Some Benefit Love

Benefit is a brand I used to look at and think 'wow I wish I could justify splashing that much money for such gorgeous products', and to be honest I'm still in the same position. None the less, over the past few months of blogging I have added some lovely Benefit goodies to my stash through blog sale purchases and online discount codes and today I thought I would write a little post dedicated to my growing love for the brand. Like many others, the first product that always jumped out at me was the boxed powders with their beautiful packaging and gorgeous colours, and now I can safely say that I am in love with these little boxes. I currently own Bella Bamba, Coralista and Hervana and thankfully I managed to bag myself some great bargains with these blushers. Retailing at £23.50 each is a scary thought and I honestly don't think I could justify spending that much money on one item, but due to a lot of luck in blog sales and a fab 25% discount from ASOS these babies could finally be mine. The quality of these blushers is without a doubt the best I have had with any brand and don't even get me started on the packaging as they are just just the loveliest things to look at when I open the drawers of my make-up storage unit.

As well as the boxed powders, I have a few other Benefit products in my collection courtesy of yet more blog sales. Honestly, the moral of the story is that blog sales are the best thing since sliced bread! I managed to pick up the mini sized samples of High Beam and Erase Paste, and a full sized Bad Gal eyeliner pencil. Once again, the quality of these products was really quite amazing and now that I have had a dabble in the world of Benefit I can see myself getting hooked. As pricey as the products are, I find that the great quality is a huge selling point and while I still can't see myself rushing out to a Benefit counter to spend some dosh, Christmas and birthday gifts are always opportunities to try out more from my newly appointed favorite high-end brand. What do you think about Benefit products?
