Benefit Cosmetics – Roller Lash Mascara, Watts Up! Highlighter & They’re Real! Push-Up Liner

Although we often champion smaller brands here at The Amazing Blog, and love to discover hidden beauty gems, sometimes we feel it’s only right to rave about the well-known brands that are certainly worth the hype. Here in the office, we have a bit of a penchant for all things Benefit, so when they sent over some of their best loved beauty products, we were positively jumping for joy.

First in our bag of goodies was the Roller Lash Mascara. The brand’s latest release, it has been all the rage here in London, and for good reason. Designed to work as a hair roller would, the cute pink wand is equipped with tiny hooks, which lift and curl the lashes, negating the need for eyelash curlers. As well as looking more wide-eyed, we loved how fluttery and soft it made our lashes look. It’s the perfect addition to a girly make-up look.

As much as we loved the mascara, our favourite product was Benefit’s classic highlighter, Watts Up! We adore a glowing complexion, and find this to be perfect for giving a soft focus shimmer to our visage. Nothing says old Hollywood glamour like a screen siren glow. As strobing is the latest craze, what better product is there to invest in than this. 

Last but not least, Benefit’s They’re Real! Push-Up Liner takes a bit of getting used to, but with a bit of practice, it’s a great tool for creating a feline flick. The thing that impressed us most was just how black it is. There’s nothing worse than ‘black’ eyeliners that are actually slightly grey, or have a bit of a translucent pay off. This liner is jet black as can be, and a perfect consistency for staying put all day long.

You’ll surely benefit from one of these fabulous products. Treat yourself to the Roller Lash Mascara here for £19.50, the Watts Up! Highlighter for £24.50 or the They’re Real! Push-Up Liner for £18.50.

Niyot Lipstick - Striptease

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love styling our summer outfits with on-trend accessories.  We believe that adding a bright pop of colour is a wonderful way to spice up your look. The easiest way to do this is often through make-up, and so we were delighted to receive a beautifully bright Niyot lipstick, the perfect summer accessory.

Launched by London based make-up artist, Toyin Cayoi, Niyot Beauty boasts a wonderful range of products and colours, from nudes to berry hues, with mattes and cream formulas. We were delighted to embrace the brights when they sent over their juicy pink shade, Striptease. Fabulously creamy and hydrating, this Niyot lippy is brilliant for summer wear. It glides on smoothly, and doesn’t catch in the crevices of your lips, an issue that can be hugely noticeable with more neon shades. One of 12 crème lipsticks in the collection, we’re keen to try out some of the more natural shades. In the meantime, however, we are happy to be sporting a hot pink pout.

Sadly, the brand isn’t yet available in British currency, but watch this space, and in the meantime, their site ships internationally. Pick up the Striptease Crème Lipstick for $25 here, and embrace brights this summer. 

Lip Voltage - The Powerhouse

Full lips are certainly one of this year’s biggest make-up trends, that is why we here at The Amazing Blog were delighted to receive The Powerhouse by Lip Voltage. Enhance your lips without the plastic surgery.

This is the world’s first super charged lip plumper which yields to fuller looking lips using three plumping ingredients in one. The product utilises two French and one new Spanish formulation, but also adds extra collagen to give you plumper lips with results that will last throughout the day. As with the majority of lip plumpers, there is a slight tingling sensation for a few minutes, but it is worth the resulting 24 hour prominent pout you will be sporting. The power of the three ingredients gives your lips a gorgeous 3D effect whilst improving the texture of your lips using NG Shea Butter. This lip plumper actually stimulates your lips to produce a pout boosting effect, no pain three times the gain! With daily use this product has collagen building properties, not just an instant effect but a lasting one.

You can purchase this Lip Voltage Lip Enhancer enhancer from The Luxury Beauty Company here for only £25.00. Use daily, apply all over lip area and massage into cupids bow to gain the full benefits of the product.
