Little Love Potions!!




This lovely bunch of minis from benefit was part of my birthday haul but I thought I’d give it its own little post after using them for a few weeks.





When I first brought this the main things that caught my eye were the POREfessional primer and BADgal lash mascara! I wanted to try the primer for some time so was excited to try. If I'm truly honest I still don’t know what to make of it because i have really big pores and this just makes them look cloggy and I'm not a fan of the feel; I will continue to use in the hope it’s just my eyesight!

BADgal lash is amazing; that’s all I really need to say! The brush is just my kind of brush and makes the lashes open up the eye! I was a little worried about this as it’s not waterproof and with my eyes non-waterproof just gives me black eyes (this does after a while) but I've noticed on the Benefit website that they do a waterproof version; it has a different brush but I'm willing to give it ago.

“that gal” face primer is a brightening primer, and my favourite out the two! It has a creamy consistency with a good wear time. I think this primer is great for those that don’t like silicone consistencies as it’s just like putting a face cream on.

Im currently loving Stay Don’t Stray, as it’s like putting concealer on before you actually do! For someone with dark undereyes like myself this is perfect at making the under eye blend into the face as it has such a good colour pigmentation!

You may have seen posie tint in my favourites post for last month! This is the perfect cheek tint! It is also a lip tint but I won’t be multitasking this product because of hygiene reason!

High beam is a highlighter that I had heard of before I purchased this set but never thought of getting it on its own, as I had never used a highlighter before! Oh my, now I can see why my sister said good things about it! It’s so easy to apply and even easier to blend out. The highlight effect that it leaves is a very natural shine; perfect for these cold months!

What’s up! Is the other highlighter and my goodness they are so different! I feel like this highlighter is best to highlight the nose, I think this because it’s on a stick and doesn't stretch very far so it’s great at blending out in the cheek!

Hoola bronzer was the bronzer everyone was going on about when I first started to watch YouTube. So for that reason I was excited to see it in the set! Disappointed with myself though as it’s the one product I've not used yet but very excited to when the time is right! 

My final mini was the Hoola lipgloss! I'm not a lipgloss person and would never go to the drugstore and buy a lipgloss but I love this! The one thing I don’t like the most about lipglosses is the fight your hair has when you go outside and get hit by wind! This isn't sticky in the slightest on my lips and it’s actually a lovely nude colour which I would never pick out for myself if I had the choice; so I'm glad this was in the set as it has taken me out of my comfort zone!


If your interested in this set the link is on my birthday post!

Mini versions are always so much cuter than the full size! Lovely post :)
