Benefit Smokin' Eyes Palette


They say,

"Back Smokin' Eyes is a complete brow and eye kit to create a sexy, smoky professional look. Each kit contains eye smart, three eye shadows in pink, pewter and deep charcoal, liner, shaping wax, a fluff shadow / hard angle brush, exiguous tweezers and an illustrated lesson."

I say,

Retailing at $68(AUD) this nifty little palette contains not only all you need to create that smoldering smokey eye but is also versatile enough for many other looks. I was originally planning on creating a smokey recognize with the palette, but then I realized that since it already contains instructions to in a cute booklet I might as well show you that it can be used for other looks too.

Both the eye bright and pencil liner can be used as base shadows or the original intended use as a highlight and liner. The shadows can be used all together to design a smokey eye or individually to create other looks. Having added the brow wax, 'tweezies' and dual ended applicator this is also a great idea if you are staying overnight somewhere or traveling. All else you would need would be a multi-purpose lip and cheek product, such a poise-tint, mascara and maybe a gloss or a balm.

I really wanted to do a Sophia Loren look and I also wanted to indicate you that palettes can be passe for other looks than intended.

The Benefit Palette was given to me for PR consideration, please don't think this influences my opinion. As you can see the palette is versatile and you can exercise it for other purposes than unprejudiced a Smokey examine, you can inspect from the tutorial!
The Primer was given to me by a fellow blogger for reviewing purposes and I won the Napoleon liner.

This is a tad on the dramatic side but you know me I can't help it!
