I am a huge fan of Benefit's various face powders. Dandelion is a staple in my makeup bag, Hoola is a bronzer I reach for during the warmer months often, and Dallas is another powder I must reach for a few times a week. Now, there is Thrrrob.

Thrrrob is a very pink/purple face powder full of pretty sparkle, said to mimic your faces' flush when you heart races.  

If you can pull of a blue-pink, then this powder is for you. I am thinking it may look better on me in the Summer months when my skin is more tan (fake, of course).

Thrrrob is now available at benefitcosmetics.com for $28.

Let me know if your heart is pounding in excitement for this new beauty.
 

If you resolved to get a good nights sleep and have not yet done so (really, who has the time!), then you can look like you are rested by faking it. Fake it with these three great products from Benefit, conveniently all packed together in a great set called Eye Candy.

In the cute bag are Benefit's top selling fake it eye products:
Eye Bright - This miraculous pink pencil brightens tired eyes for that young, wide-awake look. With a smooth, creamy texture and its perfect shade of brightening pink, eye bright helps conceal and brighten the shadows in the corners of your eyes while lifting the outer corners of the eye, making you look wide-awake and radiant!
EyeCon - Finally, an eye cream that really fades dark circles and won't break the bank! Apply day and night or anytime you like... eyecon is engineered with 'fading action' so your eyes will appear instantly brighter while softening the appearance of fine lines.
Lyin' Eyes - A quick concealing pen that gives you minimum coverage and maximum results. With just a click you get the right amount of sheer tinted concealer that brushes on medium coverage. It's swift, fast, and oh-so sly.

$58 gets the job done! Available exclusively and for a limited time only at benefitcosmetics.com.

Expanding (literally) on the popularity of their popular 10 Face Powder - you remember the bronzer/highlighter duo - Benefit has created the 10 Palette.

Seeing as my 10 Powder was almost immediately lost from my makeup bag (yup, my sister!), maybe I can have this 10 Palette in my aresnal.  I will certainly learn to hide this, though .  ;)

The Perfect 10 Palette:
Ten Powder Duo
Two Lip Shades - Sheer Golden Berry  & Sheer Plum
Two Eye Shadows - Soft Mauve & Golden Taupe
Applicator Brushes

For the perfect price of $28, this limited edition Ten Palette makes the perfect present - even if only for yourself!

I need to introduce you to "That Gal". From Benefit Cosmetics comes a first of a kind product for them in "That Gal".

"That Gal" is a brightening face primer, to be smoothed over your face before makeup application. Primers always make foundation adhere better, go on smoother and more even, and last longer then if you were to use none at all.

I can't wait to meet "That Gal" myself, and try this new revolution from Benefit.

Here is the official description: "Go from dull to darling with "that gal." It's a silky pink primer that makes skin appear smoother & brighter. Wear alone for clear complexion radiance or apply before makeup for smooth, effortless application. Re-brighten during the day with "that gal." It's the "that gal" perfection for a happy complexion."

And while this primer won't be seen on counter until August, you can be one of the first to grab one up at BenefitCosmetics.com. "That Gal" retails for $27.

I have been asked by many readers who do not tan or self-tan, what to use for a temporary, instant tan for an event. Besides makeup bronzers, I have found some great products for the entire body that will have you bronzed and beautiful in just a few minutes. And the benefit of these bronzers, is that with a scrubbie and soap and water, they will be gone!

 
Benefit Cosmetics has Jiffy Tan, which is perfect for the legs. It is a bit of a darker shade with a bit of shimmer, so I would only suggest using it on the legs. It glides on evenly and smoothly and lasts through a long hard day. You have to be careful to take the time to wash hands immediately after applying, as it will leave your palms stained and messy.

Philosophy has a nice body tint in a tube called The Big Skinny, which is actually a tinted body shaper in a tube. Why a body shaper? Because this instantly makes you appear more slender with the look of glowing skin, from a healthy, instant tan. It is very moisturizing and slides on very easily. This cream only takes a few minutes to try, so blending is simple, quick, and easy. The results are great and this can be used all over. Remember to wash you hands right after applying as well.

Lastly, there is a bronzing gel, that is very lightweight from Becca. This Translucent Bronzing Gel instantly gives the body a healthy, light glow. Not a deep dark tan, but a nice sheer golden tan. This bronzing gel spread out quickly and easily too, and is appropriate to where all over the body. And it is so nice and light, with no smell, that I suggest it for men too.

All of these are also great for evening out a bad self-tanning job as well - I bet you never thought of that, did you? Stop scrubbing away the mistakes and even them out - even if it is only temporary.

It is pretty safe to say, that whichever you choose, you will be quickly transformed from a snow bunny to a golden summer, bronzed goddess.
