My go-to eyeshadows - Benefit Cosmetics

My everyday eyeshadow routine has been pretty much the same for a few months now. The products I have been loving have all been from Benefit Cosmetics and they came in the kits above.

Party to the Peepers 'sheers to you' eye kit is what I start with. It includes three shades of creaseless colour wash (creamy eyeshadows) and a mini They're Real! mascara (which is my fave mascara at the moment too).

One reason I love Benefit kits is that they come with a leaflet of tips and tricks for creating different looks. I always find them real helpful. However, when it's just a normal day and I need to be super quick getting ready for work, I tend to just do my own thing. 

This kit has three shades:

Go Taupeless

Peach Party

Honey Talks

I tend to start with the lightest shade as my base which is Honey Talks. I use this instead of a primer as I find the creamy consistency really good at keeping eyeshadow powder in place and it's easy to apply.

After I have used the creamy shadow as a base, I apply 'call my bluff' which is the white/cream shade in the 'It's a Gal's World!' kit pictured above. Then I go for some 'it's complicated' (the pinky shade - I never ever used pink eyeshadows before I found this one and now I'm hooked). Occasionally, if I want a slightly darker look, I add a bit of the 'thanks a latte' light brown shade in the outer crease.

The packaging of the Benefit kits always catches my eye and I love keeping them on my dressing table with their bright colours (although I am starting to run out of room now!) I also find that even though the mascaras/eyeliners are mini, they still last a good while.

Have you tried any of the Benefit make up kits? Which ones did you like?
