b.right! Radiant Skincare by Benefit

b.right!

Benefit launched its newest products recently and it was a new skincare line called b.right! Radiant Skincare.

"Let there be light...b.right! Radiant Skincare by Benefit gives skin a radiantly refreshed, lit from within look. This limited edition set of introductory size products is all you need for healthy-looking radiance."  via Benefit Cosmetics

I for one go through many skin care products and are so unsure many times if I want to try out new products.  I'm just afraid of spending tons of money on items that do not work or make matters worse for my face.  However, if you are not ready to step and buy some full size skin care products from Benefit, Benefit has an Intro Kit that you can get for just $12.  That's pretty inexpensive in my book, to try out some products before committing whole heartily.

Product Details

b. right! Radiant Skincare Intro Kit = $12

~ refined finish facial polish smoothest surface facial exfoliator 8.9 g Net wt. 0.3 oz.

Benefit Bella Bamba blush - a first look

Hello there!
After seeing swatches and reading reviews I couldn't resist it anymore!
I caved in and decided to buy Benefit's latest boxed blush- Bella Bamba.

My thoughts-

On the product:
I think this is a great addition to my growing blush collection.
It's very pretty, quite pigmented and super easy to work with. It's a watermelon pink (meaning, it's a bright and deep pink- a rosy pink) with a pretty gold sheen to it.

On the packaging:
I'm not a fan of these boxed powder blushes because I find them inconvenient and bulky. This one in particular is different from Benefit's usual boxed blushes as this one flips open and close. At first I had a hard time opening the lid because I had to wiggle it to open since I didn't want to rip the box. I'm getting the hang of it, but I still don't particularly like the flip top packaging.

On the price:
Benefit's blushes are $28 for a full sized box and this is no exception. Although I do think it's quite expensive, I have high hopes that this blush will last me years to come! So with that thought in mind, I don't feel so guilty about forking over almost $30 for one blush. =)

Overall:
Yes, I do recommend this blush.
If you wanted to only get one blush from Benefit's blush collection- this would be it!

Now for your viewing pleasure, the swatches!

Thanks for reading ladies!
