Beauty: Benefit's - How to look the best at everything

I received this as a birthday present from one of my besties and I was so excited about it! I already have the porefessional and hello flawless foundation but since the NARS tinted  moisturiser entered my life they kinda took a side line. Now, it the complete opposite, I have turned to this everyday! Porefessional feels like CLOUDS. actual clouds on your face it is so soft and a small amount goes a long way, I use this mostly on my nose and t-section. The foundation is really soft and I don't feel it sitting on my skin or being all cakey. It doesn't make my skin feel oily either, I really rate this foundation! 
 I LOVE the concealer, it's so soft and smooth! I used to use benefits erase paste but I prefer this, I use both colours so I dot the lighter shade under the eye at each corner and use the darker shade in the middle and do a line along my cheek. This blends so well and I actually prefer this to my collection 2000 ( is that slightly controversial?) but I think it's probably because I prefer my concealer to be a bit thicker and more of a paste, if you get what I mean.
The powder is great, the make up stays on all day, I can't honestly say if its better than my Rimmel stay matte powder which is probably a lot cheaper. My only bug bear with the powder in this is that you can't take it out, you can take all the other products out and they are a great size but if you wanted to powder up later you would have to take the whole thing. 
You can actually take the whole thing out and use just the book as a little box, with it's tips and tricks this makes a great present. ( I think I can say because I was beyond chuffed with it!) 
What are your favourite benefit products?

Vlog 1: How to look average

Hey guys!
 So here it is! My very first vlog!! Go easy on me because everything that could go wrong did! Lost my tripod so the original video I wanted to do I couldn't so I thought I would do something pretty easy:

My daily make up routine! Basically I get up real early and I have like 15 minutes ( pretty much always less then this) to do my make up, so this is a eaaasssy daily make up look you can do in no time!
As I thought trying to add text on top was a little too much for my first video I'll do a run through here:

1) Prime face with- Benefit: Porefessional
2) Apply foundation -Benefit:  Hello Oxygen
3) Apply - Rimmel: Stay Matte powder
4)Apply Blush (/bronzer & Highlighter in this case!) - Urban decay: Naked Flushed
5) Shape eyebrows - MAC: Mystery
6)Apply eyeshadow- Urban Decay Naked 3 : Nooner ( also blend this in on the creases)
7) Highlight underbrows - Urban Decay Naked 3: Strange ( Or Foxy in Naked 2)
8) Apply Eyeliner - L'oreal: superliner
9) Apply Mascara - Rimmel: Scandaleyes
10) Apply concealer - Benefit: Erase Paste Shade 2
11) Small coat of lip balm - Maybeline: baby lips - hydrate
12) Apply Lipstick - Topshop: Beatnik.


I just want to add that Adobe Premiere pro is heaaaaaaaaaaaps easier then Windows movie maker which kept crashing on me!! This was so easy to use, if you haven't used it before there are a lot of tutorials on youtube but its quite easy to pic up, and I am horrendous with technology!! You can trial it for free on Adobes creative cloud along with other adobe products which is amazing!

Any suggestions or comments in video editing are appreciated! Let me know what you think of the video and what are your daily essentials?
I have an idea for a make up look next week I am beyond excited about, what did you think about the no speaking format? I couldn't quite get the hang of talking to the camera so I thought this would be easier to start off with especially as it is a pretty straight forward look. Anyway here it is the finished video!
