So, as you may have seen from my previous post, I just had a birthday and scooped up a couple of goodies. I haven't played with them all, but I did use a couple of new items.
Every year, Sephora Beauty Insiders get the opportunity to pick up a free beauty item for their birthday. This year's gift is the Benefit Real Birthday Turn-ons, which features a sample size mascara and highlighter. I wanted to try out the products, so check out the pics below!

The highlighter has a pretty smooth application, sort of like lipstick for your cheekbones. I didn't find it very difficult to blend. I wore it to work for a few days and it didn't seem to over power the look. I classify my skin as combination/oily and I don't feel that I came away, looking like a grease-ball. Benefit's Watt's Up highlighter retails for $30 (USD) for 9.4g (0.33oz).
As for the mascara, you can judge for yourself...

What I appreciate most about this product, is the wand. The applicator has little comb-like spikes, and on the tip, there's a bulb with more comb-like spikes. I think this allowed me to get a closer application to my lash-line while being able to separate my lashes.
Adding false lashes isn't something that I do often, so I really like for my mascara to give me volume, length, and drama. This mascara retails for $23 (USD) for a 8.5g (0.3oz) tube.
