Product Review - Benefit Lee Lee's Beauty Secrets Set

Ever since I purchased Benefit Lee Lee's Beauty Secrets set I felt I had to review the items bought as I can't praise Benefit highly enough.

The item that drew me into buying the set in the first place was the Benefit They're Beyond Real! Mascara. I had read many people praising the product due the length that the mascara gives the eyelashes, instead of looking like creepy spiders legs.

(I apologise for the quality as I don't own a swanky camera)

The set includes the full sized mascara, not the miniature ones as some others do. 
My lashes are naturally rather dark so I really look for a mascara that can give my lashes length and it's safe to say that this mascara does that. It's easy to see which this is such a popular product and probably one of the best ones on the market as I feel, with my eyes, the volume makes my eyes appear more awake and the overall look is rather flattering.
If you teamed this product with some individual lashes and a highly contoured face, you could easily replicate the vastly sought after make up look sported by Kim Kardashian.
I do however feel that the individual price of the product is rather high (£19.50) and while I do feel it is a must have to a least try, if you're on a budget look around and see if you can purchase it in a set or maybe ask someone to buy if for you as a gift for a birthday or Christmas etc.
A good dupe of this product is the Maybelline Falsies Mascara if you still feel you cannot splurge on a mascara - it gives volume and length but I feel does not have the lasting power compared to Benefit's.

Another reason I felt this set was a must have purchase was the POREfessional primer (miniature version) that was included. Along with the mascara this is also a product that I had been wanting to try for quite some time.

I have a combination skin type so while my cheeks are normal, my t-zone and my forehead can become oily though out the day so I feel a primer is pretty much a necessity when wearing foundation. (especially a liquid one)

Another factor that does not help is that I am also a glasses wearer, hello all my fellow four eyes, which means oils can easily build up on the bridge of my nose.
I have been applying the primer to t-zone and my forehead for a while now and have found the mattifying affect whilst applying brilliant, it does not clog your pores yet leaves your skin smooth to touch. This product is perfect if you have a long day ahead, or an eventful evening, meaning you want your make up to stay put for just that bit longer without looking like someone from The House of Wax.

I was surprised about how well the next product looked on my skin - the Benefit That Gal Primer.

As you can see by the picture it claims to brighten the face and it well and truly does, so much so that on a good skin day I have worn the product by itself on my skin to perk it up a bit. However, although the primer does help my make up stay put and brings some luminosity to my skin, I feel that some foundations do the exact same job but with a smaller price tag. I would recommend this product but I will only maybe use it in winter just to help keep my face from looking dull in the harsher weather conditions.

Lastly is the laugh with me LeeLee eau de toilette.

Completely forgot to take a picture of the perfume before blogging, well done Vicky.

I find that perfume is very personal to each individual with people liking very different scents. I went out on a whim when ordering in the set and hoped that I would like the perfume. It is described as having a "woody floral, light blend of citrus, jasmine and lily blossoms" (I have no idea what any of that means) but I really like this perfume! The scent of it is citrusy and fresh so it is perfect for either day or night and I have found it has become one of my staple must have perfumes. Mmm.

I hope I have even slightly helped anyone considering buying any of these items or the set itself, let me know if I have and thank you very much for reading!  ♥
