It is a bit of a hassle trying to get your hands on Benefit cosmetics in India as we do not have outlets here. But, luckily for me, my boyfriend decided to surprise me with some goodies that he picked up from Sephora in Kuwait. I absolutely love what he bought me and decided to review the products for anyone interested in buying them. You could ask friends abroad to ship them to you or you can buy Benefit cosmetics from the online store, for which I will share a link.
So, to get started, here are the products he bought me.
Benefit High Beam
I absolutely love this product. I use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, my cupids bow and my brow-bones. It catches light perfectly and gives your skin a healthy glow. It looks great in photographs too.
Benetint
This product did not really blow my senses away. But, if you like a natural flush on your cheeks or lips just dot this product on and quickly smear it with your fingertips. It gives you a subtle hint of a rosy hue. Personally, I prefer a little more colour than the product generates.
Benefit "That Gal" face primer
I must say I am hooked on to this primer. I wear it under my foundation and it evens out my complexion. It is not too greasy. So, my makeup looks fresh for hours. I sometimes just wear it on its own without foundation and it gives my skin a natural healthy glow. The applicator is one I love.
Benefit "They're Real" mascara
It is usually very difficult for me to find a mascara I like. But, I love this one. It makes my eyelashes look longer and thicker without too much clumping.
While my boyfriend was down, I had the opportunity to try all these products on, for our dinner dates. Here are a couple of pictures of me wearing them.

I know that three out of these four products will always be a part of my makeup must-haves from now on. I am hooked onto the primer, mascara and highlighter.
If you want to buy Benefit cosmetics and you do not know anyone who lives in a country that sells them, you can shop online for them at http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/
By the way, I hear their blush - Coralista, is worth a try too.
