Benefit Hoola Mini and Benefit Dandelion Mini Are Simply Adorable!

Benefit Hoola Mini and Benefit Dandelion Mini

Benefit Hoola Mini and Benefit Dandelion Mini are adorable new sizes of your favorite Box of Powders from Benefit! Benefit squeezed 0.12 oz of your favorite powder into a tiny 2 inch box with a mini brush and slashed the price down to $15 bucks.

These little babies are easy to travel with, easy to store, and adorably affordable!

The standard size Hoola or Dandeleion is 0.28 oz and will set you back $29. The new Hoola Mini and Dandelion Mini Powders are 0.12 for $15 bucks each. I wish they were a smidge cheaper or at least 0.14 oz in size but hey, I’m not complaining too much as I must admit I find it impossible to get through the 0.28 size anyway!

These are nice if you travel often and want something light and easy to carry around with you. They are also nice for fitting into your makeup bag for quickie touch ups. But most important they are a great way to introduce you to Benefit powders!

I’m hoping at some point Benefit will introduce their blushes in mini sizes as well!

They include a fairly nice and easy to use flat brush in the packaging so you can sweep these on quick like and go.

If you’re a Benefit fan I’m positive Benefit Hoola Mini and Benefit Dandelion Mini will be on your hit list.

They’ll be now at Benefit counters or online at benefitcosmetics.com, sephora.com, ulta.com, and HSN.com.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Oh, love this idea — because, like you said, impossible to get through one. Although I recently finished a Dandelion (full size) and was immensely proud of myself. I haven’t repurchased, but this might entice me. Just bought a full-size Hoola and might’ve gone for the mini if it had been available, although I feel like a large pan of bronzer is nice — just for evenly getting on a large brush.

    • Isabella Muse

      haha I admit to finishing Dandelion myself Dora, it’s a fav of mine 🙂 but typically I never get through a full size of anything so minis are always nice 😀 Totally agreed! Sometimes the larger pan is better!

  • NikkiNeverWithoutPolish

    I love both of these – I will definitely be picking these up at this size and price! Btw, I LOVE how they smell. Do you know if there is a perfume on the market that smells similar? ^_^

  • Lorraine

    Do you think dandelion is good for contouring or is it more of a “bit of warmth here and there” type thing?

    • Isabella Muse

      Dandelion isn’t warm. It’s a pale, sheerer shade. Not good for contouring at all! Maybe a little highlighting and a very sheer hint of color but not contouring work sadly!

      • Lorraine

        Oops, I meant Hoola I was just mixing the two names up.
        It doesn’t look warm either but that’s a good thing , I was looking for a good contour shade but the bronzers I have are too sheer.
        I have the elf and wet n wild contours but still looking for that perfect shade lol

        • Isabella Muse

          oh you had me confused haha. Yes, you can use Hoola for contouring 🙂 This runs sheer too but it should work well for contouring work because I never feel like I can overdo it 🙂

  • Christine

    It even includes a little brush?! Oh my! I would buy all their boxed blushes if it was like this! The size is perf for me!

  • Makeup_Lover

    This is so amazing! I REALLY hope they add more colors to the mini line! I would love to get Dallas in a mini-size.

    PS: I love your site, thanks so much!

    YESSS dandelion is my everyday blush, but it is hard to travel with that bulky box shape and I hate risking breaking up the cake during travel. I will definitely buy a mini for travel purposes.

    I love cute mini versions but I have all the blushes thanks to the holiday blush palette and I have a full size Dallas (love it). BUT the palette doesn’t have Dandelion so I see a purchase in the future!
