Benefit First Impressions / Demo

Good evening everyone , Birchbox kindly sent me three benefit samples which I have never tried before so I thought it would be great to do a first impressions and demo for you all so you can see what the products actually look like on your eyes.










I will go through each step and explain what products I am using :) so here goes!
The pictures of the look I created are in order underneath each other step by step
So the first thing I done was removed all my previous make-up and cleansed my skin with my all time HOLY GRAIL  Garnier skin naturals Micellar Cleansing Water.

I then applied all over my lids Stay Don't Stray by benefit - I personally find it helps your eyeshadow last a lot longer that it would without - I also think it sort of has a matte finish.

After leaving that for a few seconds - I applied their Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow to my eyelids just leaving the outer corner of my eyes bare for the next step, I found this went on my eyes like a dream it's such a gorgeous colour too , I think the only con is that it really is so glittery - I don't mind this too much but it looks too much if it was for a day time look.                                     

Not benefit related but I then took my  NAKED basics Palette by Urban Decay,
And my Urban Decay crease brush and blended the shade FAINT into my crease.
I also used the tiniest amount of the shade VENUS also from that palette just to put under my eyebrows just to brighten up the look.


After opening the Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner,
I removed the little orange stopper and attempted at doing my normal winged eyeliner look.... I think that the pigmentation of this liner is great, and the stopper to stop it drying out is great too....
I know that I only have the sample size so it may work different to the full size but it's quite hard to actually get a clean line without dragging it across your eyelid, Maybe that's because the sample size is all bendy where on the full size only the nib is flexible? 
If any of you guys could let me know if you have used the full sized product please leave me a comment on here I would love to hear your thoughts on the Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner :).


I totally forgot that a few weeks ago BEFORE the new Benefit Roller Lash Mascara was released I went out and bought the ELLE magazine just so I could try it out before purchasing the full size!

Now after using it for a few weeks it's my new holy grail,
I'd say I would have medium-long eyelashes and most of the time I struggle to find a mascara that will keep that curl as they just flop within like 10 minutes or so...I know it's all down to personal preference but if any of you are looking for a decent mascara and have the same struggles as me with your eyelashes I'd say go for the Roller Lash. The shape of the brush is great !
It's just the right size to help get those annoying eyelashes that you can't always get.

After finishing the make-up look I used the They're Real Remover with a cotton pad to remove the make-up,
I have sensitive skin and for once it was fine :) it does remove quite well without a struggle but the only downside is you have to go over it again around your eyes as you're left with a nice panda look ;) but to save wasting that I just tidied up and properly cleaned it off using my Garnier Micellar Water as it's the best next thing!


Overall I was happy with the products.
I hope that I gave you guys a good idea into what the products were like :).
