The Benefit up to 60% off sale starts today!

Hi guys,
Just a quick post, as I received an email alert that the Benefit sale was starting today. It's the first time they've ever had a sale on this scale, and there are discounts of up to 60% to be had. I've always been a fan of the classic Benefit products (such as Benetint and BrowZings) but since I got the Benefit Advent calendar at Christmas i've been turned on to loads of their other products that I simply can't live without! My brows, in particular, certainly wouldn't be the same without Benefit: I'm slightly obsessed with my eyebrows and won't use any other brand on them.With that in mind here are my sale picks:

Smokin' eyes set. Was £28.50 now £20
I actually reviewed this here a long time ago, and I love it as much now as I did then . It contains everything you need to have perfect brows, as well as a kit to create wonderfully dramatic smokey eyes too. There was a time where the only make up I carried in my hand bag was this (now my skin needs a little more help and I carry a make up bag with me!) but my passion for this remains!


Benetint pocket pal. Was £15.50 now £7.25
I really love Benetint: It is a really lovely cheek and lip stain with a pretty, subtle colour, and iconic enough that you really don't need me to tell you about it. This pocket pal though takes benetint and makes it easy to use and apply when you're out and about, with the added bonus of being double ended and having a clear lipgloss as part of the set too. Perfect for sealing in the Benetint colour once you've popped it on.



Some kind of gorgeous. Was £24.50 now £17.50
Another throw back to my favourites from years ago, but for young clear skin that doesn't need much help, but does need to be evened out and given a great smooth base, this is the best product I have tried. I am also slightly in love with the packaging, which looks much better in your handbag than a bulky liquid foundation.


The Benefit sale is only set to last for two weeks, but I predict, with enthusiasts of the brand being quite so, erm, enthusiastic, that the most popular discounted products will be sold out long before then.They are also offering free delivery on any order over £40 so if you're buying several items, you'll get your delivery for free. I've definitely seen a few bits and pieces to add to my shopping basket!

Lust List from the ASOS sale

Hi guys,
Following their devastating warehouse fire that saw them lose a whopping 20% of their stock last week, no one expected ASOS to brush themselves down and carry on quite so quickly: But that's exactly what they did when they launched their mid season 50% off sale at the beginning of the week. Thay also released a press release announcing that they will be donating all of their unsaleable smoke damaged stock to charity: bravo ASOS, on turning what could have been a total disaster into a positive PR opportunity!

That ASOS is the nations favourite online store is clear, and it makes perfect sense: not only is there own brand fashion forward and affordable, you can also buy thousands of other hot brands through their website too. Which is why my current lust list features everything I want from the ASOS sale:

ASOS firestorm leather sandals, £16
ASOS leather jewelled flower clutch, £28
ASOS Peacock print skater dress, £14 
ASOS Premium denim smock dress, £27 
ASOS reclaimed vintage 50s shirt dress, £30
ASOS Leather Chelsea boots, £22 

Because age is obviously making me far too sensible, everything I've picked could be worn right now, but also all the way through Autumn/Winter as well. I love dresses with sleeves, and these loose smock-type dresses look amazing with fitted leather jackets and lovely thick tights. Winter really is my favourite season to dress for!

Have you picked up any bargains from the ASOS sale so far? And how are you finding the mid-season sales in general- is there any shop (online or off) that has left you particularly impressed so far?
