Having a Benefit Moment

Last winter when I was writing about wanting nice makeup, Amanda commented and suggested Benefit Cosmetics, which I brushed off, as I usually do with recommendations from anyone because I'm annoying and stubborn. But lately, I've gotten super into all of Benefit's products. And I want them all.

One thing I love about Benefit is that while they don't really make a ton of makeup palates, they have a ton of really cute kits, especially around this time of year. A kit with primer, powder, eyeshadow, cheek tint and mascara all in one? Amazing. Plus, this way you can see which products are intended to go together and test them out that way instead of just winging it (as I've been doing).

I'm slowly getting into blush, and with promises to be the rose gold of blushes, Rockateur just looks gorgeous. I've seen a ton of positive reviews of it and every time I see it on someone, I want it just a teesny bit more.

Two weeks ago when I was home and got my eyebrows waxed, the lady really messed them up. Not only did she rip a ton of skin off (ouch) but she also jacked up the shape of my right brow, too. I've never really considered filling in my brows before since they're really dark already, but now I kind of want to just fix them up and even them out. Plus, Gimme Brow won Allure's Best in Beauty, which is always a plus. And how cute is that little brush on there?

Lately I've been wanting to experiment with eyeshadow lately and more importantly, with eyeshadow bases. I had a tiny little Too Faced Shadow Insurance sample I got a few years ago, but I just finished it up and I need another. This one reminds me of a MAC paint pot, but a little more shadow-y and less primer like.

This set, like the first one, is pretty all-inclusive and has tons of pretty products, as well as a full mascara and a mirror! Screen Shot 2013-12-09 at 8.06.41 PMCan you tell I love sets?

I'm not a foundation wearer. I've just recently been loving my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, but the full coverage of foundation has slowly been appealing to me, but only if I can find a product that doesn't cake and lets my skin breathe. Andthis formula has "oxygen" right in the name. And "wow."

I love how Benefit's products are all sassily named and how they have such a variety of products. And how cute is this advent calendar?? I love.
