My makeup addiction is bad this month and you aren’t helping! :p
Ok. First of all- I LOVE their packaging! It is so feminine and beautiful. I love using their ‘Dr. Feelgood’ when I am applying my makeup and during the summer when I wear skirts and dresses everyday it has to be the ‘Touch Me and Try To Leave Me’ pink balm with the black velvet puff. It smells to pretty and subtle. I adore it!
LOVE their cream eyeshadow in skinny jeans..A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Benetint is my staple for those going to be out late nights.
Even after my lipstick wears off, I still have that lovely rosy tint on my lips!
Im always looking forward to see a review on your site and i always check the site everyday. Anyways, i havent tried any benefit products coz we dont have here in Norway but i would be really happy if i can win this prize.
My first department store makeup was Benefit! My “cool aunt” bought me some sparkly blue loose powder eyeshadow when I was in like 6th or 7th grade. Ha ha! Love it.
I love benefit’s packaging! super cute =]
Wow, what a great giveaway! I would love to try these products.
In regards to Benefit, the first mascara I ever liked was BADgal lash mascara. Although I’ve stopped using BADgal, I love their blushes!
The only benefit product I own is a lipstick. It’s “good-to-go,” the shade that was used on Kristen Stewart in “twilight.” I’m a sucker for products actually used on celebrities!
I love Benefit…I would love to work for them, even!
I want all of Benefit’s blushes so badly! They look gorgeous! I also adore their BADgal lash mascaras, they define my lashes so well.
Great giveaway! Just the colors I love to use
I think Benefit’s names and advertising are very retro and cute!
you get benefits from benefit
I don’t own any Benefit cosmetics yet.
I’m soooo excited to WIN!

I’m so upset Benefit got rid of the Show Offs, Bambi is one of my favorite loose shadows ever! I guess I must have been the only one buying them though, oh well, I just ordered the Lust Duster Trio, supposedly the new Show Off incarnation, from Sephora in thier 20% clearance sale. I’m not sure what to do though, what if I love the Lust Dusters and then they’re discontinued as well! They are on clearance after all…
I love Benefit products! I started using them in college when I was ready to upgrade out of the drugstore aisle!
Deconstruction’s last blog post… Row Nine: New Online Sample Sale Site
I really want to try this kit. I think it’s one of the best I’ve seen from Benefit. I think my favorite Benefit product is the Georgia powder. It’s so perfect for making my face look alive and less ghost-like when I’m pasty and pale and blah.
i have a cold! how sad to feel ill on new year´s eve!
Love the blog!
I would love to try that Dallas blush.
I’ve always wanted to try High Beam and Benetint, but my budget has been too tight to allow me to try. This would be great!
I am not a super big lip gloss fan but i have heard good comment on this brand.
WANT!
Bad Gal was the first eyeliner I fell in love with!
i have been lusting after this kit for soooooo long. i want it!
Nice giveaway
gorgeous! i’d love to win. happy holidayss!
Oh what fun makeup is with Benefit cosmetics!!
This kit is so cute and last year’s Primpcess kit was terrific. Benefit does such a nice job with their makeup sets. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve heard so much about this set, it would be perfect to win!
i got benefit’s erase paste for christmas and i really like it!
I am really enjoying Benefits “That Gal” primer…makes me alive
ahhh my favorite… how could I not enter?!
I’ve always wanted to try this brand but something’s been holding me back..I think the colors are too light for my skin tone..I could put that theory to the test if I win
I don’t have very much from BeneFit so this set would be great. Love their creaseless cream shadow!
This set looks cute
Wow, the Celebutante set looks like the PERFECT way to try out lots of Benefit’s best! I love it!
That is so funny you said that – I LOVE Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit. I literally use it every single say over Painterly PP. It works with every imaginable shade – blues, browns, greens, purples, reds, whatever! Definitely an HG cream shadow for me.
I don’t know where this year has gone…. can you believe it is almost 2010?!?
I love Benefit so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
this look just wonderfull..
I’m in love with Dallas. It’s such a pretty color, it stays on forever (even on bare skin), and it smells nice too!
Hope you enjoyed your vacay in Hawaii Nei!
Never tried a lot of products from benefit this looks like a good kit
Welcome back! I enjoyed your pics from the tropics
Ooh I love Benefit. I first tried Dr. Feelgood, and then Georgia, and I was hooked. I’d love love love to try this! Thanks Karen
Happy New Year! Give Tabs my kitty-new year regards as well! 
Looking through old posts of lipgloss/lipstick swatches makes me sad, as I’ve currently got a cold sore eruption on my lip. Sigh.
