Hello everybody! I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones, and you received everything you wished for...oh and don't forget eaten a sinful amount of food! I haven't blogged in a week or two because I've been a busy bee with the run up to Christmas and ridiculous amounts of uni work- but I'm back and determined to give you all the best beauty experience and introduce you to the newest additions to my fast-growing beauty collection!
The 'How to look the best at everything' set has the cutest packaged set of miniature Benefit products and it's perfect to slip into your bag for a day out- what a fab way to test a handful of products for £25!
1) the POREfessional
I have never really used a primer or balm before applying my makeup and being quite speedy when putting makeup on in the mornings, a primer doesn't fit into my routine, but after trying this product i think squeezing it in can only be beneficial for the quality of my look. I was put off using primers and balms after using one a while ago and it made my skin so oily and gave me that 'cakey' appearance, not a good look in the summer or a night out. But Benefits POREfessional balm is so light and leaves my skin feeling very soft; a tiny weeeeeny bit can go a long way and instantly minimises the appearance of pores and skin imperfections. After applying foundation my skin felt silky smooth it was like it had been crafted by angels… not bad ay!
2) Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow
It's light, it's flawless, it's fabulous- i love it. It gives me light coverage which, trust me, is hard to find. I swear most brands assume that us consumers want strong, heavy coverage to cover up those almost unnoticeable skin imperfections but i can't stand caking on the foundation, simply brushing past your face and leaving a massive foundation stain- not pretty girls! Since my skin has been spot free i need light coverage that gives me an even, flawless skin tone, and this product delivers that beautifully. As it insists in its ingenious title, it literally breathes life into your skin- flawless but natural beauty!
3) BOI-ING
Similar to Oxygen Wow, Benefits famous under eye concealer delivers just as fabulously. It's quite light which doesn't really help when I naturally have under eye circles, but unlike other concealers, it's LONG-LASTING. Also, like not many other under eye concealers, it provides two shades to blend and create a natural finish, technologically genius if you ask me! Perfect for long days out when mirrors may be scarce, you know you'll always be covered. The miniature sample can be removed and placed in handbags in case of emergencies or when your face needs a 'boing'!
4) Hello Flawless powder
I'm a big big fan of powders, especially around the t-zone when oil likes to make an appearance. But this powder is the perfect finish to create a flawless complexion- simply sweep over areas that need a little extra coverage and BAM… Hello flawless! Also, the tiny weeny brush is so adorable, I'm such a typical girl when it comes to cute, miniature things.
This set has to be my favourite Christmas buy, you get so much for a little price. Even better, being inexperienced when it comes to using Benefit products, the set comes with a little 'Tip and Tricks' fold out booklet with tips on how to apply the products to achieve instant beauty- LOVE LOVE LOVE.

bareMinerals Brush With Splendor: 4-piece mini brush collection with travel bag
My second new addition to my miniature bag beauties is from bareMinerals. I of course was drawn to the product because of how cutely small it was- another one of my girly obsessions- and how handy it is when making my makeup routine a little less of a chore. The kit provides all the gear needed to apply your war paint ready for the day and I'm not going to lie i have taken it out my bag a couple of times just so people can see how adorable it is (just between me and you). However, not only are they so handy to carry around when a little top up is needed, but the quality of the brushes are even better. I hate it when I'm sweeping on my powder and then look in the mirror to find hair all over my face- one of my pet hates if I'm honest, but i haven't had that problem since switching to these brushes. They are silky smooth and soft, a luxurious treat for my skin. Cute and a worthy buy!
The 4-piece mini brush collection contains:
1) Mini flawless coverage face brush: for medium to sheer coverage
2) Mini soft sweep cheek brush: lightly blends and contours
3) Mini tapered blending brush: lightly applies eye colour, blends and corrects mistakes
4) Mini flat edged liner brush: designed to follow the curvature of your eyes, for precise, one stroke application
5) Travel brush bag: a sleek, silver case bag to protect your brushes- bang on trend!
