Benefit Cosmetics has released a great value set which is the Cheekathon Blush Kit. This palette contains five full-size Benefit blushes and a brush for €59 Euro. A single full-size blush costs €33 Euro, so you’re saving €106 Euro with this set!

When I saw the palette, I of course had to have it. So for this post, I’m going to review Benefit Cheekathon Blush Kit.

Using a Lip Pencil is a very great product to wear underneath your lipstick. It makes lipstick even look more opaque and last longer. It also makes cleaner edges and prevent lipsticks to bleed in fine lines. You can also wear a lip pencil on its own, or change the color of your lipstick, depending on which shade you choose. MAC Cosmetics has an amazing variety of lip pencils, having over 40 different shades available. One of the most popular shades at the moment is MAC Soar, which I’m going to review for you today. .
