As a connoisseur for anything with cute packaging and clever names, benefit cosmetics has always had a place in my heart. My makeup collection is filled with benefit products, and I almost hesitate going towards the benefit counter in Ulta because I know I'm going to wind up walking away with something. Benefit is running a special right now called "Build your Custom Kit" (click here to start on your own)! For $79.00, you can choose 4 products from 4 different categories. All of these products are categorized as the "Best of Benefit" and that's no lie. Each category had at least 2 products that I really wanted! Below are all the options that they offer, and which selections I chose. And as an added bonus... it comes with a cute makeup bag!
Category 1: Complexion
Category 1: Complexion
For this category, I chose the "hello flawless oxygen wow" foundation in the color "petal". I already have the porefessional and that gal primers in sample sizes, so that was an easy choice. I am partial to liquid foundation over powders, so I chose the oxygen wow over the powders and the balm.
Total price so far: $36.00
Category 2: Cheeks
This one was a little bit harder to choose from. I have samples of Hoola, Watts up, Posietint, and High Beam. But, I will eventually be buying a full size of the Hoola so I initially wanted that. However, I really want to own all of benefit's boxed blushers. I was ultimately torn between Hervana and Rockateur. I ended up choosing the Hervana and plan on buying the rockateur in the warmer months when my skin is tanner.
Total price so far: $64.00
Category 3: Eyes
I also have a few samples from this category, so it was easy for me to choose what to get. I chose the "Fake-up" Concealer from this category, because I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes (thanks mom) and I am always looking for different concealer formulas to try.
Total Cost so far: $88.00
Category 4: Free Gift!
It was really hard for me to choose between these three products because I wanted to try them all! I love cream shadows, and this one claims to be creaseless so that's great for eyeshadow bases when building. I also really wanted to try the powder shadow because the colors it was offered in were so pretty. But, I ended up choosing the Hydra smooth lip color in the shade "fling thing".
TOTAL COST: $107.00
PRICE YOU PAY: $79.00!!! that's over 25% off!
The bag that everything came in is the perfect travel bag for me to store all of my makeup in. Perfect for a weekend getaway! Now, to plan a weekend getaway....
