The Fab 5, Vol. 1: Benefit Cosmetics

December 31st, 2013 by Karen 12 Comments

Welcome to The Fab 5, a new video series I’m starting where I’ll be rounding up (like wildcats!) various lists of five fab products in different categories and from different brands (think best o’ the beauty best).

In this first video, I share five of my favorite products from one of my all-time favorite brands — Benefit Cosmetics.

Products mentioned in this video

  • Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain ($30)
  • Hoola Bronzing Powder ($28)
  • Dallas Face Powder ($28)
  • Skinny Jeans Creaseless Cream Shadow ($20)
  • Birthday Suit Creaseless Cream Shadow ($20)

Thank you for watching, and have a great night (we’re gonna just stay in and rent a movie). Happy new year! Be safe out there if you brave the crowds. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Karen wishing you an awesome and healthy 2014! Thanks for all you do for us through your site! I have to ask though if you can share what is on your eyes. I have been “eyeing” (lol) your eyeshadow for the last posts! Loving them on you. Please please share. Xoxo

    I’m glad you’re starting this best-of series! Benefit definitely makes some fun things. I wear Sugarbomb and Girl Meets Pearl a lot, but I’ve been eyeing some of the other boxed powders like Dallas (kind of wish they were a bit more affordable, though!).

    I love Benetint so much! It’s effective, versatile, and smells nicely of roses 🙂

    Keep up the awesome videos, Karen! You’re an inspiration 🙂

    I have Skinny Jeans and Birthday Suit, and I love both of them a lot! Other than that I haven’t had much luck with Benefit though. I know many LOVE LOVE LOVE Coralista, but unfortunately it is too frosty for me. Maybe one day soon I’ll discover something else from the brand that I love though!

    Love this brand! I just snagged some Benetint today and legitimately made my fiancé smell my lips after applying it. As a super fair skinned girl, I’m also a fan of their Hello Flawless–great SPF, and it stays put all day without feeling waxy, like some other higher SPF products I have tried.

    Hi Karen!

    Great Blog!

    I have a question regarding Benetint, I was wondering how would it go when applied on primer? Would you suggest it goes before or after primer? I used it years and years ago but that was before the age of primer, and true that it lasts longer under foundation!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my two-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my cat (Tabs).
