Budget Beauty: Benecos Autumn Collection - Review & Swatches

Having been impressed by Benecos' Summer Collection earlier this year, I was excited to see what they were going to release next. 

Those that are reading this who are new to Benecos will be delighted to discover that this brand are not only cruelty-free, but that their products are also formulated with natural and certified organic ingredients. The range is also free from the likes of parabens, silicones, and mineral oil, and many of their products are suitable for vegans (just check the website). The icing on the cake is that Benecos are also super affordable, so you can pick up and try out a lot of their stuff without breaking the bank.

Here are just four of my favourite picks from their new Autumn Collection.

 Benecos Natural Mono Eyeshadows* (2g, £3.95 each, link) 

For Autumn, I love embracing more earthy tones, and one quick and affordable way to update your makeup look for the new season is with eyeshadow. These cute and compact mono shadows from Benecos feature an embossed tree branch print, and the see-through lids save you time finding your favourite shade when you're rummaging through your makeup bag.

The shades above are (from L-R); Choco Cookie (shimmery brown with a subtle copper red tint), Cosmic Moon (shimmery olive with silver undertones), and So What? (pale shimmery brown with gold). All of these are gorgeous colours for Autumn, apply smoothly and are easy to blend/work with.

 Benecos Natural Lipstick in Poppy Red* (4.5g, £6.95, link)

For a lipstick shade that's going take you from Autumn right through to the Christmas party season, Poppy Red is guaranteed to receive many compliments! I'm absolutely smitten with this colour - it's one of those warm, orange-toned reds that isn't too bright, but somehow manages to be quietly stunning all at the time. It really helps to pull together any outfit and is wearable enough for daytime if you're after a bolder lip. 

The formula is fantastic too; richly pigmented, really creamy and nourishing thanks to key ingredients such as Avocado and Olive Oil, and is surprisingly long lasting for a moisturising lipstick. Definitely a new favourite in my makeup bag!

Benecos are available in the UK from selected health stores, independent pharmacies and online frombenecos.co.uk
