Benefit Lemon Aid Corrector Eyelid Primer

"The soft, lemon yellow cream helps to hide redness and discoloration on your eyelids. In a snap, eyes look refreshed, frisky, and ready for fun."

I am in love with this product. It is amazing.

The  product is small, however, you only need a small amount for each eye. Lemon Aid does look thick but it blended extremely well on any skin type, tone or colour.

After using this product, my eye make up really did stay on longer then ever and didn't crease.
Without eye make it, my eyes look refreshed and you could be trick to believe I have had hours and hours of sleep (I wish).

I does seem a tad pricey when you see it in the shops, however, it will last you for months, so they price is really good when thought about that way.

I promise, after using this product, you won't look back and you will wonder how you have lived so long without it.

Leichner Foundation 30ml

"World famous Leichner Foundation is a professional foundation used by Photographic studios, televison, theatre and professional make up artists worldwide. All day moisturising foundation."

Leichner Foundation 30ml


I have to admit, I had not heard of this product before. I stumbled upon it and read some amazing reviews so I thought that I would give it a go.

Ok, where to start?

One of the reviews I read was that it was great for people with drier skin. I have combination skin and I tend to get very dry around the corners of the nose and occasionally down the bridge. This product wasn't great for that. I have a slightly oily forehead and it wasn't great for this either.

To be honest, I was quite sure how to apply it. A brush applied the product too thick, fingers weren't bad but you get a lot of product on the hands and I found it difficult to apply without streaks. 
I found the best way to apply was with a cosmetic sponge. It went on well and without streaking.

Leichner is very thick but very workable and so you don't need that much product with each application. 
A 30ml pot will last.

Even though it wasn't brilliant on my skin, I would really recommend it to people with slight combination skin, and maybe with oil, if you have an extremely good skin/foundation primer underneath.
My skin did feel smooth all day while wearing Leichner, and it didn't feel like I was wearing anything.

Leichner covers very well on dark circles, (even my panda eyes), and over imperfections. Leichner can go on very well after a bit of practice and will last a long time.
A brilliant product at an amazing price.