I never win anything =[
::hint hint::
lol
I loved the look of the Alice in Wonderland palette by UD but haven’t heard about it since the first rumors! So sad!
Marce’s last blog post… Peacock Look – Tagged – Contests
Sat in my room, surfed the web, and read magazines all day like the lazy bum I am.
I went on vacation and missed 29 blog posts from MBB! Now, I must catch up. Happy New Year!
I’m typing this at my home office desk, surrounded by cats. 2 on the desk, 1 on the floor. They always keep me company.
This is such a wonderful kit. I would love to win!
have a nice day
Love Benefit! This looks like a great, comprehensive kit.
I heard the Benetint cheek stain thing was pretty good…too bad i never bothered to buy it. i will one day though!
I love Benefit’s posietint. it is pure love
Benefit is seriously underrated. I love everything I’ve ever tried from them!
I love their Dr.Feelgood balm. It makes my skin look shineless for an entire day!
I LOVE BENEFIT! Their high beam is possibly the love of my life. It does wonders for a tired faceee!
I won once, and now I wonder if I am cursed never to win again.
benefit has the cutest packaging
Patty’s last blog post… I Have No Words
Love all the benefit blushes!
Just started reading your blog and all I can say is LOVE it! Keep up the good work!
Just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy reading your blog. I love makeup and like to be up to date about it; therefore, I read your site.
My favorite benefit products are their Positint and That Gal!
Can’t believe that the Olympics are this year!!!!! YAY Canada!
it is SO cold here today. go away rain!
Oooh! I’d love to win this. One of my co-workers got this as her secret santa gift at our christmas party and i was sooooo jealous!
I love everything about Benefit!
I love smokey eye make-up!!!!! Especially the bold, bold kind…. y’know what I’m talking about =D
I love high beam and the badgal plum mascara. I also like the colour of their benetint, but I wish the formula was more like the posietint.
I LOVE BENEFIT HOOLA!
I wanna win!
Wow! I would LOVE to try Benetint- so pretty!
This set looks great! I almost bought it, but I got Benefit’s One Hot Minute and Coralista instead! I am lovin’ One Hot Minute right now!
Never Enough Nails’s last blog post… Zoya Reverie Spring 2010 preview!
I had the most unusual day….I was given my first senior citizen discount and then I was carded when I went out for a drink! Weird!!
Pretty set!
But I do have Birthday Suit as well and find it WAY too sparkly for anything but perhaps a middle school dance. And it would be pretty creepy if I attended one of those.
got a new haircut today
my first benefit product was the bo-ing concealer. not bad =)
Posietint is so functional! I like the stained lip effect it gives.
UGH! So I had to wait for all the other comments to load in order to post a reply! :C Karen you should have an iMac give away lol :p anyway!
I would totally love to win this becaaaaauseee I got absolutely NO makeup for xmas
which is no fair for a makeup addict…
Well… my b/f’s mom gave me an Estee Lauder g.w.p…. which I appreciate but… the shadows have no pigmentation, the brushes are like cardboard and it’s annoying knowing she bought herself something, then gave me that… But I would totally love to win something I know I could use EVERYEVERYEVERYDAY and I love how most of it is travel size, cuz I can put it in my makeup bag and reapply easily at cos. school.
I love the lipstain-look so I hope I win this!
BENEFIT is DA BOMB!
Dr. Feelgood changed my life during those make-up on the go college days.
I really want to buy a new lipstick but I have no idea what color to get. I want something bright but I already have red and fuschia and deep brown-vampy color. Hmmm, maybe coral?
BrooklynShoeBabe’s last blog post… Wrapping Up 2009: The Year that Was
I bet I’m colder than you are – I’m in Canada!
I was laid off in August and makeup was the first part of the budget to be cut, so this would be a delight. I love Benefit lots.
This is my Christmas present to myself- if I don’t win!
<3
oooooh highbeam!
I think I will order Sugarbomb with my next Sephora order
The only Benefit thing I have is One Hot Minute, and I love it! I’ve heard such good things about Benetint and the other treats in this box, I’d love to try them!
Oohhhh! All the makeup packaging are so pretty and shiny these days haha!
I’ve never used any benefit products before so it would be great to win this!

Happy New Year!! Hope you had a great midnight!
Oh, my love for Benefit knows no bounds…. the first thing I ever bought at Sephora was their Dr. Feelgood balm, when I was twelve, and I don’t think I’ve gone more than a week without it since!
ive been jonesing to try out coralista but i think i’d rather buy the set with various blushers to choose from for some variety!
