Benefit Finding Mr. Bright Kit Review

For the majority of the time, beauty kits/sets are good deals. You pay a bit to a lot more for the products which you want but the actual set will cost less then buying all the products separately. Which is why I love Benefit cosmetics so much. They had a large variety of kits (they're always releasing new kits) and when calculated separately they often tend to be excellent value (depending on the percentage of the products in the kit which you can personally use).

Presenting the Finding Mr. Bright Kit which retails for $36.00 USD (Benefit is currently having this on sale for only $27.99 USD, view it by CLICKING HERE)!

The cutest packaging: neon colours and a cute pun :)

Comes with a pamphlet detailing ways you can use the products included in the kit.

Firstly, isn't the packaging just the cutest thing in the world? *make up fangirl moment*
I adore the funny little not-so-subtle puns which Benefit often uses to market their products. It's cheeky and chic. The entire kit can fit easily inside your handbag but definitely too large for your wallet (even if it is a clutch!).

At the time that I bought this kit, I already had many of the products which were included inside it. I already owned the Posietint (full size) and the Highbeam (full size). I was never very interested in the girl meets pearl since trying the sample size (it's good but not "oh wow again, again!" type of good). However, I was very much interested in trying the famous Erase Paste!

So I bought the kit to try out the Erase Paste, to have more back ups of some of my favourites, because it was on sale, and for the packaging.

Inside.

The Erase Paste did not disappoint me! It is even more amazing then I had originally thought! It is salmon coloured (not too intense) which is perfect for the undereye as the salmon/pink undertones will cancel out the blue/grey undereye bags. The deluxe sample size which comes in the kit is huge. The sample size included in this kit is 3.2g and the full size Erase Paste is 4.4g. That's a difference of 1.2g, and the sample size will definitely last around 4-6 months if used for undereye concealing!

You can purchase the full size Erase Paste for $26.00 USD by CLICKING HERE. I am actually very glad I purchased the Finding Mr. Bright kit. It's incredible value and would suit any person (good christmas gift too!) as there should be at least one thing in the kit which they will enjoy. :)

As with all Benefit packaging, the inside can be removed and you can use the box as a storage container. :)

Stay Beautiful! xx

Benefit Posietint Review

Let me start by showing you all my current Benefit Cosmetic collection:

To date: 29/11/2012!

I am currently awaiting another order to arrive from Benefit (should be within the next few days but shipping is very unpredictable during Christmas season - to be expected of course!). I will post a picture of that when it arrives here. :)

CLICK HERE to visit the official Benefit Cosmetics website (free shipping for orders over $125 AUD, free samples, legitimate, promotional offers, a lot cheaper then buying in Australia)!

The boxes/anything still in it's packaging are back-ups. I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to make up. But I'm sure you're worse, and that's okay with me. :)

Benefit Cosmetics - being one of my holy grail brands - contains a lot of products I use in my daily routine.

Benefit's PosieTint - Lip and Cheek Stain ($29.00 USD).

Bright blue-toned pink lip and cheek stain.

As you can see the applicator and bottle and similar and design and style as the High Beam by Benefit. However, the bottle is more plastic and not glass like the High Beam is. The pink works well on my skin tone when applied to my cheeks (I'm a light-medium, yellow-toned colour) but not so much on my lips unless I blend/mix it with some other lip products.

I love using stains on my cheeks because you can intensify the colour with a powder or even a cream blush and if that rubs off, the stain will remain on the cheek for hours to come! It works by being absorbed into the most superficial layer of the skin (easily exfoliated off during make up removal)!

A swatch of the Posietint once dried and blended out.

It is easy to blend out and control the colour intensity of the cheek tint once you become familiar with practice using the tint. It can be as pigmented and as subtle as you want. A bottle will definitely last you more than a year even if used daily, you only need two drops to be honest!

I definitely recommend this tint, it works well on most skin tones, easily blendable, will last a long time even if used daily, and looks amazingly natural in any lighting. It has a matte finish and can be layered with other types of blushes for different looks!

Stay Beautiful! xx
