Benefit provide consumers with quirky products at high-end prices. Can you really justify the high prices in comparison with the results they provide? *Overview I am a huge fan of the smoky eyes look but I always found that I was having to pick an eye-shadow from various different ranges, a highlighter from another and an eyebrow pencil from yet another. So you can imagine that I was pretty excited when I was informed that Benefit had developed "sexy eye & brow makeover kit" which could provide me with all of these in one handy little compact.

I'm not one of those girls that wears make up every day. Truth be told, I just can't be bothered in the morning. I do like to get glammed up for a night out though. This eye set was my first foray into the make up world of 'counters' Previously I'd stuck to goof old rimmel, with a bit of Max Factor thrown in for good measure. I purchase the set from House of Fraser after reading some fantastic reviews online and receiving vouchers for the store. It did cost me a pretty penny at an eye watering £28.50 (or at least it made my eyes water!!) but there are a lot of components contained in the packer for your money. And there were step by step instructions, so for ...  Read the complete review

I bought myself one of these Benefit Smokin' Eye kits a couple of years ago as a bit of a treat. I tend to find myself wondering towards the Benefit counter whenever I have been working especially hard as I find their products irresistible. I've never actually used one of their sets before but thought I'd give it a try and see what I was missing. This kit is designed to achieve the perfect smoky eye.

That said, I pretty much always wear eye liner and mascara and sometimes on a night out you just want something a little bit more high impact. This seemed like a great ...  Read the complete review

** Benefit Smokin Eyes ** Benefit Smokin Eyes is a funky little eye make-up compact containing everything you need to create sultry, smoky eyes. It is available at Boots, and department stores such as Debenhams and John Lewis, as well as online. It retails at the rather extortionate price of £27.50 (although shops online often knock a fiver off of that if you're willing to have a little search around).

This is the second of these kits that I have brought now and I am addicted to the Smokin' Hot look it gives! I am, by no means, an expert in applying make up but even I can achieve a cool look. The kit comes in a sturdy box with a sliding cardboard cover. The inside lid has a mirror to help you apply the make up on the go. It also contains three eyeshadows in deep charcoal, pewter and soft pink. There is brown brow shaping wax and pink eye brightening cream. With the pack comes a black eye liner, a brush with soft and hard ends, and a pair of brow tweezers. It also comes with a handy lesson book which tells you how to perfectly apply each element of the make ...  Read the complete review
