This brand is one that I would love to explore further, living in Christchurch we aren't lucky enough to have a counter as yet,so when I was recently in the USA and Auckland I picked up a few items and quickly glanced across the stands at the other eye catching items to see what would be on my next "Must have"list.
I love that no matter which Benefit counter I seem to go to the staff are so passionate and enthusiastic about the brand, as a makeup artist who worked on counter myself I know there is nothing better than working for a company in which you love inside and out.
Leaving the counter with a positive experience is something you can guarantee with the Benebabes and I am already planning to book in at the Brow Bar on my next visit to Auckland very soon.
So what are my Top 5 Recommendations when it comes to Benefit Cosmetics:
1. Benefit Push up liner, I was lucky enough to receive this before it launched and oh my you need it on your lids as soon as June 27th hits!
2. Hello Flawless Powder, I discovered this in Hawaii and it was perfect to wear with the humidity. I love that it does exactly what it says and keeps you flawless all day.
3. Fake up Concealer, ahhh I love this! Especially in Winter this is a great product to own, with crease control and hydration what more could you want.
4. The POREfessional, I die for this, it is such a yummy product to wear under your foundation daily. Perfect for all skin types particularly oily skinned babes like myself it even helps to reduce the appearance of pores, that was the selling point for me.
5. They're Real Mascara, with a Remover soon to be released into the mix this is a must have mascara for all. I love that the brush has a finer end to really get into those little lashes that like to hide away.
So you've heard what I already love, so I thought I would share what's on my "To Buy" List
1.Agent Zero Shine - I lie this is a repurchase, having oily skin my faced loveeeed this product, it misses it dearly and reminds me daily by showing excess shine to show how much it needs to be back in my life.
2. Lolli Tint - Do I even need to explain this further... it's multi-purpose for lips and cheeks and its pink SOLD!!
3. Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation, I haven't yet had the chance to try this out, but after the raving reviews I feel out of the loop not owning it!
4. Coralista Blusher - I'm such a sucker for peach toned hues on the apples of my cheeks so this for me is a must,no matter what the season is I will always find an excuse to wear a pop of colour.
5. Hydra smooth lip color in shade Fling Thing has my name all over it. A vampy Berry toned shade is something a pout can never go without.
6. Gimme Brow - My sister even owns this and I don't !!!.......What is the world coming to!! You will be framing my face in no time, I promise.
So because I can't already convince you enough that you need a little Benefit loving in your life I thought I would let the beautiful Tamsin, Digital Marketing Manager Of Benefit New Zealand tell you all about her Benefaves!
Our b.right skincare range is amazing! I can't live without it's potent eye cream or moisture surge.
Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation in Honey - in my previous roles as a beauty editor I have literally tried every single foundation on the market and this is truly one of the best. It is hydrating and illuminating so your skin gets a natural, gorgeous glow but also provides great buildable coverage and evens out my complexion.
Fake Up - I love how this is super hydrating with great coverage. It covers any dark circles I may have without looking too heavy or settling in to fine lines.
Watts Up - I love this highlighter and wear it daily on my upper cheek bones. It's super easy to apply, I rub it on where I want it to go and then blend with my fingers before applying a box o powder.
Brow Zings & Gimme Brow - here at Benefit we are all about brows and I truly believe they are important to your look. I never leave the house without my brows on! If it's the weekend and I'm in a rush or feeling a lot more casual, I'll just run gimme brow through them but for weekdays or going out I always line and define my brows with brow zings first and then I put Gimme brow through for extra oomph.
They're Real - best mascara, hands down. Lengthens and defines lashes.
Dare Me Hydra Smooth Lip Colour - whenever i wear this red lippy I always get lots of comments. It's a bright, blue based red in a super hydrating formula. Our hydra smooth lip colours have shea, mango butter and vitamin e so they feel amazing on and never dry out.
I use Benetint as a base and then apply this on top. I love a red lipstick but it can be tricky to navigate when you're drinking and eating but this is amazing! Because the formula is so rich and nourishing it wears off evenly so you don't get an embarrasing tide mark. Genius.
They're real push up liner - I have always loved gel liners and preferred them to other types but find the whole pot and brush thing a bit annoying so this is like a dream come true.
I could go on and list many more but these are probably my absolute favourite products.
So if your lucky enough to live in the Auckland Region you can pop into both the Queen Street and New Market Benefit counters and say Hi to the pretty faces on counter otherwise you can shop online via the Smith and Caugheys website http://www.smithandcaugheys.co.nz/
P.s we will be featuring some of NZ's Benebabes very soon so stay tuned x
