PRODUCT REVIEW: Benefit's It's Potent Eye Cream

Okay, I'm a lover of new stuff, especially beauty stuff. I'm literally obsessed. But I do like to get other people's opinions on stuff before I buy it, so I'm gonna put my opinion out there in the hope it helps someone!

Today I'm just gonna say a short piece on Benefit's Eye Cream. First of all, the packaging is sooooo fab! I really love the quirky little glass pot with the wood-look lid. It looks like an old school, vintage type cream and I love stuff like that! So that deffo wins it an immediate point!

Now the object of the cream is to brighten eyes, remove dark circles and just improve your under eye area in general, making you look more awake and brightening the entire area. It is supposed to do this if you apply it both day and night. Personally, I found the cream to be really smooth, soft and lightweight so it doesn't feel too heavy or gross on my eyes. But, I'm yet to see a huge difference to my under eye circles and darkness! I'll carry on with it as I've only been using it around three weeks or so but sadly, for me, it doesn't seem to be working just yet! Saying that, my eyes do feel refreshed and because it feels quite cold, it's a nice cooling feeling just before bed! Hopefully I'll see a difference soon!

Work Experience!

Following my quest to better my CV and not spend my entire summer working as a waitress, I decided to take up some work experience at my local newspaper. This job was a 9-5 job which I did on top of my waitressing job, meaning I was in theory working two full time jobs! Tired was an understatement... 

Even though I spent the time totally exhausted, I got a great bit of experience, a useful reference, and even got some articles printed in the paper! Result!

It wasn't what I expected but it really was great.. They threw me straight in at the deep end; sending me out on jobs, making calls and conducting interviews, and getting to write up my own stories! It also helped me realise what I do actually do want to do when I finish uni! All in all a fab week that helped in more ways than one!
