Brilliant Benefit Jetset Review

Hello lovelies!

Long time no see and I apologise for that but I was snowed over with exam work and then Christmas happened and everything got busy.

But now whilst munching on my Christmas chocolates I thought I'd tell you about the new Benefit She's so Jetset kit I got as a present for Christmas.

I quite like this little box of stuff. I contains all the essentials for a half dressy half casual day look which can always be vamped up for a more glam look.
It also comes with a set of instructions for a nice smokey brown eye which I found really easy to follow and quick apply.

Here's what you get in the box:

• 4 shade eyeshadow palette
• Mini POREfessional, 7.5 mL, 0.24 US fl. oz
• Mini 'They’re real!' mascara, 4.0 g Net wt. 0.14 oz
• Face powder/highlighter with brush
• lip gloss in 'Life on the A list', 5.2 mL, 0.18 US fl. oz
• double-ended eye-shadow applicator

First up is the 'they're Real!' mascara. A nice little mini bottle very handy for travelling with and I did manage to produce some very long lashes with this product.

The kit comes with a primer to prep your face for make-up and this one, 'POREfessional', is a beaut. Although not as good as the l'ORÉAL Studio Secrets Professional primer in terms of pore coverage the Benefit primer is less heavy duty and smells wonderful!

The four shadows that come with the kit are nice and blendable to get a lovely brown and natural smokey eye for the daytime look.

 (Excuse the wrinkled and dry hand it's the Winter and moisturising is not my strong suit!)

I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of lip glosses because I find them awfully sticky and my hair has a tendency to attach itself to my lips every time I wear some. But I do like this lippy primarily because of its amazing watermelon smell which is divine! It's a cute mini size which makes it perfect to pop in your bag on a night out.

Over all I have to say I'm a fan of this kit and it makes for a great last minute late Christmas present if you've managed to forget about anyone!

So that's it from me. Sorry about abandoning this blog for a while but I'm back and ready to go. Hope you are enjoying the festive season and aren't being drowned by rain as I am here in Ireland.

Thanks for reading,
Ciara.

First day back to TORTURE I mean school.....

You're lookin' fine today.
So yesterday I awoke at 7:30AM to get ready for my first day back at school in 6th year. (Senior year for the USA)

It wasn't too bad to be honest because I got to see all my brilliant friends again and catch up with people I hadn't seen all summer. Also because I'm a prefect I spent a good chunk of the morning giving a tour to the new 1st years (sorry I don't know what grade that is in the US but you're about 12 in 1st year) around the school. I got a group of 5 1st years to show around and for the rest of the year I'll be their go to person if they have any questions or problems they need help with. Pretty neat huh?


So all in all it wasn't too bad starting back at school because I don't necessarily hate school I just dislike having to do stupid subjects I'll never use again for the rest of my life (I'm talking to you Religion). I'm not as bad, thank god, as some people who just moan and whine about school everyday, all day long. The way I see it it's a few years of your life you have to give up in order to have an awesome time for the rest of your time on earth. A good bargain if I do so say myself.

But after the first day was done and dusted we headed off to a friends house to celebrate being back to school and to eat away our sorrows. That is if  you call celebrating ordering 80 euro worth of pizza and munching on popcorn and chocolate whilst watching movies 'celebrating'. I just call it a regular Saturday night.

 It was a great night all together even if I do still have a massive food baby as a result. And I think we'll make it a monthly thing just to make myself even more unhealthy. Oh well I'm off to finish a 5 page essay I have to complete for tomorrow. God I love school!
