BeneFit are arguably my favourite brand of cosmetics, they are fun, up to date and have funky retro packaging which really stand out on the shelves in my local Boots store and look even better on my dressing table on view to everyone. My latest purchase was Honey Snap Out of It which is a honey and almond scrub for pure exfoliation to keep your skin in tip top condition. It was sold to me by the Cosmetic Assistant on the Benefit counter who said that my skin on my face needed to be exfoliated more than once a week if I wore make-up on a daily basis because I am prone to dry, itchy patches of dry skin around my T-zones and using a simple moisturising cream ...  Read the complete review

I received Benefit's 'HONEY...snap out of it!" exfoliating facial cleanser as a Christmas gift, and having cracked it open a couple of months ago I am very happy with the results. The packaging is classic, lovely, Benefit retro style, and the contents are fairly substantial at 150ml/ 5.0 US fl oz. The top is a twist cap which is convenient as water does not get trapped in it as with a flip cap, dumping cold water on you the next time you flip it open. This honey scrub is described on the packaging as an "a.m. cleansing scrub" so I have been using it on mornings only, 2-3 times a week (sometimes more although the packaging instructs 2-3) and it ...  Read the complete review

Benefit are known for selling unusual but brilliant cosmetics. I have heard people rave about them for years but had never actually tried any of the products myself until last week when I went on a Benefit spree in Boots. First and foremost - this product costs the same whichever store concession you purchase if from, so if you have an ounce of sense buy it from Boots for the points. Which brings me onto buying it. It costs £18.50 or thereabouts (the VAT reductions have left me a bit confused with actual prices!) for a 150ml tube and Fenwick, Debenhams and Boots all stock Benefit. John Lewis, I was shocked to discover, does not. What disappoints ...  Read the complete review

I received a little sample pot of this when I bought a bottle of Benetint at the Covent Garden Benefit store, and I have been using this scrub for a couple of weeks, every other day when I wash my face in the shower. I spread a small amount over my fingertips and then massage it all over my face, then leave it on like the sales assistant advised for a few minutes whilst I rinse and re-shampoo my hair. It is a sweet-smelling pale-coloured paste with grainy bits which I assume to be the almonds ground up. These exfoliate whilst the honey in the scrub moisturises. When I rinse it off my face feels extremely soft. I am delighted to find another product from ...  Read the complete review

This scrub is directed to be used in the morning time about two to three times a week. It is a facial wash but can be used as a mask also if left on for three minutes. I have been a big fan of benefit both make up and skincare and after running out of my usual neutrogena face wash I decided to see what this benefit product could do for me. The packaging as with all benefit products is really clever. It was in a neutral coloured box with the name ''honey snap out of it'' which obviously matches the bottle itself. The scrub itself is really refreshing and I love the fact that it can also be used as a face mask. My face feels really ...  Read the complete review
