(I'm sorry I've been so MIA on here, I have a few posts lined up, so I'll try to be as consistent as possible)
So my 18th Birthday was on the 28th of april, which meant that when I saw various beauty bloggers showing a new benefit palette I knew it had to mine. However the fear of missing out on this product was real, so I decided to treat myself a week before my birthday (when it came out in Australia) and bought the palette for myself.
I have never owned a Benefit blush and have tossed up between Coralista and Dandelion for months so I was way way way too excited to finally get my hands on this! My god now I know why people love this blushes so much, they're so creamy and soft and smell so damn good too. (if you're sensitive to fragranced products, you may want to try this out in store beforehand as the fragrance is pretty strong)
The packaging is so cute and pretty kitsch BUT I have one gripe- the first palette I bought had a huge crack through the mirror, Im not sure if this was a suppliers fault or a packaging malfunction but it sucked (dw though Myer exchanged it for a new one and apologised a billion times)The palette surprisingly contains varying amounts of each blush- which I thought was really strange
Hoola Bronzer- 8.0g - matte warm toned bronzing powder with no shimmer
Dallas Blush- 9.0g - Sheer nude pink blush with sheen but no visible shimmer
Coralista Blush - 8.0g - Sheer peach toned blush with major champagne shimmer (not chunky)
Dandelion Blush - 7.0 - cool toned baby pink blush with sheen but no visible shimmer
Rockatuer - Blush - Shimmery rude rose blush
Overall through minimal tests these blushes are BEAUTIFUL, they last relatively long and give the most healthy glow to the skin (especially coralista <3 ), the bronzer is a tiny bit too warm for me :( but I can probably make it work when I'm slightly more tanned but for now I can use it as the perfect transition colour for my eyeshadow!
also side note: the brush kinda sucks and is pretty scratchy- dammit benefit, you could've put Hervana in there, or introduced a power highlight, that would've been incredible.
anyway! thats my mini review- I'm sure you'll see this on my instagram (chelseadawidowski) hanging out in a flatlay, seeing as it's so beautiful
