I have only heard good things about Benefit but I’ve never tried it!
I love benefit make up! The creaseless shadows are really nice, I just ordered 2 small sets from Sephora that was made by Benefit and I can’t wait to try them. Thanks for the contest!
I never really tried anything from Benefit before and I don’t own any. I’ve been wanting to get BADGal Lash for the longest of time though.
I could really use some High Beam tomorrow as this is the fourth consecutive night of staying up until the rooster almost crows …
I’ll see if Smashbox Artificial Light does the trick in the meantime.
i looove to layer badgal lash mascara over my usual maybelline

I love Benefit!
.-= gio’s last blog post… Worst of Beauty 2009 =-.
What a nice colours !
I love Benefit’s creaseless eye shadow too — so much so, that I’ve been through two jars of RSVP now! Such great colors and bases too! RSVP is the perfect shimmery my-lid-but-better eyeshadow.
Makeup is an insaneee addiction… i have too much makeup!!

I like benefit compact set. They are just cute and so functional!!! Love!
.-= Janice’s last blog post… Giveaway Extended !!! =-.
Benefit has some seriously cute packaging. I love all the little blush boxes.
That is ONE gorgeous set! Me wants!!
I haven’t tried any of Benefit’s yet. I did just get DuWop’s Crushed Velvet eye shadow set though. The shadow trio is GORGEOUS and I can’t wait to try the mascara, but the liner was dry & I wasn’t impressed.
I just got back from a little (informal) high school reunion and it was so fun! I saw a ton of old friends and classmates, whom I haven’t seen in years! 🙂
I love benefit’s f.y.eye. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere anymore. I heard they were discontinuing the product. Is that so? So, so sad :[
.-= MariaPaula’s last blog post… Merry FEXImas!!! :] =-.
I can’t buy Benefit where I live, so I don’t have a lot of it, but I really like the items that I do have!
I think my favorite products are the Erase Paste and High Beam! I also really like Posie Tint, so I’d love to try BeneTint 🙂
.-= Zoffe’s last blog post… The MA(C)scara experiment: Mascara X =-.
I love benefit cream shadows too (:
I just ordered my first Benefit product – and had I seen this, I would have ordered it along with the concealer I ordered…Well, maybe I will get lucky and win it 🙂
I love to bake
Winter time is perfect for snuggling.
I have never tried benefit cosmetics but I’d sure love to
try the moon beam! it’s love!!
Thanks for ANOTHER great giveaway! This little Celebutante set is just adorable, and I also love their creaseless cream eyeshadows (Skinny Jeans is my HG).
.-= Katherine’s last blog post… Welcome to Lipgloss & Spandex! =-.
i just bought benefit’s erase paste, hope it works well.
doing homework — school never ends, even when you’re on break!
AMEN TO THAT. I’m panicking over my BA and various projects!
Oooh, I’ve never tried Benefit before!
I LOVE Benefit. I haven’t tried a ton, but I love what i have.
it snowed 2 1/2 inches at my house today! 😀
I think I’m slowly getting sucked into the Benefit cult. I’ve been using Sephora’s testers shamelessly. Love the get even powder and the badgal blue. Everything else is lovely too but I don’t know if they’re so necessary as those two. Sigh. I have so much makeup, this is dangerous.
I’m seriously considering buying some eyeshadows from Stars Makeup Haven.
wow! 🙂
i have yet to try out Benefit, though my friend is raving about – especially the benetint 🙂
Hope it’s still not too late to greet you a Happy Holidays 🙂
Ohh i always wanted to try benefit 😀
Never got the chance tho hahah
I love this giveaway!! I’m addicted to Benefit, although sadly it’s a bit pricey for me and I only own the Just-in-case pack. This Celebutante is awesome!! Thanks so much =)
this will definitely BENEFIT me. :):):)
.-= Jenny’s last blog post… I know.. =-.
Oh, I love Birthday Suit too! I had their cream shadow in colour Honey Bunny, but I didn’t like it. Birthday Suit is my favourite and I think I should try Skinny Jeans in the future.
Thats amazing
i love to have it
.-= shaimaa’s last blog post… Orglamix Review & Giveaway! =-.
It’s been a while since I last used my Benefit Dandelion, but I love how it brightens up my face! Also have been wanting to buy their plum-coloured mascara for ages, maybe I’ll buy that as a birthday present for myself in a few weeks’ time. 🙂
I’m just saying that why on earth Sephora does not sell outside the countries where it is located in?? I’m talking to you Sephora, France!!! (et la même chose en francais!) F.ex. Illamasqua ships internationally.
I never liked makeup much until I used Benefit’s Bad Gal mascara. It’s just amazing!
my dumb benefit concealer won’t freaking open .
it makes me angry .
:'(
wow, you’ve already got everything in full size 🙂

I have a small collection growing up with them: strut; get figgy and skinny jeans.

