Benefit’s
Trail Size Sets
Recently during a rummage thought my sisters cosmetics I
convinced her to gift me two fabulous Benefit sets, one from the skin care
range and one from the makeup range. Traditionally I would not be drawn to
Benefit but I have to admit since I began using these sets my opinion has changed
from somewhat indifferent to being very positive.
First off,
I have been
using Benefit Porefect Radiance Gift Set.
This set contains;
·
The Porefessional (7.5 ml or 0.25 fl.oz)
– This balm is designed to minimise the appearance of pores; fine lines and
leave your skin feeling super soft and pampered.
I did like this balm and it did leave my skin
soft. I am glad to say I don’t have many noticeable pores so if it does reduces
the appearance of fine lines and pores all I can say is I hope it worked on me.
·
It’s
Potent – Eye Cream (30g net weight) – this eye cream claims to
work wonders on the delicate skin around the eye area. It aims to fade dark
circles and smooth fine lines so you are left with younger looking eyes. I have
to say I liked this eye cream so much so I have it all used up. I used it
mainly at night after my cleansing routine. I had not been using an eye cream
at all before so I have noticed brightness around my eye area. I would definitely
consider repurchasing this product in a larger size.
·
Triple Performance
Facial Emulsion (8.9ml or 0.3 fl oz) – Such a cute little
bottle! This emulsion has SPF 15 and claims to hydrate, protect and comfort the
skin. It is oil free and light weight. I used this lotion at night and I liked
it. Again I don’t feel there is enough provided in this set to help you form a definite
opinion but I did like it while I used it and my skin was bright and hydrated.
Over all I did enjoy using this set. My favourite item was the
eye cream. I liked how all 3 products had a very delicate yet creamy texture and
had no smell. I would recommend purchasing a set like this to try the products
before purchasing a larger size.
The Second Benefit Set was from the makeup range, in particular
the Illuminating Collection - Finding Mr Bright.
The set contains;
1.
Girl
Meets Pearl – this little potion claims to provide “an all
over glow from within”. It’s a really light pinky gold consistency. You are
advised to wear it on top of your make up or with no makeup at all. It did give
a nice gleam which was subtle, though I think that may be due to me being
rather sparing with the application. It is nice and the little tube will do me
ages.
2.
Posietint – This
is a really nice liquid blush. 2 or 3 drops rubbed into the apple of your
cheeks is really nice and delicate. I advise to wear with natural look make up
for a really fresh faced look. Again I would be very sparing with the application
in attempt to try to avoid the clown look so this little bottle will last you a
while.
3.
High Beam – This is
my favourite element of this set. It is a perfect high lighter for the face
that can be worn all over face from cheek bones to eyebrows. I intend on
repurchasing this product in a full size version I liked it that much.
4.
Erase Paste –
described as an “industrial strength concealer” this product hopes to erase all
imperfections, flaws and blemishes. Nice as it is, personally I prefer my
regular concealer as I am sure of the shade as I found this one to have a
slightly pink tone to it. For those who like a general concealer this is good
and it defiantly covers and last.
I am really glad that I tried this set. I liked
it a lot, as mentioned my favourite product being the high beam high lighter.
Again I would recommend this set to anyone who is curious to try the products
as you are given ample opportunity to try each one in this set as you are given
a generous sample of each.

Since I have been using these sets I was
intrigued to what other skin care or makeup sets Benefit has to offer. I was
nicely surprised to find that they have quite a few to choose from. A favourite
beauty emporium website feelunique have a great variety.
Also have a look at the BENEFIT website
