Fake Benefit number 2

So this is following on from my blog post that I made last week. This is another fake product I got conned into due to the price.
This is Benefit's lemon aid eyelid primer, you can also use it as a normal concealer. I think this product has been discontinued also. But anywhere here's the low down!

Admittedly I was very convinced by the packaging but it's good, so who wouldn't be? After doing some research online I come to realise mine was a fake. 

The product code is apparently on the wrong side of the box.

The consistency of the product- now I didn't think it was terrible but for something that is on the higher end of the scale I was expecting better results and it not being so hard to work with.

This isn't the best photo but there is no capital L for London and there is no space between the post code. Another give away for me was the fact that on the box with the ingredients list it said "Shea better" now I always thought it was shea butter! So yeah this made me totally convinced that this is a fake benefit product.


As I said in my last post I won't try and search for these deals on Ebay again. I'm a big lover of Ebay and this hasn't put me off the site but I think people need to be careful with what they buy on there, especially these fake products as you can't really guarantee what is actually in them! I have done these blog posts so others can see :)

Bourjois Highlighting Powder - Poudre Illuminatrice

Product review time!


I heard so much about the Bourjois chocolate style products and being a white chocolate loveruvauva I thought I would try the Highlighting powder. Also, not owning a highlighter I thought this would be a good purchase. I bought mine off Ebay for about £6.


Upon receiving it I was so excited to smell it and see if it does really smell like white chocolate! All I can say to everyone who has said this is- what white chocolate have you been smelling? To me this smells nothing like chocolate- just very powdery! So this was a major disappointment to me.


There is a lot of product for your money, so in this respect it is a really good purchase. To highlight I would just put my finger in and apply to areas such as my cheeks. I found with a brush I didn't see any highlight to my face. When you swatch with your finger you get quite a good amount of product but for some reason it doesn't transfer to your face.


I don't want to write a bad review but I was a little disappointed with this product. As I said for the money you can't complain at how much product you get but if you want a strong visible highlighter then this isn't really the one for you. But if you want a subtle highlighter then I would say this would be a good product!
