I know some people may have heard me briefly talk about this in my most recent YT haul video (here) but if you haven't then I thought I'd do a quick post.Basically all Benefit counters (Boots, Debenhams and House of Fraser) in the UK are doing a great offer, if you buy two products you get a free, full size, 50ml B-Spot perfume. Which is great as I love this sweet smelling scent and I've wanted it for ages.
I would never usually gravitate towards the Benefit counter as it's a brand I used to used a lot when it first came out years ago but I've long forgotten due to my obsessions with Mac, Nars, EL and YSL.
But I'm so glad I've rediscovered my love for the brand and here's why!
Most of you will know this concealer but for those who have yet to try it I'll give mini review!This is a fantastic concealer and so it should be for a hefty £15.50. It has a smooth, almost waxy texture which I find works really well for my sometimes oily skin. It blends really well and lasts for ages.
It is advertised as an industrial strength under-eye concealer but to be honest you can use it anywhere, I have anyway and I love it. Under the eye's it surprisingly does not crease/cake and really covers my dark circles all day! I'm definately impressed.
The other item I picked up was one of Benefit's new lipglosses, Life on the A List!

I was instantly drawn to this gorgeous colour, a beautiful baby pink with a hint of peach and I loved the name. I have tried their older lipglosses, Her Glossiness (on sale now btw online) which I loved and is the only tube I've ever finished so I knew I'd like this!It smells gorgeous, really fruity, good enough to eat and applies really smoothly, not at all patchy like some liglosses.
I really love the colour of this but it isn't as pigmented as I'd hoped, it does look pretty on the lips but like I said a little sheer.On the plus side it makes my lips feel gorgeous and soft.
The killer for me of this lipgloss is the annoyinly small stopper, you have to pump the wand around 6 or more times to get enough for the right application.I love the colour and I will use this but I'm not sure I'd re-invest.
I'm so glad I tried Benefit again and will definately be going back to try some more products.
What else is good? Any suggestions?

I LOVE the creaseless cream shadows - definitely try them out hol! x
i love that lip gloss and was planning to buy that last time but bought 'who are you wearing' by accident. opps. i really want to try that concealer, and cant recommend coralista highly enough!
I always seem to forget about benefit! Poor benefit lol but what I do have from them that I love are two of their eyeliners...gilded and mr. frosty. I'm not sure why I don't try out more products maybe cause I haven't heard many reviews...who knows?
Her Glossiness lipglosses are my fave!! Thanks for the heads up on the sale :) xx
The lip gloss is soo pretty - definitely giving that one a go! xx
Ive never used Benefit before to be honest... but this may be a great time to start :P

I have just bought their erase paste. And really like it. Prefer it over the mac concealer. Tell you what I do love of theirs, like Sabrina is the coralista blusher. It is gorgeous, and smells really nice too
I've heard a ton of good things about the boi-ing concealer thing and I think I'm going to have to get it!
I agree with the comment from Hele, the creasless cream shadows are THE BEST thing ever! I cannot live without them, plus the colours are gorgeous! I really enojoyed your video by the way :)
I need to pick up Boi-ing in 01, I got 02 but its way too dark on me now :(
I do love Benefit but I think their pricing is very high considering their target market.
Did you test any of their new perfumes? One smells very like B-Spot and the other 2 are lovely as well xxx
I love Benefit! I really want to try a blush or the high beem high lighter!
I always have to hold myself back as I want to buy everything! The packaging looks so cute!
I love boi-ing, I use it EVERY day and I swear by it!! Do you know how long the offer is on for?! x x
love boing!
Just realised you wont have seen my twitter thingy coz you don't follow me!
