Benefit Celebutante Personal Stylist Makeup Kit

This is one palette where you will find yourself using everything! Benefit's Celebutante: Personal Stylist Makeup Kit is for the makeup lover that wants to look polished with no fuss. The colours are neutral enough to look great on anyone. This kit is part of Benefit's Holiday line up. Any gal pal/makeup lover will love receiving this as a gift! It's no surprise the packaging is oh-so-adorably-chic - no need to wrap! Included in the kit is: High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer, Benetint, Rose-Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain (rose), Dallas, The Outdoor Glow For The Indoor Gal Face Powder (rosy bronze), Lip Gloss in I'm With The Band (golden pink shimmer), Full-Finish Lipstick in Lady's Choice (pinky nude), Full-Finish Lipstick in No Competition (deep plum), Velvet Eyeshadow in Leggy (pink nude satin), Velvet Eyeshadow in Dandy Brandy (copper spice) - Fluff Shadow/Talent Brush- Step-By-Step Lesson.

It's definitely an amazing value. I love everything especially the shadows - great for a neutral look and lasts all day! I was surprised when the shadow didn't fade. All the colours in this palette work really together. It's a classic palette that I'll be using for a long time (or until it runs out!).

Nobody does a "get-the-look" makeup kit better than Benefit. And nobody teaches a novice or Benefit newcomer about modern tricks, tips and textures (cheek stain, liquid highlighter) better than they do, either.

Yes teach. If you've never picked up a Benefit get-the-look (it's what I call 'em) kit, then you don't know that along with quality cosmetics and the cutest mini-makeups ever, each contains a handy and helpful pamphlet of step-by-step instructions on how and where to apply everything.

Celebutante offers (l to r) mini Full-Finish lippies in Lady's Choice and No Competition, mini gloss in I'm With the Band, High Beam liquid complexion highlighter, Benetint lip-and-cheek stain, Leggy and Dandy Brandy powder eye shadow, Dallas bronzer-esque blush, itsy applicators, and of course easy-follow illustrations to guide you. Sooo pretty.

Available in stores in October 2009 -- mark your calendar -- Celebutante is a must-have, even if you already have all the full-size versions. The kit's also perfect for travel.

Other fab Benefit kits to check out include Smokin' Eyes (beyond-simple sexy), Realness of Concealness (ya gotta know how to cover up in order to reveal your best features), and Big Beautiful Eyes (which brilliantly includes... concealer!).

All lessons should be this much fun -- and as adorably packaged.
