Benefit Bad Gal Liner

Hello loves.

I'm back from holidays! Well, not really I still have a week off before going back to work but I'm back to blogging. I hope you all had a lovely holiday and a happy new year!

I was gifted this Bad Gal liner from a co-worker before we left and have been using it for about a month now.

At first, I couldn't figure out how to get it out, on the bottom of the pencil turns so I thought it turned up and spent an embarrassingly long amount of time trying to make it work before finally asking my co-worker how to do it. Turns out, you just sharpen it. I have to say poor packaging on Benefit's part. I wish this was in black as thats what I usually use to tight line but the grey is dark enough that you can't tell the difference when using it to tight line. Benefit states this is waterproof and guys, I hate to admit it but I cry a lot and this doesn't stand a chance if tears strike. I don't think this is a product I would have gone out of my way to purchase as there are incredibly affordable drug store liners that do the same thing if not better for a fraction of the price. 

What's your favourite Benefit product?

It's the end of the month and that means blogs are going to be flooded with the latest and greatest. My products are not so much on the new end but they were my most used of the month.

First is the Color Shield collection from Garnier Fructis. I dyed my hair just for the occasion! These products are fantastic. Remember those first couple of showers after dying your hair and watching as the color runs through the water, the Garnier Fructis Shampoo and Conditioner locks in your color I haven't noticed any run of color in my showers. Couldn't be more happy with these products, the spray bottle is a heat protectant and shine spray meant for colored hair and it does a good job of keeping your hair smooth and not brittle.

Second is Batiste - Dry Shampoo, I know this stuff has been around for ages however I've only recently decided to give it a shot, this is my third bottle in about a month and a half this one was on sale for $5.99! I have the unfortunate gift of incredibly greasy hair and it's horrible having to wash it everyday especially for the natural oils in your hair so with this I end up needing to only shower about three times a week. Thank you Batiste.

The Benefit "Bronze of Champions" kit mostly the Hoola bronzer and the Watt's up highlighter. Watt's Up has been used just about everyday the past month and is still being used daily, gives the face a beautiful champagne shimmer and the bronzer is well a cult favorite among many. For my pale skin its about the only thing that doesn't make it look like I rubbed my face in dirt.

Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation. Great for summer as it's not heavy but provides decent coverage and if required is buildable. Did I mention it smells super fruity?! I love love love this foundation my favorite drugstore foundation to date.

The Maybelline master precise liquid eyeliner. The easiest eyeliner you will ever use. Honestly go out right now and buy it. I've been using this eyeliner for over five years and I have not strayed it's that great. If you have trouble with liquid eyeliner don't be afraid this will solve all your troubles.

The last two are fashion items, the first is a gold multi chain necklace from Dynamite. I do not buy real jewelery, frankly I can't keep a necklace from breaking to save my life so this luckily was only $8.00! It goes with EVERYTHING, it's the perfect statement necklace. Lastly, are the Sleeping Beauty leggings from the Princess and Villain Collection from Blackmilk. I am the biggest Disney fan and these are everything and more I could ask from a legging. Actually I've been on quite a Blackmilk binge lately. Anyone out there who lives in leggings like I do? Check out Blackmilk!

This little product is a cult favorite among MANY bloggers as you all know. It’s a great bronzer for fair skinned gals such as myself as most tend to make me look I rolled my face in dirt or mud, not flattering.  I love that this is a matte bronzer as it creates much more natural finish then a shimmer would and it blends beautifully! The packaging is super cute and comes with a handy little mirror and a brush, I don’t use the brush as I have other brushes I prefer to apply this with and the one this comes with isn’t of the best quality. This is on the pricey side but if you’re like me and don’t use bronzer very often it should last you a lifetime!
