, most eyeshadow pallets don't even fit in my make-up bag! So I am very happy with this product it really has everything you need. 

Benefit Magic Ink Liquid Eyeliner

This eyeliner retails for £14.50 but I won it as part of a hamper at a Debenhams beauty giveaway. After trying out many Benefit products one of my favourite things about them is the intensity of their colours. This jet black liner backs that up with its strong dark colour. It is also pretty easy to use, the brush is just the right size of not being too thin nor too thick. It creates a strong sleek line nice in one quick stroke. It is quite wet when you apply so takes a few minutes to dry.

I prefer it on my upper lash line then my lower. As I thought it looked a bit too gothic and didn't really emphasise my eyes, just made me look like I was wearing lots of eyeliner!

But overall I do like this liner its easy and is long lasting.

It's Potent! Benefit Eye Cream

I am not a big believer in eye creams, especially ones that claim to reduce dark circles. After trying countless eye creams surrounded by hype I always end up disappointed. But finally I may have found one that works.

I received Benefit, it's potent eye cream in the hamper I won at a Debenhams beauty evening. It retails for £23.50 which in my opinion is a little steep but, i'm starting to be convinced its worth the money. It comes in gorgeous glass pot, it feels soothing and leaves your under eyes feeling refreshed. It absorbs in to the skin leaving it feeing fresh all day. It moisturises but isn't greasy even though you may not see a difference with dark circles straight away I can see a difference after  a week. My under eyes look a lot brighter feel nicer. It is also meant to help wrinkles and I guess its never to early to prevent them. I apply it before my make-up and as it absorbs quickly so makes a great base for make-up.

I will most definitely repurchase this when its finishes.

Urban Decay All Nighter Make-up Setting Spray

When I went shopping round Debenhams Bournemouth beauty department last week I couldn't really justify buying another eyeshadow or foundation, but I came across this make-up setting spray. I have never tried anything like this product before and thought it would be good to try out.

It is by one of my favourite brands Urban Decay and retails at £23 but I got it offer so got a 10% discount. I just got the spray for normal skin however they do have ones for oily skin and dry skin. I spray before I put my make-up on as well as afterwards. It makes my skin more dewy and fresh and I then apply the spray after I've finished my make-up to set it.

I am not completely convinced that it makes my make-up stay put for '16 hours' but I do like the product. My favourite thing about the spray is how light it is on my skin yet still sets my make-up.

Benefit Beauty Hamper

I mentioned in my last post that I was going to a Debenhams beauty evening in Bournemouth to celebrate their re vamped beauty counters. I had a brilliant night with free wine, cupcakes and a goody bag. Me and my friends also bought lots of make-up which I will do a post on soon.

As part of the night they had a number of prize draws for each beauty brand, and I won!!!!!!!!!! I managed to get my hands on an amazing Benefit hamper filled with £300 pounds worth of their products. I am honestly over the moon as weirdly since finishing uni I've got into this habit of entering loads of competitions and don't even get me started on my new addiction to scratch cards. But this is the first one I've actually won, not including when I got an embarrassing story published in Girl Talk and won some gel pens..... 

The hamper has everything any girl would want in it. Smokey eye palette, mascara, blusher, bronzer, perfume, lipstick, lipgloss, eyeliner, highlighter, mini essentials kit, eye cream, moisturiser an even more!!!

As you can tell I am extremely happy about my win. So expect to see many benefit related posts and reviews of the products that I won in the next few weeks!
