Benefit Realness of Concealness

As anyone who's been reading my reviews by now will know, I got the Realness of Concealness set for Christmas this year. As I've written detailed reviews, of all but one of the products contained in it, I'm not going to go into too much detail here, at the risk of being repetitive. The Realness of Concealness, is a set by Benefit that shows off their quirky side in both the name and the packaging. It comes in a quite sturdy cardboard box that is brown with polka dot swirls all over it and the product name on the top. Open up the little flip top and you are greeted by a pink background with brown polka dots on, and a cute little round mirror. On the right are ...  Read the complete review

Despite the fact that I am a great fan of Benefit cosmetics, I'm not unwilling to admit that their products can very hit or miss. Once past the cute packaging and quirky descriptions, the product inside can sometimes be no better than many of the cheaper alternatives available on the Highstreet. So, what's a better way to find out than to purchase one of their adorable, travel friendly, miniture sized 'sample' kits? I bought 'Realness of Concealness' for £22.50 in Debenhams and although this may seem expensive for such small items, once divided by five (the amount of products inside) it works out as a great deal in my opinion. Already an avid user of ...  Read the complete review

If you have read my review on Benefit's Justine Case, you will already know about my love of all things cute and little and Benefit, so it will come as no surprise that I also have a "Realness of Concealness" kit in my handbag. This kit is basically a little box of tricks to perk up your complexion - perfect for late nights or early mornings (or even more so early mornings following late nights) and is the perfect little size to pop in your party bag. The kit includes 5 fab products from those lovely people at Benefit. The first product is High Beam - now this is one of my favourite Benefit products, and I have already written a ...  Read the complete review

Realness of Concealness is Benefit's miniature 'concealing and highlighting kit'. I got it for my birthday and I have to say, despite one or two minor complaints, I love it. It contains five different products - Ooh La Lift, Lip Plump, High Beam, Lemon-Aid and Boi-ing O2 - and each of them has properties and functions that will, supposedly (!), make you beautiful! -Ooh La Lift- This is an under-eye cream that has extracts of raspberry and chamomile to help de-puff the under-eye area. You dab a couple of drops on and blend in. I'm not sure weather it does de-puff the under-eye area (to be completely honest, I'm not even sure what 'de-puffed' even ...  Read the complete review

This is probably the most useful Christmas present I have ever been given. It has all I need for quick touch ups throughout the day, meaning I can just pop it in my bag and go. The sizes of each product are ideal and give you a really good idea of whether or not it is worth you buying a full sized version of the products BEFORE you shell out £15-20 on them. The packaging is really very cute and the mirror is a good size, meaning you don't have to carry a compact around with you. The first product included is Lemon Aid, which is applied to eyes to help reduce redness. I found that this is really good when you haven't got enough sleep ...  Read the complete review
