Benefit Box O'Powders Review

Hi there! Today I'm going to do a review of my favourite blushers! Benefit have created an amazing range of powders that all have different uses! 


So above are the amazing 8, five of which are best sellers!! These are all £23.50, so quite a hefty price tag. However you do get a lot or your money and I think the quality of these are well worth the price!!! I do only have two of them, but here is what Benefit has to say about these great powders:

Dandelion - This sheer ballerina pink finishing powder with a subtle shimmer takes your complexion from dull to radiant in an instant! To perk up throughout the day, dust on cheeks or all over face. Soft, natural-bristle blush brush included.
Hervana - Seeking a flush of enlightenment? Swirl on hervana... Our good karma face powder! Four complementary shades, lucky shell, divine peach, heavenly rose & berry delight - blend together perfectly for an orchid blossom blush. What goes around,,,comes around!
Hoola - Dust this soft bronze powder over your complexion for a healthy, natural looking "tan" year-round. No tanning bed necessary! Complete with soft, natural-bristle cheek brush. It's pure colour - no sparkle and no shine!
Sugarbomb - Swirl the 4 complimenting, shimmering shades of peach, soft plum, pink and rose powders together and sweep on cheeks for a natural radiance. It’s a sweet rush of gorgeous!
Dallas - Give your complexion a natural-looking glow that will leave you looking younger, healthier and more vibrant. This sheer wash of colour dusted across your cheeks, forehead and chin gives any complexion a healthy looking radiance... it's a glow that defies even Mother Nature. Complete with soft, natural-bristle cheek brush.
10 - Highlight and contour cheekbones in one sexy sweep with this satiny pink and bronze powder duo. They're a perfect 10! Complete with soft, natural-bristle cheek brush. Easy step-by-step contouring lesson included.
Coralista - Our warm coral-pink cheek powder is your "coral blush for a tropical flush"! This shade cheers up every skin tone in seconds.Complete with soft, natural-bristle blush brush.
Bella Bamba - Amplify cheekbones and create the illusion of sculpted features with this 3D watermelon blush. Laced with shimmering gold undertones, bella bamba takes eye-popping pretty to the third dimension...you'll never use traditional blush again!

I wish I could have all 8! The two I have are Dandelion and Sugarbomb! Although if I was to buy another one then my next one would be Hoola! They just go on so amazing, are extremely blendable and stay on all day and night!

So first up is Dandelion...







It is a gorgeous light pink colour and the picture third from the bottom is probably the best match of colour. You can see from the bottom picture what a a pretty light pink glow that it gives with a little shimmer too. The brush you get with it is slightly slanted and is very soft and I find is the best thing to apply the blush with! I love using this for during the day and it just gives a pretty wash of pink colour!



Now onto Sugarbomb! This has got to be my all time favourite blusher ever. I just love it to pieces. I always love to wear it on nights out, but it is also great for the day if applied lightly!






You get an amazing colour when all four of the colours are mixed together. I have never just used the colours alone, so I'm not sure what these would look like! You also get another great brush with this blush, which looks quite stubby, but is also very soft and great to apply with! I guess the colour it creates is quite "corally", which I love and it also has a lovely shimmer through it too!



Have you got any of these powders? I would love to know what you girls think of them! Do you think as highly of them as I do? Also what one do you think I should be getting next!? Hope you enjoyed reading!

Love, Jen x

  2. The Dandelion one really suits you. I have used my Hervana to death (I picked up a spare on a BuyaPowa deal recently as I'd be lost without it). I really want to try Coralista and Hoola :D

  6. I am a huge fan of Benefit face powders too and am currently in love with both Dallas and Coralista. Dallas is a colour I never thought I'd wear as it doesn't look quite right for contouring or to use as a blush when you look at it in the box, but I am enjoying using it to contour and as a general bronzer to dust on my nose, forehead etc and it actually looks amazing - it's on of my favourite products in a long while. I actually tried a Hoola sample and was quite disappointed with it, I'd been expecting the perfect bronzer shade, but it really didn't do much for me. Next on my lift are Hervana, Bella Bamba and Sugar Bomb, which al look gorgeous!
