I cannot tell you how excited I am about this month's Instead of a Beauty Box product! I have been lusting after the Ben Nye Luxury Banana Powder for so, so long. Spurred on by my love for American beauty guru's, who rave and rave about this product being amazing for your under eye area, and particularly for use on areas you have applying a lighter or highlighting concealer or similar product. So, when I was considering what to get for this month's Instead of a Beauty Box post, I thought why not? I've wanted this for around five months now. I took the plunge and I ordered it!
I actually ordered it from Amazon and I was chuffed to see that a 1.5oz tub of it was just £8.99, plus £3 post and packaging! And what's even better, is it came just a day later, fantastic fast delivery!
Ben Nye makes cosmetics for theatres so the products are made with the intention to last, last, last! Under lights, on stage, show after show, Ben Nye's products have to last. And that is exactly why the Ben Nye Banana Powder is so good! And, if you are a fan of the way Kim Kardashian highlights and contours - this is the powder she uses!
I've been loving using this. I've used it mostly to set my under eye concealer as well as any liquid lighter concealers or highlighters. I've actually found since using this that my oily skin in my t-zone is less of a problem throughout the day, and my under eye makeup doesn't crease, which is something it did before. I'm chuffed I finally bought this, a little goes such a long way and I know this will last ages and ages! But before it even has the chance to run out, I'll be ordering a backup! I genuinely don't think I could be without this now!
Do you think the Ben Nye Banana Powder is something you'd try?

Thanks Laura, glad to hear you like my blog! You should pick this up, it's really worth it! xo
DeleteI actually have 3 of these. I have Sienna, Coco Tan and Topaz and they only cost me about £15 for all of them which is an absolute deal!!!
ReplyDeleteThat really is a good deal! I am so happy with this one! xo
DeleteDoes it smell like banana? It looks good, great price too.
ReplyDeletexx
It doesn't smell like banana, no :) I think it's just because of the colour that it's called banana xo
DeleteThis is something I have been lusting over :D - I think I might have to get it soon!

Stop lusting and get it! :) I lusted after it for far too long and I'm glad I finally picked it up xo
DeleteLooks good! It is such a fantastic idea to treat yourself to a quality item instead of a box. I get the beauty box fix via latest in beauty 'little beauty box' £1.50 including delivery brill! :-) xxx (PS the link took me off your blog page instead of a new page)
ReplyDeleteI used to get the Latest in Beauty boxes but their prices have risen, almost by double, so I don't bother anymore! xo
DeleteI've wanted this forever but never got round to searching for it, It's definently something i'd purchase!

ReplyDeleteYou won't regret it! :) xo
Deletehmmm tempted by this but slightly concerned it will leave a yellow tint on my pale skin. Wish there was somewhere I could try out the different shades in the UK!

It doesn't leave any colour :) There are other shades in the range so you could check those out? :) xo
DeleteI've got this product in the shade Buff as I was worried the yellow might not match with my skin as I use it to set my whole face. Its the best powder I own and I'm tempted to byt the Banana one as well. X
ReplyDeleteThis one doesn't leave any colour on me. It's such a lovely product. Let me know if you decide to pick it up! xo
DeleteI have recently unsubscribed from Glossybox so that I can purchase something expensive that I ACTUALLY want, too! This looks very interesting - why is it 'banana' powder? Does it smell of bananas? hehe x
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't smell of bananas no, I think it's just due to the colour! I think it's better to buy a product you really want and will use for sure! xo
DeleteIve always wanted to try this, i had no idea it was so cheap
ReplyDeleteIt's so, so cheap! I was surprised too! :) xo
DeleteI heard so many beautiful things about this powder... i need to get my and on it asap!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat would you use the pink one for? xo
DeleteI may have to try this, anything that makes me less oily is worth trialling! x
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolute miracle product where my oily skin is concerned xo
DeleteI am intrigued!! It looks like it would last ages!
