Benefit Lip Glosses Part 1

Before Christmas I posted about the Benefit High dlyin' Lip Gloss set but without swatches as it was a gift for someone

I also received the set for Christmas so now I'm able to swatch and show you guys

There are six different shades in the collection of glosses each one is based on one of the infamous Benefit box of powders

I'll split the collection into two posts otherwise it could go on a bit!
The full size of these glosses retail for £13.50, in the set they are all mini sizes which is good to try out the different colours available

Coralista~Sheer Coral Lip Gloss
Pretty much a jelly consistency and look
A translucent finish gives a fairly subtle but bright wash of colour
As the name suggests this is the perfect partner to the gorgeous coral box of blush Coralista
One of my favourites in the collection

Dallas~Dusty Rose Lip Gloss
A new lip colour to me, I'm normally a pink or coral kind of girl
So it's nice to try something new and Dallas is incredibly flattering and the perfect day time gloss
Similarly I thought the Dallas bronzer wouldn't be my cup of tea but I really enjoy using it



Dandelion~Soft Pearly Pink
This one is very sheer on the lips only really giving a slight shimmer
Very natural and great when having a subtle make up day when you don't want to look too over done

I've really been liking these new additions to the Benefit range and think there may be a few winners here to look into buying full size...Dallas most definitely!

Benefit 'Go Tropicoral' Review

Benefit Go Tropicoral Lip and Cheek Set

£24.50

Boots/Benefit

I received this for Christmas and have been really enjoying using it

As usual with Benefit products the packaging is cute and functional

There isn't a huge amount of wasted space so this is nice and compact

Perfect for traveling, a running theme on my blog as I don't like to pack too much

Especially when I go to New York as I intend to purchase quite a lot of make up once there

Within this set you get mini sizes of some popular Benefit products; High Beam, Cha Cha Tint, Coralsita Blusher and Coralista Lipgloss

Coral is definitely my favourite make up colour

It suits my skin tone and I think it's rather universally flattering on everyone

I seem to be accumulating a collection of Coralista blushers in mini and full size

Lucky it's one of my favourites really!

In the box you also get a pretty decent sized mirror so you can see your full face when applying make up rather than just your eye

Also some handy tips and tricks cards 

I'm thinking about adding a bit of the High Beam into my everyday foundation as I don't tend to use liquid highlighters that much in my routine

My everyday make up routine is pretty lazy if I'm honest! 

Do you like these kind of collections boxes?

Benefit Away We Glow Holiday Set

Away We Glow Set

Benefit (Exclusive to Boots)

£29.50, but now in the sale if you can track one down

I think I'm a bit late in posting this as it went into the Christmas sales and is pretty much sold out everywhere but if you can still find it in your local boots or on ebay I definitely recommend picking it up

Especially if it's at the cheaper sale price!

As you can see from my blog I have a bit of a thing for Benefit make up

It was the first premium make up brand I dabbled in for my leavers ball at school and I still stay quite loyal to using their products

Of course I dabble else where too!

My Mum bought me this for Christmas, I think in the hope I only take this with me when we go on holiday rather than a huge make up bag as usual...that won't happen.

Surprisingly the packaging isn't too bulky for what it has in it

Normally for sets like this the packaging is really too much for the products it holds and it seems such a waste

So if I did take it on holiday with me I wouldn't feel I had to de-box it to save space in my suitcase

And the packaging is too cute as always

The eyeshadows are perfect for the normal everyday eye look

The best mix of neutrals for fresh make up

Their more warm toned than other neutrals in my collection 

Considering I seem to buy a lot of neutral eyeshadows its quite refreshing not having something similar in my collection 

I think I prefer these to my Naked Palettes as the colours are much more wearable for me

Al though I don't think there is anything really to create an evening look only day time looks

As with most of the Benefit kits Coralista is the blusher included

It's one of their best selling items and I can see why

Having already got it in full size and nearly hit pan on it you can tell I quite like it

It's a stunning coral colour with a slight hint of shimmer 

I also got another Benefit kit for Christmas with Coralista in it 

The lipgloss in the set has been likened to Nars Turkish Delight gloss and I love the colour

Quite a pale, girly pink but very wearable and perfect for daytime

The best thing about these little kits is being able to try out the mini versions of more expensive products, like the Sunbeam and Highbeam, these are around £22ish in full size so it's good to be able to try them before splashing out

The mini size is a generous trial product, which you'd expect when paying for it in a kit rather than as a freebie from a magazine.

Overall I love this kit and definitely think it's worth picking up if you see it

Benefit High Flying Lip Gloss Set

High Flying Glosses Set

Benefit

£19.50 

Every year Benefit bring out various make up gift sets for Christmas

Each set comes in gorgeous packaging as you would expect from Benefit

Recently Benefit released a range of lip glosses to compliment their boxes of blushers

I'd love to give them a go but not being a lover of lip glosses means I'm hesitant to spend money on them

I picked up this lip gloss set for a friend for Christmas, there are six different shades in the pack to correspond with the blushers; Coralista: Sheer Coral, Dallas: Dusty Rose, Bella Bamba: Sheer Bright Watermelon, Hoola: Shimmering Golden Nude, Sugarbomb: Shimmering Pinky Nude and Dandelion: Soft Pearly Pink.

The glosses aren't full sized but aren't teeny tiny mini. Their the perfect size to chuck in your bag on a night out.

At £19.50 it works out at only £3.25 each which is a bargain to be able to try all six different colours. 

Have you tried the new glosses from Benefit?

Love

Belle
