Benefit Cosmetics | QVC Bundle
So in case anyone doesn't know QVC stock lots of quality, high end brands from cosmetics, skincare, clothing and even home-ware. They recently had a one off amazing deal on Benefit Cosmetics with a five piece 'best of benefit' collection and a makeup bag for only £44.97, where normally this retails for over triple that price!!! All you had to do was select a colour for the gimme brow product (light, medium or dark).
So what was included?
Hoola Bronzer
So I've never used Benefit Hoola before, I've tried some of there other products but didn't know what to expect. Like always it comes in a super cute packaging which is super visible for traveling, with the lid locking shut with magnets (so its not just going to fall open!) and a small brush which is perfect for application. When I applied it I was shocked, you only need a small amount of product on the brush for a good amount to be applied. It honestly gave me the perfect contour on my cheeks instantly, and then swiping across my forehead for extra colour lifted my entire face. (I will be buying this again)
High Beam Highlighter
I must admit, I have used this product before and again you only need a small amount for the perfect 'highlight' finish shimmering away on your skin.. The product itself is liquid based, I normally apply around 2-4 dots along the tops of my cheeks and then blend in either with a brush, sponge or my finger tips. I personally have recently become more of a fan with powder based highlighters, but love using this product still as an all round favorite...
Benetint (Rose)
This is one of those beauty products every girl will love and use, personally I love this product for the winter to pop inside my handbag because it can be a multi use. First off, dot around 2-4 small dots using the brush applicator you get when unscrewing the lid and apply along the apples of your cheeks. Then blending out again with a brush, sponge or your finger tips it gives a naturally pinky-tone glow. Then for matching (which is my all time favoruite use of this product) you can apply this on your lips for a perfect finished look, me personally I prefer to apply on my lips using my finger tips and blend in. Just the perfect product for a matching, natural finish makeup look. :-)
Gimme Brow
Now this is the only product from this collection where you need to pick a colour, for me personally I went for the 'dark' shade as I have very dark brown hair... But if you was blonde, then you would go for the light shade and if you was more auburn hair, medium shade (which isn't too dark or too light) then you would pick the medium shade. This was the first time I would be using this product so was rather excited to try it out, of course I researched the best way to apply and use the product before having a go myself. Benefit advise you apply this in the opposite direction at first, starting from the end of your brow working towards the inner of your face then work backwards setting all the fine hairs. I will admit, the first time I used this product I struggled, my brows ended up looking rather 'thick' and 'over the top' but after my second go I seemed to of got the hand of it and works a charm... The applicator isn't too big, and isn't too small with an unusual formula which is somewhat like a liquid but almost like a gel too? Either way I have fallen in love with the product.
They're Real Mascara
Now this mascara was my all time favorite before Benefit released Roller Lash, then I never used this product again. But since it came in the bundle pack, I gave it another go and WOW!! I now realize why I loved this product so much and have instantly started using this literally all the time... You only need one or two coats and it maximizes the most of extending your lashes, to look naturally long (I even had someone at work ask what 'false' lashes I use because they look amazing).
Makeup Bag
This was the product I was most excited about receiving, as with many QVC 'bundle offers' you always end up getting an awesome, exclusive freebie. I know previously I've received a brow mirror (handheld), and a folding up mirror which I loved. But when this product came, I wasn't overly 'wowed' or fell in love... I felt like the sizing of this bag isn't all that, its very small and 'travel' size like you could probably get about 4-5 large size products in at a push. But I feel like the quality of stitching on this product was rushed, its not to a 'benefit' standard, in fact there is a lot of loose end pieces of stitching come loose, or not cut off correctly. It was slightly disappointing, but with a pair of scissors I can cut then off and use this product as a small travel bag, or something to keep my main makeup products in inside my handbag.
This collection is still available to buy on QVC (UK) but now retailing for QVC price of £65 (which personally is still a great buy), view on QVC's website here. Honestly, it was beyond great value for money and I love every single one of these products some new which I've not tried before hand and some good old time products. X
