balance said no but every other part of me knew I needed it in my life. I'm already a big fan of Benefit blushes, I find the warm tone to them really flattering on my skin and their staying power is fantastic. So when I saw they were doing a blush collection as part of their Christmas range I couldn't resist.
The bonus to this product is that everything included is part of Benefits permanent collection so if you're buying to test out the shades before you buy the full sizes you won't be stung by the dreaded words "Limited Edition". Most of the shades seem pretty true to their permanent counterparts except Coralista which comes off a more peach toned in this set whereas is more pink in full sized.
My only downside to this collection is the pure size of the packaging. Although its design is amazing its extremely bulky. My original intentions for this as a travel blush pallet went out the window after unboxing it as its both very big and very heavy. Saying that, the What's Up mini is removable and from looking at it the blushes are easily depotted with a little patience.
- Dandelion 4g, a soft muted pink blush with a subtle gold shimmer (full size 7g)
- Bellabamba 5g, a medium pink blush again with a gold shimmer (full size 8g)
- Sugarbomb 6g, a mix of rose, peach, plum and pink blush with a gold sheen (full size 12g)
- Hoola 5g, a medium brown bronzer with a matte finish (full size 8g)
- Coralista 5g, a light peach blush with a gold frost finish (full size 12g)
- Rockateur 5g, a rosey plum blush with a satin gold finish (same as full size)
- What's up! 1.5g a champagne beige highlighter (full size 9.4g)
The set retails for £29.50 on the Benefit website, and the full sized Rockateur is £23.50 on it's own so you end up saving a massive chunk! I managed to pick mine up at boots for £24.50, so it's worth a look around for offers. The set would make a perfect Christmas present for any make up lover or a lovely dressing table addition because of the cute packaging alone.
