ELLE Magazines' World Exclusive with Benefit! Free Gift!

Hey Beauties,

 

It's been a good month for freebies and magazines this month, I'm pleased!

 

When I saw this collaboration I had to purchase it, especially as the product isn't even available to buy until Boxing Day!

 

So, the December 2015 issue of ELLE Magazine (with the stunning Alexa Chung on the front cover in a rather spring time looking dress) came with the new Benefit They're Real Tinted Primer! WOW! I know, right!?

And it is pretty darn good, I'm thinking of buying a whole heap of ELLE Magazines' just to stock up on the Benefit Tinted Mascara Primer. Compared to what the mascara is going to cost I think £4.10 for a magazine (multiplied by however many you grab extra) is actually a pretty good deal - especially as the product itself doesn't come out until Boxing Day! BOXING DAY! That's the 26th December, why - oh - why tease us like this Benefit... :)

 

This is why ELLE think you should pick up the December copy whilst you still can "It does the separating, lengthening and boosting job you'd expect form a lash primer, to the point that any of your favourite mascaras worn over the top will almost look fake.

It is also mink coloured, so you can wear it alone on a makeup down day for a very natural look. Plus the fact that there is no glaring white base under your mascara makes us wonder why all primers aren't tinted brown.
It's the beauty product you didn't know you needed. But trust us, you really do".

The sample/mini is pretty generous, much like all Benefit sample/mini products (which is very much appreciated - thank you). The wand is the same as the They're Real Mascara wands; straight shaft and spherical at the tip. The wand itself is great for giving natural looking volume and length, it's also rather flexible which is another great plus.

I used this product alone for a few days now, the formula is amazing and it looks really nice and natural on, it had a brown tint so it also gives slight definition if you wear it alone. I have yet to use it with a mascara on top although (and of course) Benefit really recommend you use this with the corresponding mascara 'They're Real'. I've seen the promo photo's and it does seem like it can only be a good thing... no, a great thing!

 

Grab yourself an ELLE Magazine, it's full of fashion, beauty, make up, hair, health, basically 346 pages of gorgeousness. If that's not your thing but the Benefit tinted mascara primer is - then heck - just buy it for that and donate the magazine to your local doctors/dentists so they can have it available for their patients in the waiting room :)

Let me know what you think,
And let me know if you like these sort of Magazine & Beauty products posts :)

 

Speak to you soon,

 

Have Fun, Be Good.