So right now I am currently using my mom’s iPod Touch to comment and boy am I glad I don’t have an iPhone! Ugh I hate touch screen qwerty! Onto a much happier note, there is this $10 Benefit set I’m about to buy on Sephora…. Or not cause shipping is $10 too 🙁
HG bronzer? Benefit Hoola! I can not tell you how much I love this bronzer. It has absolutely no shimmer, does not make me look like an oompa loompa, and last me all day. Perfect to create healthy looking golden skin and flatter my Asian skin. Love it.
I want to be a Celebutante! :p

Ah, Tabs is so happy to see you and he has so many stories to tell you.
Great Benefit’s Set!
I cant wait to receive my Christmas gifts from myself. I’m waiting on all my HELLZ BELLZ items; HB Reeboks, HB Duchamp Tee & HB Attack Top. YEEEEEE! 😀
After reading about it in beauty blogs time and time again, I recently purchased my first Orgasm blush by Nars. My, how they increase the price here in Spain! It’s 29€ (41.60$!!!!) while it costs just 25$ for you. Not fair!
I have recently become an insomniac,so while not sleeping at 4:22 AM on the East Coast, I have rediscovered my love for Benefit products once again. Especially Benetint 🙂
I would loooove to win this please 😀
.-= Esz’s last blog post… Pretty 40’s dress =-.
i don’t have anything Benefit yet, so i’m dying to try their products!!
I´ve been on the hunt for this for so long, it´s been sold out here in a few hours. I´d looove to win!
Giveaway and Benefit in the same post… AWESOME 🙂
i want urban decay alice in wonderland palette! too much makeup stuff…
I want to know who has the job of choosing the titles for makeup eyeshadows and such. Some of them can be so creative, while other names just make you think “what?!” (ahem, Nars blush in Orgasm ahem). That would be such an awesome job.
i have just found, and am very in love with elizabeth arden’s 5th avenue perfume <3
I want some chocolate and watch The Notebook…
Thanks for this great giveaway!
I recently tried Benefit High Beam and really liked i!
The only thing I’ve tried from benefit is their dandelion blush/brightener, which looked fine on my hands but for some reason is pretty much invisible on my cheeks… I’d like to try other products of theirs though!
hi..
iv never tried these products but would love to try them
I love Benefit’s dandelion blush. It’s the perfect pink for me.
I love benefit’s creaseless cream shadow in tattle tale. It’s perfect for warm skin tones, and it holds up even on my super oily lids.
i wish benefit made more creaseless es colors…esp for darker skintones
Love my Benefit brushes. I don’t understand why they don’t get mentioned more often. Awesome!
.-= Jinnzor’s last blog post… NOTD: Nubar Sphinx Purple =-.
oooh high beam! my personal favorite is moon beam but i would love to try this set!
I can’t wait for my Sephora order to get here, which includes Benefit’s Boi-ing! 🙂
I love their creaseless eyeshadows as well!
I have been lemming for this the whole holiday season and can’t seem to find them at the Benefit counters here anymore…. Please…..I so lemming for this, esp it has some of their latest products!
And just had a bad (window)shopping day……post-Christmas sale over here is like no sale at all! Winning something like the Celebutante set will definitely make my day!
Happy New Year, Karen!
.-= Vonvon’s last blog post… Photos: My Princess’ Pooh Bear Birthday Party =-.
I’ve never tried anything benefit, but I have fun drooling over the packaging at department stores…
i love benefit
I still regret not picking up any Benefit when I was in Canada. I just couldn’t choose!
OMG! I LOVE the celebutante set! I mean I’ve been eyeing this absolutely forever, ever since it was released. It’s sold out here though 🙁 I want this so badly.
I just found out today how to make my badgal lash work. I love my badgal mascara, but it doesn’t hold curls very well.. It seems too heavy and weighs down my lashes. That’s the same problem I had with Dejavu Fiberwig too.. It does wonders for the length, but no matter how much I curl it beforehand once I put on the mascara it becomes poker straight. And I NEED the curl to open up my eyes. So what I do is comb through my lashes with Maybelline Volum’Express Hypercurl Cat Eyes Waterproof Mascara before loading up on Badgal Lash Mascara and before it dries I run through with one of my old Estee Lauder mascara wand to define.. You will gasp in pleasant shock at the result, I assure you 🙂 Never have I had lashes as dramatic as lash extensions/fake eyelashes but somehow looking like I was born with it.
And I’ve always loved Posietint but since I use Studiofix compact I find sometimes that when I try to blend it it looks terrible because the combo of the creamy gel-like blush and powder makes an uneven patchy mess. So I just got myself a BB cream, Missha Perfect Cover because I’ve never been able to make liquid foundation look good on me. And I must say, it’s another combination that works out wonderfully! The look is natural: dewy (the BB cream makes you radiant!), flawless and rosy.
Now I want everything else from benefit so I can find ways to make it work for me 😀
retweeted as usual; http://www.twitter.com/vixendeity
i recently checked out the benefit lust duster shimmer shadows…… absolutely gorgeousss!!!
I’ve never tried anything by Benefit… Your car is cute (:
I never tried Benefit at all, where i live is so difficult to find their products and when it happens they’re sooo expensive!!!
I’m very excited to get married in one yr but planning a wedding that’ll take place thousands of miles from where i live is NOT easy 🙁 But for sure i am a benefit lover! I’m currently adicted to benefit’s moon beam. My makeup collection could do witjh some more benefit products 😉
I had dinner with a friend last night and she gave me a sample of Benefit’s Miss Popularity. I’m looking forward to playing with it!

