I was excited when the set arrived in my letterbox and I restrained myself to take some pictures before opening it all up!
Here's what the set looks like.....
So what's included?? ERASE paste, STAY DON'T STRAY, benetint, posietint, high beam, ooh la lift, "that gal", dandelion, bella bamba and the POREfessional. All of Benefit's products have very cute packaging and names!
I've given all the products a number of test runs and am pretty happy with the results - when they run out I'll defintely be buying the full size products.....and of course you ask me which ones???? ERASE paste, benetint, posietint, high beam, the POREfessional and bella bamba!
Now for some pictures and a bit of info about each of the products....
ERASE paste....
A concentrated, creamy concealer that brightens and conceals. This came in the medium shade and matched my skin perfectly. It covered my under eye circles and any blemishes!
STAY DON'T STRAY.....
This is a primer for eye make up and concealer to help them stay all day...and all night. I would say that some of my other eye primers are just as good, if not a little better.
benetint...
This is a sheer, rose-tinted lip and cheek stain. The colour is absolutely beautiful and adds just the right amount of flush to your cheeks and lips.
posietint...
Add a pop of colour with this creamy poppy-pink lip and cheek stain. The colour is so nice and fresh, however I do prefer to use it more as a cheek stain than lip stain.
high beam...
This is a satiny pink highlighter to use over your make up to highlight your cheek bones, brow bone and cupids bow....I can see why this is a make up artist's favourite!
ooh la lift...
This product is supposed to perk up tired eyes, and when I used it, I had only had about 3 hours sleep and didn't really think it did the job:(
"that gal"...
This is supposed to be a brightening face primer to make your make up go on smoother and even out your complexion so it looks perfect and even. I actually found this to make my foundation look oily. Next time I use it I'll apply it only to the "highlighting" parts of my face and use my normal primer to the other areas and see if it makes a difference.
dandelion...
A ballerina-pink brightening powder that perks up your complexion. I thought this was a bit too "pink" to put all over my face and found it worked better as a blush (although it was quite sheer) or a highlighter.
bella bamba
A brightening 3D watermelon pink blush laced with shimmering gold undertones. This blush is amazingly unique and does need a light hand for applying as it is sooooo pigmented. Love at first swipe!
the POREfessional
A pro balm that minimizes the appearance of fine lines and pores. It can be used as a primer or over your make up. I use quite a number of fine line/pore reducing products so I'm not sure if this works used on its own but I liked it's consistency and how it made my skin feel soft and silky.
I purchased this from eBay but if you like what you see and read then full size products can be purchased in Australia from eBay or you can place an order through Benefit Cosmetics (www.benefitcosmetics.com) in the US. The shipping is quite reasonable and takes less than 2 weeks to arrive. I know I'll be buying some more products, oh and of course a few other ones too.......
I purchased this set with my own money and am not being paid for this review nor am I affliated with Benefit. The review is my personal opinion.
Have you tried any products from Benefit?
