Throw A Holiday Benefit

Benefit always has the cutest holiday sets that are so much fun (their names alone always make me smile). There are a bunch of new sets out this year and I’m slightly obsessed with two of them.

Powderazzi is the perfect purchase for someone who has always heard the raves about Benefit’s extensive powder collection, but has yet to try many of them. (Oddly, for as much Benefit as I own, I have very few of their powders. I think I need to work on that!) Powderazzi contains three of their bestsellers – Dallas, Coralista, and Hoola in a little palette with adorable purple and gold packaging. It’s a great way to sample a few shades without committing to a full-priced purchase, but it’s also really convenient for traveling because the palette is thin and not too bulky. My favorite powder of the three is Coralista. It’s a gorgeous coral-pink shade that works really well with my pale skin to give me a touch of color. I definitely will be going out and buying the regular version of this one for the upcoming holiday party season.

The other new Benefit set that I’m oohing and ahhing over is Celebutante. Benefit calls it a “personal stylist makeup kit” and that’s a great description. It also comes packaged in the same purple and gold colors (this one is made to look like a chic little clutch) and it has a ton of different product options in it. It comes with mini versions of high beam, benetint (everyone’s favorite lip & cheek stain), dallas face powder, a lip gloss in I’m with the band (a golden pink shimmer), a full-finish lipstick in lady’s choice (a basic nude shade), and another full-finish lipstick in no competition (a deep plum). There are also two velvet eyeshadows in leggy (a pink nude satin) and dandy brandy (a copper spice). It’s everything you need to create (or touch up) your entire face once you’ve put on your concealer or foundation. Like Powderazzi, the small versions are perfect for travel – you can either throw the entire kit into your bag or just take out the ones that you need for that day.

These are only two of the many Benefit holiday options for 2009, so be sure to check out all the rest on www.Benefit.com. (P.S. If you place an order, I highly recommend adding BADgal plum mascara to your shopping cart as well. I recently tried it and I’m loving the thick, full lashes it gives me and the fun purplish shade!)
