Benefit Powder Pop Palette


Look! It's the Benefit Powder Pop! palette. I got this palette some times ago but hadn't the time to post about it. It's about time, I guess. :p


Description :
Powder Pop! by Benefit is a box filled with 5g each of three of its most popular face powders – Hoola, Dallas and Dandelion. For those that can’t make up their mind which one to try, this is the perfect solution.



Packaging : 5 / 10
- It's their signature hard paper box type of packaging. There are 4 small divisions that each consist 1 type of powder & 1 for the brush. Hope I wouldn't wet it or else it'll be ruin. :(


User-friendliness : 6 / 10
- I like it that they include a mini brush in the palette but the box is just too deep. It's hard to get a nice even amount of powder with such small and deep opening. Plus, I wish they can include a mirror too.

Texture : 7 / 10
- All of them are powdery and smooth upon application. It's really fine and doesn't cause any color patch on the face. (Don't blame it if you apply them heavily.)



Dandelion : 8 / 10
- Light and sheer baby pink type of powder. It's not really pigmented. It can be use as face brightener if you swipe them all over your face (lightly!) or layer up for a blush.

Hoola : 7 / 10
- This is more likely to be use for contouring. It is brown which make it easier to create shadow. I use it as eyeshadow too. (Note : Be light handed if you're using this for contouring as this is quite pigmented.)

Dallas : 7 / 10
- Bronzer or Blusher. This sun-kissed bronze powder can really create a after-holiday look on your face. I like to use this for a outdoor activities because I look healthy with this tanned glow on my face. This is pretty pigmented too. So be light-handed when apply.



Brush : 4 / 10
- Small and cute but can be a little too harsh sometimes. It's size makes it hard to apply. Not fluffy enough and again, too small! It's good to keep but use your own brush instead of this cutie little brush.

Overall : 7 / 10
- I bought this for less than RM50. Yes, you hear me right. It's only RM48++. I think this is a pretty good bargain as I'm able to try out all three different powders from Benefit. You can try your luck in Strawberry.Net as sometimes they do have special promotion for this palette.

I'm so loving all my Benefit palette. They are just so cute and so compact. Read my review of Benefit Justine Case & Benefit Valley of the Stars too.

love,