Can you BELIEVE I’ve never tried Benefit before, ever in my life? I would but it’s so expensive here! I don’t think they sell the Celebutante Set, I’m sure to cave if they did.

I am a HUGE fan of their creaseless cream shadows – although I’ve had them put away in favor of other things right now.
I also LOVE posie tint – awesome stuff.
.-= Heather’s last blog post… [Travel / Adventures] 071. Visit Houston (part 3) =-.
A couple of years ago, I went thru a phase of madness about buying Benefit products….I think at 1 point I had like half their line 😛 My fav. product is prob. the ten powder, it’s such a en easy way to get a glowy, slightly contoured look.
Hey Karen.. I’ve been following your blog from Norway… this benefit’s debutante set is like… a fantasy for me.. because there is no way I could ever get it, anything from debutante, as sephora doesnt ship things to norway…. if you would let me win this, you would give a girl 22/student a chance to try out the products she has been only dreaming of and read about… I mean, everybody is talking about benefit.. and esp their e/s and their highlighter… others may get this prize, but let me tell you… no other girl will be more thankful then me.. anyways, I hope everybody here has a great day..
I LOVE Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit too! I’ve been wearing it non-stop lately, it’s so damn pretty.
I wish christmas would not end, and I could leave up my tree with all its fairy lights on for the entire year. We are moving into our newly built house next year, I hope I can find someway of sneaking in a few lights here and there.
I love benefit!
I love my Benefit blush!
.-= Jennifer’s last blog post… MSC: Candied Sweet Potato =-.
I love Benefit That Gal, I wear it under my regular make up or alone when I’ in a hurry
Oh yeah, as I’ve commented before, you are are the reason I bought Birthday Suit and it is one of the many reasons I adore this blog. Yay!
Hi Karen! I love your blog!!!
I’ve tried a few benefit products so far ( The It Stick and You Rebel Lite Tinted Moisturizer). They’re ok, I thought I’d be more impressed for the price. They feel nice on my skin but don’t do as good as a job evening it out. I think this set would be a great way to try a different variety of Benefit products, like the eyeshadows,the Dallas blush, lipsticks, and the Benetint I’ve been dying to try. I have a feeling some products are better than others. Sign me up for this contest please!
Also I’m currently looking for a light foundation for fair skin. Do you have any suggestions? Is it best to go to a counter to get color matched? And which would you suggest?
Great set!
.-= Suzanne’s last blog post… MAC Taupographic Shadestick =-.
I have never used anything by Benefit, I have browsed their section at Macys and Sephora several times, but I always end up back at the MAC counter. I would love to try some of their products though, and this seems like a great package for that.
Great giveaway!!!I love Benefit!
I love Benefit! I have the Hoola Bronzer and High Beam. I love the quality and packaging.
I love benefit make up! Thanks for this great giveaway!
This would be a wonderful set to keep at my SO’s house so I don’t have to cart my makeup back and forth!! Thanks for the chance to win, Karen.
i never own anything from benefit, but the packaging Celebutante Set is really cute, it looks like a clutch and it’s pink!
<3Elle
Hope you’re having a good day!
I like cheese. And makeup too, of course!
I’ve used a few Benefit products in the past and liked them, but I’ve never tried anything in this kit besides another shade of their lipstick. All these products look exciting and I’d love to try them out!
Love Benefit’s Lady Choice, so yummy : )
I hope my mom has a great day at work today.
Hell yeah Benefit! I loooove High Beam and Bad Gal Lash. Gift sets like this one are so perfect when you have no idea what products you want to buy/try.
I want this sooooo bad…. Wish me luck
I think Benefit’s Angled Brush is perfect for applying wet eye shadow as an eye liner. The angle provides ease of usage so you don’t need to strech your eye lids.
Benefit’s high brow makes the awesomest highlighter! Love it!
My post about anything at all is HAPPY HUMP-DAY, Ladies!
i am still up! i swear i have the worst sleeping habits!
Love Benefit Dandelion, just bought Coralista . Would love to win this! =)
So I don’t have anything from Benefit, this would be a great intro to Benefit!
LOVE LOVE LOVE high beam and benetint. who doesn’t?
I love benefit products!
I haven’t tried anything from this line yet, can you believe it?
.-= tammigirl’s last blog post… Slanket/Snuggie Update #1 =-.
oh girl..my face be needin some of that benetint!
This kit would be such a great way for me to start a love affair with Benfit! My husband would kill me if I fell in love with any more lines! On a completely different note-What is the best and fastest way to get rid of one of those nasty huge zits that are “underground”? It hurts and is red/inflamed. But it keeps hiding. Help!!??
The only Benefit product I have is the bad gal lash which I love to bits. Would really love to try out most of their products but it is so expensive. However, I do love their packaging.
Makeup is my best friend!
That would be the perfect New Years present for me!
I still cant get over how ADORABLE Benefit’s packaging is! Im sucked in…everytime.
Sugarbomb is my newest fave! ♥
High beam is the best highlighter…ever. Point blank!
I was going to get myself a Benefit gift set for Christmas, but I didNT! =)
Oh please let me win this 😉 I would love to try this.
hah thats the lipgloss i was telling you abt in my comment the other day
i am with the band its totally my fave !
Hi!
I’d love to try CORALista and cream eyeshadows but I think this set is wonderful!
I can’t live without Dallas, feels so good when wearing it.
I’ll be too pale without this amazing blush/bronzer =) Love it, love it!
You’re….AWESOME!!!!
i have a craving for strawberries 🙂
gotta love benefit’s boxed powders!
Great Giveaway. I would love to win this set!
Lovely giveaway, thanks Karen! Benefit is my new fave makeup brand. I started liking hem a lot! When I lived in SF, I was not that into it but now they have lots more variety and great products! Currently I’m loving their sugarbomb 🙂
The only thing I own by benefit is Coralista blush and I adore it…Celebutante set would be so nice….Have a great day, Karen!!
I’m still jealous that you got to spend the holidays in Hawaii! It’s been cold and snowy here in the middle of America. Some Benefit would really help to keep me from getting the cold weather blues!

