Have you ever tried one of Benefit's mini sample sets?
Check this one out, Coral My World!

| Benefit's Coral My World. |
“Two tropical cheek faves in one mini set. CORALista and Sun
Beam cheer up your cheeks with a tempting flush and a drop of liquid sunshine.”
It was packaged in a tiny pink box with white polka dots. Inside
were the 2 sample sized products (Coralista and Sun Beam) with white cardstock
stuffing in between so everything was nice and stuffed.
-Coralista was in a small plastic container that held the
blush inside. It was easy to open and close the blush BUT the material is so cheap.

It was very easy to apply both blush and highlighter. The
blush can be light or heavy (depending on how much you packed it on) and the
highlighter was very easy to blend out. Both products were very natural looking
yet it brightened up my face.

Original Retail: $12
How Much I Paid: $0 (Thanks to my little sister Kimmy!)
CORALista – 0.1 oz
Sun Beam – 0.13 oz
I really like this set a lot! CORALista gives me that natural pinkish flush (even though you can pack it on if you want it to be more pigmented) while Sun Beam gives me a dewy
healthy glow look. I don’t get the
whole hype of benefit blushes though so I’m glad that I got a small sample
size. Definitely a great mini set for
the price of only $12 though!
This is a good deal, but I would not pick this up since I already have many shades that are similar to CORALista (Sleek Rose Gold, NARS Orgasm, theBalm Hot Mama.. & a few others). It would make a great gift though.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely would make a great gift :) my little sister did give this to me haha
Delete*Waves* Nice review! But nope, won't pick this up, I like my beauty junks in bigger sizes. These are too small to handle >.<
ReplyDeleteHi! How are you? :) haha it's so hard for me to finish a full size product though >.< These are pretty small though haha
DeleteI ordered a few of the $12 Benefit sets from Sephora last week! I love getting mini's as I never finish full sizes.
ReplyDeletei'm with you girl! i have a bunch of mini samples from Benefit :)
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review. I haven't tried much Benefit stuff, so I'd pick it up, not for the blush but for the Sun Beam. I've been wanting to try it for a while, but I'm worried it'd be hard to work with. Did you use it over bare skin, foundation, or foundation & powder? From an Australian perspective, $12 for those two samples is a great deal- here, they'd probably charge us around $30 for the same thing.

Hi! Thanks for reading :) the sun beam is really easy to work with (over bare skin for me since I don't wear foundations).. >.< but $30 for this would be too much!
