Book Lovers?

Hello guys! This post is going to be quick and to-the-point, but if anyone is interested in books, I have just started a book blog over at: ofbooksandbadgers (its on wordpress, scandalous)

Just a heads up! I'll hopefully be posting more consistently in the next month or so!

Bye!

Benefit Goodies A Go-Go||Chatty Review

Chatty review? Is that what I'm calling them now? I guess so!
The glare from my light... it'll be the end of me!

I seem to always be apologising for not posting, but sorry for not posting! My new year's resolution is to post more!

So I'm back with another of these 'chatty reviews'! I'm calling them that because I don't think I'm critical enough for these to be full-on reviews, so I prefer them to be chattier.



Moving onwards! This is another christmas present I received. Christmas seems like so long ago despite it only being last month! This is the Benefit Goodies A Go-Go set, which is definitely an eye set.


You open it up to be greeted by a little booklet with a couple of smokey eye looks you can achieve with this set, and underneath that, you font the products themselves

There are four eyeshadows, a mini Stay Don't Stray, and also a mini They're Real mascara. Let's start from the left, with the eyeshadows!
call my buff doesn't show up that well on camera, you'll just have to trust what I'm saying!
Call My Buff: This is quite a light shade, but is an amazing highlighting colour and is my current go-to eyeshadow.
Gilt-y Pleasure: Was a lot more gold-toned than I expected from how it looked, but I am IN LOVE with this!
Thanks a Latte: I think this is a bronze-y colour, but I'm sure someone will correct me! This shade is fabulous and although I haven't used it as much as the others, I always get compliments when I use it!
Kiss Me, I'm Tipsy: Unlike the other shades, this is more matte than frost, and is a gorgeous colour for your crease!



Next is the mini Stay Don't Stray primer. I am very pale, and since this was in light/medium, I was worried it would be too dark for my skin tone, as I am very pale. But, much to my surprise, this blends amazingly, and is now a daily must. I wear eyeliner everyday even if I don't do anything else to my face, and I often get the problem of my eyeliner transferring from my lash line up into my crease, but this primer stops that and I am so grateful for that!


Last but not least, a mini They're Real mascara. I'm sure you've all heard about it, and all I can say, it definitely is what everyone says it is! It is amazing, but can be a pain to remove if you don't want to splash out on the special remover. This is amazing for school, especially if you have PE, because sometimes you don't really want all of your makeup to sweat off, so having this in your bag along with a little pack of makeup remover wipes and a bit of concealer can really help you get through the rest of the day if you aren't as confident with your makeup-less face!

That is all for today! I really hope you enjoyed this little chatty review, and I'll probably see you next month knowing me! Hope you all have an amazing rest of January! (I just checked, tomorrows the last day of January, isn't it?! whoops...)