Another fantastic giveaway doll! So many Benefit products I haven’t been able to try! Hope everyone has a great day, and good luck! ^_^
I have to say, I was really surprised with Benefit products, especially their lipsticks. I have them in two shades: Skinny Dip and Swoonderful. I really like the creamy formula–they’re not drying at all. And I like how the cases have a nice weight to them. Anyhow, thank you so much for the opportunity and happy holidays!
And my Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/natalie647
Have you seen their catalogs or website? Do, because the girls at Benefit have a great sense of fun & humor.

Love me some benetint, but had one break all over my bathroom once. I had to re-paint the walls before we moved, and never did quite get the pink out of the tile grout

I’m obsessed with Benetint–works so nicely!
Love to look at the Benefit boxes and it’s hard to choose just one 🙂 Thanks
I’ve only tried BeneFit’s lipsticks and love them. I tried to get this pack at my local Sephora but it was sold out 🙁
I’ve been dying to get my hands on this kit, but haven’t found one. Obviously, I didn’t buy it in time, lol!
I’ve never tried anything from Benefit other than the creaseless cream shadows, which I love! But I would absolutely like to try more! 🙂
I love Benefit. I tried to buy that set, but it was sold out everywhere.
I’ve heard great things about Benefit’s lipsticks/lipglosses! I need to try them out.
oo a cream eyeshadow? I’ve been looking for a good one! I’ll have to try it
Just ordered sth from Benefit’s website! They have some stuffs on sale now! Can’t wait to receive the package!!
Hope I win this too so I can try everything out!!!
Oooohhh, I love Benefit! What a great giveaway!!
I love Dallas. It’s very flattering and pretty much the perfect split between blush and bronzer. My hubby bought me sugarbomb for chistmas, and that’s pretty awesome too!
Eyeshadow names are soo funny! I mean, birthday suit? leggy? shroom? but soo cute. And I love benefit. awesome giveaway.

