The packaging is always something interesting when it comes to Benefit, I love their creativity and confidence in colour choices.

Here is what the applicators look like..

Here are the swatches of all 4 products dabbed onto the back of my hand.

GIRL MEETS PEARL - This is a natural glow giving enhancer that isn't too in your face. When swatched it looks quite pink toned but then once blended turns to a golden hue. I have been using it to highlight the high points of my face and it does a brilliant job of enhancing them without looking fake.

POSIE TINT - I LOVED Benetint and I remember when this first launched years ago, the consistency is much thicker so it's easier to work with and the colour is also much more forgiving. It's a beautiful Barbie pink that can be used on your cheeks and your lips for a light flushed stain. You can layer it up for more of an impact if you desire. I like to wear it on my cheeks in the Summer the most.

HIGH BEAM - This is a favourite of mine, I have been using it for years and wouldn't be without it. It's a pale frosty pink that really gives a brightening and glowy effect when applied to the tops of your cheekbones. I did a comparison a while ago on my favourite highlighters, click HERE to see the post.

ERASE PASTE - I was hesitant to try this when it first came out as I thought it would be quite cakey but it actually isn't, it's rather lightweight and peach toned which makes it ideal for use under the eyes. I do like it, but I'm not in love with it. It's only available in shade 02 in the kit which luckily is perfect for me.

Overall if you are interested in some of these products, then this little kit is a great way to try them out without forking out the full price for each individual item. A little goes a long way so most of them will last you forever anyway. However, I wish there was an option to get either a lighter or darker concealer with the kit as not everyone will fit into shade 02.
