As far as cult beauty buys go
Benefit's Badgal Lash mascara, (£14.50), has long been a contender for the prize for the best mascara out there. If you want big, bad lashes in the darkest coal black this is your girl. Now in the wake of the
coloured mascara trend, they've launched a version in deep plum.

I have
been hearing good things about Benefit's new
Posietint, (£22.50) for a while now, but it wasn't until my friend, the
Femme Fatale went for a
Benefit make-over, in store, that I was really tempted. Despite having only had four hours sleep, she'd never looked so fresh. I was a little jealous, to say the least.
