This is a very pale pink highlighter pencil, to be used right under the arch of the brow to give the optical illusion of a "lift". It goes on very smoothly and the color looks natural.
I also like to use this on my waterline to make me look more awake. It stays on fairly well and looks much better than if you´d use a white-ish color (too fake)
Pros: creamy consistency, lasts long. Gives brows a "lift"
Cons:
This is definitely like an instant mini eye-lift! It doesn't last all day on me, but it really helps get rid of that morning tired look. Love the wand applicator, helps with not getting too much of the product (which tends to look cakey).
Review on: Highlighter Benefit Hi-Beam Facial Highlighter
This is one of the most versatile beauty products around. It can be used on the cheeks for a healthy glow, used on top of lipsticks for a little extra shimmer, or used on brow bone to create a lifted appearance. You get a TON for the money.
Review on: Eyes - Mascara Benefit get bent lash mascara
I won this mascara at Christmas as part of a Benefit gift basket. Although it does add some thickness and curl I found it was quite clumpy. I really didn't find a difference between this mascara and some of the cheaper drugstore brands. To me it's not worth the price.
This was the first face primer I have ever tried . After trying many of Benefit products I purchased this. The product was hard getting ot without coming out in clumply little blobs , the only way I could make it work was to use my finger and rub the globs onto my face until the smoothed out. once on my face it worked a primer. If it was a little more creamy it wouldnt be a bad product

I love this product! It's my go-to when I need color that won't budge and looks utterly natural. I wear it UNDER my tinted moisturizer if I want a really natural look. I also use it on my lips under lip balm.
Pros: Budgeproof, natural color. Smells and tastes like roses!
Cons: Pricey. Bottle cap breaks easily and product can leak.
I adore this eyepencil. It's just the warmest, soft gold you can imagine. It's very soft, so it just goes on so gently and creates a nice halo around your eyes. It's especially flattering on blue eyes. As a strawberry blond I even use it as an eyebrow pencil sometimes. I wore this for my wedding and it always makes me happy to wear it again!
Pros: Soft, gorgeous color. Very smooth application.
Cons: Pricey
I used this sealant for the eyeliner on my lower lashline and i am so pleased it stayed all day. I also used it for my lipstick and it didnt make the color last that much longer.
Pros: great for eyeliner
Cons: doesnt make lipstick last much longer than normal
-Pale pink pressed powder in 10g box.
-Not strickly a blusher as it's nowhere near pigmented enough. Although I do use it quite often to add just the smallest hint of colour. This is actually a brightening face powder so you use it all over your face, not just your cheeks. I use this all the time as it adds something to my makeup looks. You can build this as a blusher though if you are wuite pale, it's quite pretty. It does wear off a bit by the end of the day though, that's most noticable if you use it as a blusher.
-Throw away the brush that comes with it, it's useless.
I have medium, neutral- yellow toned complexion. This blush is subtle and does not give a lot of color on my skin tone. However for days I want to wear little makeup or look tired, it does give me a subtle pick me up glow. The only downside to this product is the cardboard type packaging. I don't like the brush that comes with it and prefer to use my own blush brush.
Pros:
Cons: Price- higher compared to other blushes I have bought.
I do love this High Beam by Benefit. I bought it to add some shimmer to my cheekbones and found that it could do much more. It not only acted as a delicate shimmer. but also added more of a pout to the top lip. Made lips look much fuller. One more point of interest: I have a small bump on the bridge of my nose-by appllying High Beam on the bum my nose appeared straighter--don't ask me how--doing it every day now!!!! Great product.
Pros: Color great, multi uses for product.
Cons: Can only be bought at Sephora or from Benefit directly. Inconvenient.
Review on: Highlighter Benefit Jewels Liquid Cheek Glimmer
Recently in a "wholesale lot" of cosmetics ordered from eBay, I discovered a "Jewel". Taking it out of the box, I thought it might be nailpolish. However, this little miracle bottle-complete with brush for liquid application was a blush! I have never used liquid blush, so I thought this might be quite the challenge. After applying my photofinish, and foundation, I took the tiny brush and applied it just where I wanted my blush to be. It went on like a creamy souffle'. I usually tan or use self tanner in the summer so I look rather pale and bland in the winter--this was just the pick-up my skin needed. In Pale coral, it was an sheer color application that dried to a soft powdery finish. The neutral color had a golden shimmer and the color application was very subtle--not harsh at all. I do not know if this blush is still available--if so I recommend it highly. It gives the face a soft, ethereal finish. I love it!!!
Pros: Beautiful subtle color and easy application. Any skin tone could use it.
Cons: It is a little expensive--but for the amount you would use--it's a good price. No cons.
First off, I love the packaging of Benefit's bronzers, blushes and powders-- too cute! I wasn't sure how I would like this bronzer since it is matte and I'm used to ones that have a lot more shimmer, but this one looked great, especially on my already tanned face. A lot of bronzers can leave your skin looking fake and/or dirty, but Hoola looks extremely natural. If you are a bronzer lover, you definetly have to check this one out!
Pros: Natural looking, cute packaging, applies and blends easy
Cons: Kind of pricey
Review on: Tools - Makeup Brushes Benefit Talent Brush
What ISN'T this brush good for?? You can use it to apply concealer, cream/gel eyeshadows, eyeliner, lipgloss, lip tint, pretty much anything and everything. The quality of the brush is great, it does not shed and it can be easily cleaned. It is one of my most used brushes because it is so versatile and I would not trade it for anything else.
I love Benefit powders and was excited to see that 10 was available in a palette, along with two eyeshadows and two lip colors! 10 is a great product--half bronzer, half highlighter(pale pink)-- which you can apply in one easy sweep. The result- my cheeks look bronzed and highlighted and it took me merely seconds to apply. Also in the palette is a light pink eyeshadow and medium taupe shade, which look great on any eye color. The palette also contains two silky lip colors- a bright shimmery pink and a darker berry shade. A brush to apply 10 with and an eyeshadow applicator/lip brush duo is also in the palette.
The case is a bigger design on the original 10 packaging with a gold diamond belt, which "clasps" the palette closed.
Pros: Great price (10 alone is $28), looks great on every skin tone
Cons:
