As the title says, you get a choice of

"Eye bright"
"Bad gal eyeliner"
"It stick"

Worth the 3-odd euro if you use the products..which are full sized

Dolbert

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up

Chuchoter

I got the bad gal! Such a good deal. I remember seeing the mascara there once and its bugged me ever since that I didn't buy it

Twee.

I got the Eye Bright yesterday! Benefit are mad for giving away make up this year!

blahhh

I got all three

Just today I was looking at old make-up set/palettes...and I think I have them already! The smokey eye set has the bright eyes, and the big beautiful eyes has the concealer, and I had the bad gal eyeliner before just can't find it... Hurray for unnecessary spending

Pythia

I just got the Bad Gal. You can never have too many black eyeliners!

slowmoe

do you have to bring a voucher to a shop or is it in the magazine? What are all the products and whats recommended? I only tried benefit bad gal mascara before and didn't like it, also found the assistant pushy so never went back, will give this a go!

tatabubbly

Do they come free with the mag?? I'd buy all three!! I love their products, thanks for the heads up!

donegalgirl28

Savage! Gonna buy it tomorrow! Want the IT stick!

Futurecrook

Ooo yay. Will go look for a copy tomorrow. Heatons are also selling Benefit eyeshadow for €3 at the moment.

LadyE

Yeah they are in with the magazine.

Does anyone know what I do with the eye bright :D is it an eyeshadow stick?

From benefitcosmetics.com

Stroke this pink brightening pencil on the inner and outer corners of the eye to look instantly wide-awake. It's like a coffee break in a stick!...

Apply to the inner and outer corners of your eyes and blend.

For best results, apply as the final step after you've applied other makeup.

Got the It-stick today, it was one of only three mags left in the shop, the other two being another It-stick and an Eye Bright.

The Big Red Button

Wow that's unreal! :eek: And they're full-size?! I actually might just go buy all three tomorrow

It's to 'brighten' your eye, kind of similar to a concealer. Apply to the inner and outer corners of your eyes and blend. Simple.

Majestic 12

Thanks for the tip girls, I just got the last Glamour mag in the shop and a free it stick. Going to go on a hunt for the other two tomorrow.

I'm not sure it's actually Benefit, I think what they are selling is makeup in very 'Benefitesque' packaging!

LadyE

Thanks for that girlies, I put it on like eyeliner earlier...not pretty

fonpokno

Got the It Stick the other day which I quite like and I'm hoping to get the eyeliner if I can hunt one down somewhere.

I still have my mini benefit mascara that I got last year off glamour and it's brilliant. Perfect size for a night out.

LadyMayBelle

I bought the Eye bright a few weeks back and really like it; I stick in in the corner of my eyes, and also just under my eyebrows and rub it in. Makes a big difference to my eyes anyway!

Any recommendations on the eyeliner? I like the Bad Gal Lash mascara but haven't tried the eyeliner..

That would make sense. I was wondering how they could possibly be selling it so cheap. It's nice though and was cheap so I can't complain really. Also, for a fake the packaging is pretty impressive.

Shelga

Ooh thanks for the tip, hopefully there'll still be a few left in the shop tomorrow! What does the It Stick do though?? Know about the others, but can't find the It Stick on the Benefit website

Benefit it stick google results

How Strange

I got all 3 last friday

I think it is benefit as Glamour have been using the benefit logo in the mag advertising the promotion. 2 years ago they gave away 3 benefit lip glosses so they must have some sort of deal with the company.

ams

I got all three last week as well. I like the products but probably wouldn't have paid full price for them - I find benefit to be a bit over hyped!

Oh I'm not doubting that, it's the Š3 Benefitesque eyeshadows that are being sold in Heatons that aren't the real deal! I don't think they actually say 'Benefit' on them but the packaging is near identical.

Probably, they've certainly spawned thousands of replicas. I also think the products that Glamour give away are made especially for promotion and not for resale.

+1 I would rarely buy benefit cosmetics but I love a freebie or 3!

Has anyone tried the eyeshadows in Heatons? Any good?

They do. They have the logo and everything. Pretty impressive fakes.

Yup I have. I really like them. It's good quality eyeshadow regardless of whether it's the real deal or not.

I love Benefit! Heading straight to Easons on my way home!

Really, wow! In that case maybe they are real, it'd be quite risky for a store to stock fakes I'd imagine? Must have a look!

My local Eason was all out of Glamour magazine today, boo!

Dolbert

Well my curiosity got the better of me today and sure enough they had €3 Benefit eyeshadows! They look like the real deal



I hunted down a copy of Glamour today and got the 'It Stick', now all I have to do is find the other two

donegalgirl28

Plenty of copies of Glamour when I went into Easons on O'Connell Street today. After shopping in Clerys I checked the prices of the items that are being given away and it's €26 each! So I thought, f**k it and I bought all three! The amount of savings on them is unreal!

dudara

I spent ages looking around town as I wanted the Bad Girl pencil - finally managed to get it on Sunday in Eason in Dublin Airport (heading towards what used to be Pier A).

Pythia

Saw loads in the Londis on Lower Baggot St. I think I'm allergic to the Bad Gal eyeliner though, my eyes are all watery and stingy and I think it's started since I started using it
