Benefit Haul

Hey guys, I bought some things from benefit just before christmas and have had this post in my drafts for a long time I've just been to tired to blog recently and I wasn't going to force myself to do it. I bought two box blushes and sun beam. I can thoroughly review these now to as i've had them so long. 


Here was the christmas packaging that they boxed the things up in. 



Sun beam, I'm still not sure if this product works for me as I'm so pale but it is a lovely product and looks great with the Dallas blush I bought. The woman who worked at the benefit counter tried these on me and although it looked strange and she put way to much on, (she only put these products on my face when I had no other makeup on) I did like these the best in comparison to when she paired high beam and Hervana on the other side of my face (It was a weird experience). 


I bought Dallas as I felt it worked as both a blush and a bronzer as it is a bronzy mauve type colour (hard to explain). I haven't used it that much as I've been using Hervana more as it is more of a spring colour. I am addicted to the smell of these blushes. They smell so good, in a musky powdery way which I suppose is apt seeing as they are powders. 


Hervana is probably now my favourite product that I picked up. I have been getting into blush recently and this is a perfect shade for spring. I also like the way that it is made up of four different colours so you could customise your colour.

Weird things strangers say about my hair...

Hey guys,

I know I haven't posted in the longest time and I think in my last post I said I was going to be more consistent. This didn't work out as I have recently been struggling to be motivated to do anything. I'm finally on top of this and wanted to have a fun, sort of semi rant type post. I've never really blogged about my personal life before so here goes.

Ok, here goes. Since having dyed my hair turquoise strangers often have the urge to point this out to me, the most annoying being pointed at by people that just say "Your hair!". To be honest I just find this rude mainly due to the pointing it's like being made a spectacle of. You do also get the really cute small children pointing at you as well as they say "look mummy, she has green hair" which I just find sweet as they are innocent, unlike when adults do this.

The creepy incidents however are the ones that bother me. Lots of guys, see my hair as a talking point and have tried to hit on me because of it. Like today for incidence. I'm walking home with my shopping, probably red faced with no makeup on. When suddenly a guy out of nowhere approaches me exclaiming "I love your hair" me being one of the most socially awkward people, says "Thanks" which sounds strange and awkward anyway but is made even more embarrassing due to the fact I have a slight lisp. I then think to long about these things which leads to me writing them down.

The worst experience however was when I was again walking home with my shopping. A man maybe 10 years older then me wearing, looking pretty chavy approaches with the "oh wow your hair" speech. Then proceeds to follow me as I walk home asking if I have a boyfriend. Which I said in the hopes of making him leave me alone although I am single. Then asking if I wanted another one. Creepy right? Luckily he was only going to a bus stop and did not stalk me the whole way home. But If any guy is reading this don't do this it just comes of as creepy and makes me feel unsafe.

Anyway rant over. The majority of things people say about your hair if you do dye your own hair is very complimentary. But be warned you do get the couple weird experiences. It seems girls carrying home shopping is a massive turn on for some reason :)

Thanks for reading I plan to definitely get back into blogging soon.
