Benefit smokin eyes kit.

I received this Benefit smokin'eyes kit as christmas present, as with all benefits products the package is gorgeous and detailed. 


Whats inside?

  • Three eye shadows: a pink highlight shadow, a pewter base shadow and a deep charcoal shadow.
  • A 'smokin' black eyeliner
  • A two sided brush, one side is an angle brush the other is a fluffy one.
  • Two gels: One eye bright gel and a Brow zing gel in the shade 'Light'
  • And finally a mini tweezers.


 really love there super cute tips and tricks booklet which is also included inside. It gives really good tips on how to make the most of there product.
This kit would be so handy to bring with you if you wear going away. It is so compact and has all the essential eye/brow needs. With this kit all you would need is your foundation and some lippy in your bag and your ready to go! Its so handy too have a travel size tweezers because you never know when you'll need to pluck a stray. This look gives you a metallic grey smokey eye which wouldn't be my usual go to colours , but they do all work lovely together. My favorite elements of this product would definitely be the zing brow and the eye bright. The zing brow only comes in the shade 'light' , which suits me but I don't think is fair for you darker haired gals. The light is a tad bit light for myself included but not by much, I just choose to darken it slightly using a brown eye shadow. The eye bright is a gorgeous pinkish toned highlight for under the brows and for the inner corner of the eyes. From using the Kit I would recommend you to buy definitely buy the zing brows, it is very similar to the Rimmel's 'brow this way' gel if you are looking for a more budget buy. I think I liked the zing brows just a tiny bit more i'm not sure if its the texture or the colour but it gives a slightly and I mean slightly more natural brow look as the texture isn't as thick! I am a huge fan of the Rimmel's 'brow this way' gel and I still use both. I haven't yet came across something like the eye bright to be honest so if your looking for a cream based highlight for eyes I would definitely recommend this to you.
