Benefit Minies

Anyone else get excited by the little travel minis of shampoo and stuff for when you go on holiday?

Well imagine how much I love mini makeup then. Benefit are one of those brands that I hear so much about and are so well liked that I've been wanting to try their stuff for ages, so when I saw a porefessional sample in Elle magazine, I knew I had to buy it. That was back in June I think, so when I saw a free They're Real Liner in October(?) I had to buy that too. I have to be honest £4 for a magazine is a little more than I would like to spend especially since Elle is about 50% adverts. However the most recent Issue was one I wanted to buy anyway because it was the feminist issue. It was so good, definitely worth the read, it was so inspiring and interesting and motivating.

Anyway onto the make-up, I really liked the primer, it was really good and I will definitely be buying the full size. It makes my makeup last far longer, gives a smoother base to apply foundation on and stops me getting shiny.

The liner on the other hand wasn't quite as impressive and definitely isn't one I'd be repurchasing particularly considering the price.   However it is very long lasting and lasted for a full 12 hours without smudging, the thing that let it down was the ease of application, I personally found it very hard. On the other hand if you learnt to apply eyeliner with this pen from the beginning and got used to it I think it would be far easier. 

I've seen very mixed reviews on the eyeliner, so what do you think?