Happy New Year
So I went to Sephora this morning on a hunt for a new concealer, as I ran out of my cheapy Maybelline age rewind; and discovered that the NARS duo concealer in Custard & Ginger is on SALE for….. $10. Usually $30! I’m still giddy over my savings 🙂
This is a great giveaway! Hmm, I could tell you about how today I had my first fall of the winter. Right on my butt, in front of enough people to be embarrassed.
just woke up and this is one of the first things i am doing XD
it is snowing here again and i am stuck in the house 🙁
I don’t have anything from Benefit, but I really want to try it. I’m so drawn to their blushes just because of the cute boxes they come in!
It would be so cool to win! 🙂
Benefit = LOVE.
Benetint is my fave! I use it everyday underneath my cream blush (nars multiple in orgasm) so the color stays on all day.
.-= ellie’s last blog post… People we dislike for good reasons =-.

Gosh Karen, could you have a cooler giveaway if you tried? You are awesome, thank you!!! 🙂
i would love high beam!! ive been wanting that for forever!!
What a wonderful way to end 2009 – by giving away fantastic products!
I love Benefit’s full finish lipsticks. They stay on a good amount of time and are not heavy on the lips.
I would luv me some great makeup to start off the new year!
i have a serious cold. my throat feels like sandpaper, i feel a cough with every breath, my nose is a mucus tsunami, i can actually feel this cold in my ears! so please Karen, if this cold be the death of me, let me have the benefit celebutante. tis my dieing wish, lol 😛
Benefit is amazing – I don’t think I could live without my Benetint! I can’t wait to try out Sugar Bomb – everyone keeps raving about it 🙂
I wish they included moonbeam in this set as well. Oh well, this still looks really awesome.

i love all the benefit products! this looks like a great set for the price.
Benefit has such innovative products. I have the the creaseless eyeshadow set from sephora, but I wish I had colors that showed on me better because I love the texture.
This kit looks like its got all of Benifit’s best products!
I just started getting into Benefit. I absolutely LOVE their erase paste! totally removes my under eye circles from all that late nigh studying haha. I want to try more of their products, but they’re kind of pricey. Love your blog!!
I need this to uplift my spirits …my 7 months preggo and i feel like i need a mini make over … always wanted to try these products and this would be the perfect time to find a new glow !
I love Benefit. Hope I’ll win!!!
Welcome back Karen! I’m sure Tabs has missed his assistant terribly. 😛 My pot of Birthday Suit actually doesn’t get used that much… I don’t ever know what to use with it.

I’ve always wanted to try benefit’s lipsticks. i got a sample of positint and really thought it solidly filled a certain need in one’ s makeup bag.

Ooh, this set looks gorgeous!
Wishing you a makeup-tastic 2010, Karen — thanks for the blog!!!
I just bought Coralista and it’s definitely my favorite blush ever!
I liked Coralista, now I would love to try more Benefit… looks lots of fun to play with.
Wow, gorgeous set!
I’ve only used a few benefit products.. high beam (LOVE!) and a few lipglosses. I think that is it.
Would love to try out this set! 😀

The Benefit Erase Paste! My absolute favorite for undereye concealer! Totally worth the price!
Happy New Year’s Eve Eve, everyone 🙂 I’d love to win, good luck to all 🙂
I wasn’t a huge lipstick fan until I tried their lipstick. Its smooth, glossy color is amazing! Great job Benefit!
welcome home Karen!
I just bought sephora’s mini sampler kit with benefit products…my first purchase from the brand!
I almost bought this at Macy’s the other day but decided to save my money to pay for all the bills from Christmas gifts.
I’ve never had a chance to try Benefit! Darn small town 🙁
I also wanna Benefit’s posietint SO badly!
I bought this peach powder from Benefit a few years ago called Georgia Peach….. it was so pretty! I’m almost out and I’m curious whether Benefit makes it anymore.
i have never tried any of their products but hoping i will get the chance to now.
Just recently tried the Benetint and love it!
Love Benefit Brow zing!
I love High Beam! I’ve really wanted to try the Benetint.
I’m sitting here debating as to whether I really want a hangover
this New Year’s Day. I think I might just ring in the new year at
my warm, cozy home in my flannel pj’s!

I have a few items from Benefit, but none that are included in this kit! I’d really love to win this one!
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?

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!

Me wants it! I keep putting it in my Sephora cart and deciding that I shouldn’t spend a ton of money so I put it back.

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!
