This is a great colour and a great polish. It goes on very smooth and thick. The texture reminds me of that of Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri. You don’t need two coats for excellent colour pay-off, and it lasts for almost a week without chipping. The best part is that it only cost 6 bucks (for great quality!) and I got tons of complements on the slightly unexpected shade. -

This is an ingenious invention. You can store all of your essential purse items in the organizer, and change purses quickly and easily without forgetting anything! It has many slots, one main compartment, and one zippered pocket. It makes organizing your purse so easy, finding things a breeze, and switching purses a snap. What more could you ask for? I think I’m in love… -

This product is described as a smile brightening lip shine. The subtle blue sheen is supposed to make your teeth appear whiter. By subtle blue sheen they mean tiny blue sparkles. I like that it has a minty scent, and makes your lips tingle. It feels very moisturizing and stays on for a long time. My only complaint is that the sparkles stick to your lips – as sparkles tend to do – and they’re hard to get rid of. I am not sure if it actually makes your teeth appear whiter, but that aside, it is a nice gloss. I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra money considering its not terribly more special than a regular gloss, but I do like it. -

The texture of this eyeshadow is smooth and looks very soft on. It stays on all day and looks just radiant. The pink satin colour would be a nice complement to any complexion and works very well with Dandy Brandy colour as a compliment tone. I am absolutely in love with the colour and very impressed with its versatility and staying power. Highly recommend! -

Benefit Cosmetics Lip Gloss
This is the only product in the Celebutante kit that I am not a fan of. It’s a nice colour, but it is very sticky and dries out your lips almost immediately. I am not terribly impressed with Benefit Lip Gloss based on this one.

Benefit Cosmetics Boxed Powder in Dallas
This is a really nice natural looking bronze powder. It works well as a blush too. Just be careful not to apply too much because it’s one of those bronzers that can make your skin look a little muddy if you go overboard.

I’ve heard a lot of hype for this product and it’s definitely well warranted. I have to say that I like it better on my lips rather than my cheeks though. On the lips it’s a striking yet natural looking reddish stain. Under a clear gloss it looks absolutely gorgeous. On the cheeks it works well as a pink flush, but I find it’s a little too bright for me. It’s also a little tricky to apply on your cheeks, since it dries very quickly there’s a bit of a trick to the application. When you use a primer under it for your cheeks it makes it a little easier. Overall, it’s a great product. -

I am having an intense love affair with Benefit cosmetics. I searched the city for this kit and finally had the fortune of finding it at Shoppers Drug Mart just after I had decided to stop looking. It was incredibly worth it! All of the products are great. I will review them here together as well as individually.
High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer: A fantastic sheer pink shimmer cream that highlights beautifully.
Benetint, Rose-Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain (rose): I’ve heard a lot of hype for this product and it’s definitely well warranted. I have to say that I like it better on my lips rather than my cheeks though. On the lips it’s a striking yet natural looking reddish stain. Under a clear gloss it looks absolutely gorgeous. On the cheeks it works well as a pink flush, but I find it’s a little too bright for me. It’s also a little tricky to apply on your cheeks, since it dries very quickly there’s a bit of a trick to the application. When you use a primer under it for your cheeks it makes it a little easier. Overall, it’s a great product.
Dallas, The Outdoor Glow For The Indoor Gal Face Powder: This is a really nice natural looking bronze powder. It works well as a blush too. Just be careful not to apply too much because it’s one of those bronzers that can make your skin look a little muddy if you go overboard.
Lip Gloss in I'm With The Band (golden pink shimmer): This is the only product in the kit that I am not a fan of. It’s a nice colour, but it is very sticky and dries out your lips almost immediately. Not terribly impressed with Benefit Lip Gloss based on this one.
Full-Finish Lipstick in Lady's Choice (pinky nude): This is a great colour. It is very natural and subtle, great for day wear. The colour is also very versatile and I feel it would look great on most if not all skin tones. The texture is smooth and creamy, and stays on for quite a while. I really like it!
Full-Finish Lipstick in No Competition (deep plum): This colour is a little too overpowering at first, but if applied sparingly it looks great, and is a nice nighttime alternative to red. It looks pretty and sophisticated and is creamy and smooth in texture.
Velvet Eyeshadow in Leggy (pink nude satin): After Benetint this is my favourite product in the palette. The texture is smooth and looks very soft on. It stays on all day and looks just radiant. The pink satin colour would be a nice complement to any complexion and works very well with the Dandy Brandy colour as a compliment. I am absolutely in love with the colour!
Velvet Eyeshadow in Dandy Brandy (copper spice): This is another great eye shadow. The texture is beautiful, it has great staying power and it has a beautiful sheen. It also makes a great liner (with the help of the liner brush).
The kit also includes the Fluff Shadow/Talent Brush and a Step-By-Step Lesson. All of the colours work beautifully together, and like the other reviewers mentioned they are great quality and make for a polished neutral look. The kit itself might be hard to find since it was from the Holiday 2009 line, however all of the products are available individually and I highly recommend all of them (minus the lip gloss).

If you have read any of my reviews you know I am an absolute lotion fiend. I probably own more lotion than any other single product and that includes nail polish, lip gloss and eye shadows. That being said, you know how much it means for me to say I LOVE THIS LOTION! It is super smooth, sinks into your skin immediately (which is rare) and smells mild but lovely. I got the mineral scent and it smells so good; I can’t quite describe the scent, it’s almost fruity, like a fruit salad, or maybe like a pina colada? In any case, it moisturizes like magic. The first time I used it I spent the rest of the night absent-mindedly stroking my own arm! 24 hours after putting it on it feels like my skin just keeps getting softer, as opposed to feeling thirsty for more lotion.
If you have not tried this lotion yet, you should. It is absolutely amazing, and coming from a lotion fanatic, that means a lot.
