Anyone who knows me well will know that Benefit is one of the up-there brands on my list! For some special reason, they make Tacky so cool. And I don't mean Tacky in a bad way, obviously. I'm sure you would agree that they do absolutely fantastic in their branding and their packaging!
Despite being a huge Benefit fan, I have never tried their fragrances. I have mentioned that I am not big on fragrance and do not know much about them (having grown up with a mum who hates smells of any sorts and wouldn't go 2 steps near a candle/scent shop). This is why I am happy everytime I receive fragrances whether as gifts from friends, family or in my Bellabox! I am not one to buy fragrances as I do not know which ones to get. Hence, samples/gifts definitely go a long way in helping me explore the world of scents and make my decision should I decide to take the plunge.
I recently received this Benefit Crescent Limited Edition Holiday Set to try out. Seriously, would you look at the packaging! And I have to highlight, 'Limited Edition' as who doesn't love one?
This gorgeously designed set is made up of 4 mini Benefit fragrances. It retails at $59 and I would say that is very reasonable given that each full sized one retails at $59 - $69 on its own (full sized). It also features the new scent See & Be Seen Sasha!
Yes, will you just look at these names!

I asked my Husband, regular guest feature character of this blog, about his opinions. He said his favourite fragrance name was My Place or Yours Gina. Oh, wonder why.
Then, I let him 'blind' smell all 4 and he again picked that as the nicest smelling.
(He refused to pose for a picture with it even though I could tell he really liked it.)
As for me, I really like Laugh With Me Lee Lee. And I really love its description as well.
So if you are thinking of gifting family and friends with fragrances, I am confident to say that they will love this one! Not only is it a gorgeous set with a reasonable price, it definitely is more meaningful I'd say as it allows your loved one to try out the different ones. Also, one perfume in one box Versus Specially Designed Limited Edition Holiday Set with FOUR perfumes..... I'd go with the 2nd one as a better choice for a gift!
