Benefit Holiday Collection 2009: Benefit Powderazzi Review and Swatches

Have I shared my love enough when it comes to Benefit Powders?  I own of ‘em all except for 10….dunno why I never got that one hmmm must gets it.

Moral of the story is if you haven’t tried any Benefit Powders, for shame on you, you can indulge in the new Benefit Powderazzi that’s releasing with the Benefit Holiday 2009 Collection.  It includes three of Benefit’s popular powders in one slick palette.

Benefit Powderazzi 2

Likey, alot.

Check it after the jump!

I was doing a little math, yes I can add and subtract too, aren’t I amazing? I was doing a little math and trying to figure out how much cash I’d save by indulging in Benefit Powderazzi….you know me always up for a deal.

Benefit Powders are 0.40oz in size and $28 bucks each. Now…Benefit Powderazzi contains three powders and is $30 and 0.1oz in size. Hmm obviously indulging in one full size is the best deal. But dude…hello? No variety if you purchase only one! This contains Coralista (my flavorite), Hoola, and Dallas in one palette…oh how I loves it. Honestly, I wish Benefit would do one big palette with all of their powders. How cool would that be?

If you haven’t yet tried any of the above it’s a killer deal as the variety alone is worthy of the price in my humblest. I rather like the idea of buying one product and getting three shades rather than one product with one shade. Get my mentality here?

The palette is made of a sturdy cardboard and features a glam quilted print. It has a mini brush for application as well. It’s fairly mess-free in my humblest as a quick swipe of the brush on each shade will pick up plenty of color without kicking up too much powder and even if you do have a little dust up you can easily shake it loose or leave it for your next round. As I said above Coralista is one of my fav shades in the box as it’s a gorgeous peach, coral color. Dallas vies for a close second on my list as it’s one of the few bronze shades that’s completely flattering on most skin tones with it’s sunkissed dusky rose shade. And finally Hoola is a universal shade of the sun to create a golden hue to skin.

Benefit Powderazzi 5

Benefit Powder Pop had my attention a few seasons ago and Benefit Powderazzi is no different. The cuteness of the palette, variety of product inside, and great gift giving option makes it a no brainer. Loving it. Total score as far as this Muse is concerned.

Benefit Powderazzi will be available in November exclusively from Ulta.

Is it on your wish list?

i was reluctant to open your blog as BeneFit has some stuff that I really like especially its powders and lipsticks. But I did it anyway.

I was so relieved that I saw 3 colours that I am familiar with and 2 of them I can’t use. LOL. And I do have that Coralista (which is a LOVE by the way.)

I guess this palette will be great for those with darker skin tones and want to try out BeneFit powders .

Thanks for the review and swatches!

This looks really cute!
It would be interesting if they’d do a blush, contour, highlighter package like this.

Yep, want. I’ve never tried any of the Benefit boxed powders, so I think this is a good one.

BTW, do you recommend any undereye concealers from Benefit?

hey jackie! :) def a good place to start.

Actually no! GASP! The only one I use religiously is Lemon Aid but that’s an above the eye concealer….I haven’t tried the others…I should really get some to test out!

oh … I was planning to get the Philosophy blush you reviewed here, until I saw this! this feels like a better deal – more colors, but less product XD

I’ve been practicing, so I don’t look like a complete glitterbomb :P
But I love sparkly!

LOL I always look like one DD :-D I can’t help myselves :-D

Have you tried a big fluffy fiber optic face brush? That has helped me tone it down a bit. One time, apparently, I came out with stripes:
highlighter shimmery stripe
pink blush stripe
dark flesh contour stripe

D said I looked like a tiger woman!

LOL :-D I normally get a slew of bad comments about how glittery I look but meh what can you do. The flash from the camera doesn’t help either :P

I saw this at Harrod’s recently, but didn’t get it b/c it was an old clearanced item (even though the price was amazing!! Under 10 pounds!!) I’m so happy they’ve brought it back — and not just as a “Made-for-Harrod’s” special!!! Yey!!!

oooo awesome Elaina probably that was the old pop palette! This is a newbie :-D I like having all the powders in one spot! :-D

In your post you said this was exclusively at Ulta, but I did see it at my local Sephora, so maybe it is in some of the stores.

interesting marie thanks for the heads up. my press release says exclusively at ulta. Are you sure it wasn’t the benefit pop palette? Curious if my Sehora will get it :-D

Robyn October 15, 2009 at 5:34 pm

i would only use coralista so obviously not on my wishlist i would still probz rather have them singly tho as its the better deal
i am a better deal kinda girl (scottish its in my blood lol)

odd the only one i have is 10 and its the only one you havent got i liked it at first now its somewhere in the back of my makeup drawer dont know what happened we just fell outta love

the Muse October 16, 2009 at 12:11 pm

LOL Robyn I understand For me I’d def rather have more too but I also like the idea of being able to have three colors :-D

I always wanted to haul 10 but it kept passing me by! I think the frosty finish scared me a little :-D
