What I thought of Benefit's Push Up Liner

The super mega easy flawless idiot proof liner they called it.. Well, not quite, but you get the idea. The  'Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner' promised it all; long wearing and huggable on the lash line.  Seeing all the girls at my local Benefit counter working feline flicks and precise smoky eyes, I felt envious. I asked for them to apply it on me and I wasn't disappointed, the line was perfect and really gave my eyes that wide - eyed look. This liner is different in that you twist it and the liquid appears from the "AccuFlex" tip. Get rid of any excess and apply direct onto the lash line. They weren't wrong when they said the angled tip was easy to navigate...(although... It's easy to over do it and waste). However, every time I've used it, it has "cracked" and crumbled off - less 'Hollywood glam', more 'washed out twenty something'. On top of this, it's almost impossible to get it off. For £18.50 it's a disappointing buy and I would not recommend. Sorry Benefit.

All I want for Christmas is my eyebrows....

Eyebrows. Probably the first thing I notice about people these days. You don't realise how much they shape your face until you get them done. In school, I thought shaving excess brow hair was the way forward; "so quick and simple" I thought. Doing this was bad enough, but the fact that it was with a cheap Bic leg shaver makes it that much worse. Anyway, in summary, I'm paying the price today with thin eyebrows that just refuse to grow properly. As the Benefit girls always tell me dishearteningly "mhhhmm... one is a bit longer than the other". Thankfully, modern day make - up means that I don't have to have shapeless 'brows. Too scared to risk HD brows, I've mostly been using 'Browzings' the Benefit eyebrow product that will literally last years. However, Benefit have recently bought out Gimme Brow a tiny (but perfectly formed!) eyebrow wand. Available in 2 colours,  it's a gel that picks up your eyebrow hairs, giving you a really natural brow. It lasts me all day and is build-able so you can go for as much definition as you feel necessary. Even my mum has this and she loves it. I've had it a couple of months now, and even using it everyday it hasn't shown sign of drying. I love this product and will definitely repurchase. Have a look for yourself...
