Benefit Primed For Lovin' Tin

I needed one product. I walked out for 4. It was a steal. All I was after was the Benefit Porefessional primer to combat my pesky pores and create flawless skin. As I approached the counter the Benefit sales lady told me she had a better deal for me. Pointing towards a Christmas decorated stand, a collection of different coloured boxes stood. She told me to grab the red one, Primed for Lovin'.
Inside, for only an extra $16, I received four full sized Benefit products for $69, rather than just one for $53. Score! (USA price - $42, UK price - £44.50) Inside was the Benefit PorefessionalHigh Beam highlighterThey're Real mascara and Sugarbomb lipgloss. I was so happy with my little steal as I've been wanting to try the mascara for ages and I'd never owned a highlighter before.

Each product is absolutely flawless, as per usual for Benefit. I adore the highlighter, I feel like a whole new world has been opened. I was pretentious towards the idea of highlighting before purchasing this box, I'm young, my skin is glowy enough. No! No it was not.
The mascara, which the saleslady applied for me to show me how to use is amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes. I usually thought I had small lashes, nothing worth raving over. After complimenting my "lovely long lashes" the sales lady shocked me even further by showing me the end result. My lashes were full, long and dramatic. I'd never liked my eyelashes more in my life than I did right then.

The product I first sought out the Benefit stand for, The Porefessional, is everything I hoped it would be. It's lightweight, blends flawlessly and gives me an amazing base to start my makeup. It minimises my pores and also attempts to smooth out fine lines (even those annoying ones under my eyes).
I've not tried the gloss as I'm not typically a gloss girl, but it's nice to have a little sample sized gloss to be able to throw into my bag to swipe on when needed. It's a lovely dark pink, it looks perfectly natural on and smells great.

So Benefit has done it again, this product is well worth the money. There are other boxes available, each containing a different combination of products. It's perfect as a holiday gift for any makeup lovers you know, or even just a cheeky gift for yourself.
Adios, x
