The 'Miracle' Cream

I'm sure you've heard about this product or seen an advert, but Garnier's Miracle Skin Cream really does work 'miracles' on your skin. Firstly this product does have anti-ageing formulas in it and i'm only 18, so don't want to/can't comment on that side of things.

However when you dispense it out of the tube, it's white in colour and as soon as you begin to blend it in, it perfectly matches the colour of your skin! It's also super lightweight to wear, which I found made a huge difference in the current climate and has an spf of 20, so is perfect for the weather we're currently experiencing (and the weather I'm hoping to get when I go on holiday on Monday!)

At the moment (I think) it's only available as Superdrug and they're currently offering your money back if you don't witness the miracle (until the 31st of July 2014). Superdrug also offers 10% student discount so full price at £8.66 minus the discount, you really can't go wrong!

MAC Alluring Aquatic

I'd heard only good things about the new MAC collection and really wanted to try it, especially the bronzer as the one I previously owned, really wasn't doing it for me. So I brought it in the shade 'refined golden' and was loving it. 

Then two weeks ago my parents gave me a card and gift as a good luck for my A2 examinations and the gift was the bronzer this time in 'golden' and the lipstick in 'siren song'. 

Having now used both bronzers, I much prefer the shade 'golden' as it's more easily blended into my face and there's a lot more shine, which personally I prefer. 'Siren song' is a really pretty nude colour, once it's applied it sits on the lips like a gloss leaving them very moist with a really nice shine.

The packaging of these new products is also amazing, the faux water droplets add extra dimension, making these products completely irresistible! The mirror in the bronzer is also a perfect size.

FREE SAMPLE

With every benefit order over £40, they offer two free samples. I recently purchased online at benefit and received a free sample of the total moisture facial cream. This small sample would have easily given me two/three applications, however I did use it all in one go through fear of what would happen to it as I wasn't able to re-seal it.

I think samples like this are a great way of trialing a product before purchasing a full size product, as it allows you to see how the product works on/with your skin to help you decide if it's worth purchasing the product. I know that next time I'm near a benefit counter I will definitely be picking up the full size product of this cream.
