    Popped into a new shop on O'Connell St called Brand Avenue.

    Was great for stocking fillers for the girlfriend and sisters.

    Had great selection of Ciate and Urban Decay items - 3 for €10 and 2 Benefit eye shadows for €10.

    Bulked out their presents nicely!

    I love TK Maxx for stocking fillers, when you get to have a good root around you will always find something for someone.

    Yeah they def are real.

    One of the girls who accompanied me works in the Beauty market and couldnt believe it either.

    I believe benefit changed the packaging of their eye shadow recently and hence the price.

    I dunno... I find it really hard to believe that you'd get 2 authentic Benefit eye shadows for a tenner.

    I saw a few in my chemist today and they were €4.50! I've never actually bought Benefit eye shadow, but from Googling, the boxes seem to be the exact same. I know you can't tell just from the box, but they looked pretty good. Maybe I should buy for one for "research"...

    Wow! On the Benefit website, the eye shadows are $18. I've no idea what that is in euro, but definitely more than 4.50. That's crazy, I'd buy 'em to check it out too!

    TK Maxx do Benefit eyeshadows for €3. Given, they're pretty basic colours; browns, rusts, creams.. but still! That shop is actually brilliant for little makeup presents, Jodie (or Gemma? Whichever one is the makeup artist!) Kidd does lovely sets for different skin types with blushes, eyeshadows and stuff, and you can get them pretty cheap in there too.
