Benefit: The Real Steal

I went to Sephora three days ago because I wanted to buy the lash amplifier but I ended up on buying also this set from Benefit. I'm so happy I finally own it because I've heard good things about it and I've been raving for it for the longest time.

I'm talking about Benefit's "They're Real" mascara. At first I was really hesitant on buying it but when the saleslady tried it on me, I immediately changed my mind.

Benefit "The Real Steal" set

price: 26.90 euro at Sephora

The set contains: "They're Real" mascara (full size), "They're Real" remover, (sample size) "They're Real" push-.up liner (travel size) 

"They're Real" mascara

The greatest mascara I've ever tried so far because it really does a great job on lengthening, volumizing and curling my eyelashes. I don't even need to use an eyelash curler. It's longwear and waterproof.

The tip of the wand is made for curling and separating the lashes while the rest is for lenght, volume and lift.

"They're Real" push-up liner

Along with the mascara, I've also got the "They're Real" push-up liner. It's so cute because it's a travel size one and I think it's great to start with a small one since I'm not familiar with this type of eyeliner: infact it's a gel eyeliner in a pen form! You have to twist the base once to "push up" the gel liner to the tip.

The tip of the liner makes the application much easier and smooth as it "hugs" the lashes in order to have a precise application. It is also gentle to use on the upper lashes to tightline. It's smudgeproof, waterproof and longwearing.

My everyday makeup

I want to share to you how I do my everyday makeup which I mainly wear when I go to the Uni.

The products that I use:

- RoC Complete Lift daily moisturizer

- Essence "Stay all day" foundation in 10 Soft Beige

- Garnier BBcream in Light/Clair

- L'Oréal Cover Expert concealer quad.

- Avon Colortrend pressed powder in Translucent Tan

- Essence brow pencil in Dark Brown

- BH Cosmetics 28 Color palette neutral eyeshadow

- Kiko "definition eyeliner" in Black

- Catrice "All around" mascara in Ultra Black

- Sephora eye pencil in White

- Avon face pearls

I prepare my face by moisturizing it then I mix the foundation and the bbcream and apply it on my face using a wet triangular sponge. I conceal my dark circles, acne scars and blemishes with the concealer and I seal all by applying a translucent powder with a face brush.

I fill in my brows with small strokes by using the dark brown brow pencil following their natural shape. Then I procede to the eye makeup.

With a fluffy eyeshadow brush, I apply a wash of brown color (number 1) on my crease area. This will act as the transition color. Then I place a lighter brown (number 2) over the dark brown just on the border for a gradient effect. I apply a beige color (number 3) on the eyelid area and on the brow bone blending it to the other colors that I applied before. And lastly, I apply a black eyeshadow (number 4) with a pencil brush concentrating it on the crease just to give my eyes some depth. I also apply the dark brown eyeshadow on my lower lashline.

I line just the upper part of my eye with a liquid eyeliner trying to stay as closest to my lashline then I curl my lashes and apply a black mascara. I line my waterline with a white pencil just to open my eyes.

I use the dark brown eyeshadow to contour my face and the face pearls to give some glow to my skin.

I use lipbalms instead of lipstick. I'm not a fan of lipsticks xD but if I have to, I use baby pink color lipsticks.
