Benefit 'Dew The Hoola' Magazine Freebie + Review

Hey beaut's!

Benefit have been at it again... Yup theres another freebie up for grabs and this time it's in the shape of the ever so popular 'Dew The Hoola' liquid bronzer, so make sure you grab yourself a copy of the September issue of Elle Magazine! I've actually been using my sample of Dew The Hoola for a little while now so I thought I'd do a cheeky review for you all today and let you know my thoughts. 

Benefit's Dew The Hoola is a soft matte liquid-come gel bronzer, that promises to give us a year-round glow, without the gleam. I literally couldn't wait to give this a go because liquid bronzers are quite hard to come by and personally I had never tried one before so I had no idea what to expect. What I really love about Dew The Hoola and what I quickly found out whilst experimenting with it is that you can wear it in a few different ways, firstly it can be added in with your foundation to add a more bronzed effect (think bronzed goddess) or you can just use it as your bronzer and blend it in with a makeup brush everywhere the sun would natural hit and tan your face, you can even use it for a subtle contour too because of the finish being matte!

The formula of Dew The Hoola is gorgeous and so easy to apply, it blends into the skin effortlessly without any caking or patchiness and can be built up easily until your satisfied with the amount of glow you've got going on he he. The finish is soft, matte and oh so natural, theres zero glitters or shimmers with this so it's as natural as bronzers come, and it's so lightweight, I literally don't even feel like I'm wearing it once it's on, it's lush. The shade of Dew The Hoola is quite warm, it does look slightly orange when first pumped onto the back of my hand but trust me once it's been blended into the skin it just gives a gorgeous, natural bronzed glow/flush to the skin!

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

The beauty blogging world went crazy a few weeks ago when the March edition of Elle Magazine hit the shelves, but what made this edition so special?? Well Benefit gave us the Elle readers a chance to road test their brand new mascara 'Roller Lash' before it had even hit the shelves so you can imagine the buzz surrounding this issue of Elle. Of course as soon as the March edition was released I had to buy it asap because I NEEDED to try the Roller Lash mascara and after using the mascara for a couple of weeks I thought it was about time I shared my thoughts on it!

The Benefit Roller Lash Mascara is 100% inspired by curling hair with hair rollers, ooohhh! Yup, you can ditch the eyelash curlers girls as this mascara is all about achieving that all-important eye opening curl, so if your anything like me and you have small eyes and use mascara to really lift your lashes and open your eyes up more making them look bigger then this mascara will be for you, my goodness it's a good'un!

 So the magic starts with the plastic Hook ‘n’ Roll brush which grabs, separates, lifts and curls those lashes, I'm never usually a fan of the plastic brushes, I cant tell you the amount of times I stabbed my eyes with Benefits They're Real Mascara brush as that was a very hard and sharp brush however... The Roller Lash brush is smaller and a much softer plastic and really allows you to wriggle at the root of your lashes without any eye poking incidents, it's shape also helps you to get right into the corners of your lashes at the inner and outer corner and is much better for those with smaller eyes like myself. Roller Lash also has an amazing Inky Black, instant curve-setting formula that holds those curls in place for 12 hours, the formula also contains Pro vitamin B5 and Serin, which are ingredients known for their lash-conditioning benefits and has a satin finish.

Ive really been enjoying this mascara and it really does deserve the hype and love it's been getting over the past few weeks, the mascara really does open up my eyes by lengthening, separating and curling my lashes upwards, it's doesn't smudge, flake or transfer and the brush really is easy to work with. In my opinion Roller Lash is an absolute hit and I will be purchasing the full size version because it ticks all the boxes for me and more.

Did you try Roller Lash freebie in Elle Magazine beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know.
