What's the Benefit?

Each month, Ipsy gives discount codes for the brands they feature in their bags.  In July, one of the codes was for a free beauty trio with any online purchase from Benefit.  This set included sample sizes of High Beam, BADgal Lash Mascara, and the Refined Finish Facial Polish.  This set normally sells for $10 and includes a plastic makeup bag.  http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/hello-gorgeous

I haven’t tried a lot from Benefit but all I hear are great things so I was really interested in getting this set.  The great thing was that I didn’t have to buy anything else from the website!  I was able to get the set for free just by paying the shipping price of $5.95!  Here’s a quick review of what I thought of all of the products.

Refined Finish Facial Polish; deluxe mini $6?, full size $23 – This is a facial scrub that is meant to brighten your complexion and minimize the appearance of pores.  I can’t say that I really noticed either of these results, but it did leave my face very soft.  I think I need to try it out for a few more days before I can give you an accurate review. http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/refined-finish-facial-polish

High Beam; deluxe mini $8.00, full size $26 – This is liquid highlighter.  I used it under my eyes and I definitely think it works!  It’s very similar to the highlighter I got in my August Ipsy bag so I’ve been alternating between the two.  The only bad thing about this is the packaging.  The makeup itself is not watery at all but the applicator is a little brush so I don’t think I’ll be able to use/get to all of the product in the tube. http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/search?q=high+beam

BADgal Lash Mascara; deluxe mini $10.00, full size $19 – I was very happy with this mascara.  It doesn’t clump easily and gives a lot of volume.  I wish it lengthened a little more, but I’ve been using it as a primer for my regular mascara which seems to be working really well! http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/search?q=badgal+lash+mascara

The normal price of Benefit’s deluxe samples is usually anywhere from $6 to $10.  If you’re looking for a specific one, but can’t find it on the product page try searching for it by the name of the product.  They’re not always listed in the same category with the rest of the makeup.

I’m sure you can do the math and realize that spending $5.95 for the deluxe samples of these 3 products was a great deal.  Trying these for less than $2 a piece is much better than paying the full price (or even the normal price of the deluxe sample) and realizing that it wasn’t for me!
