Review: Benefit “I’m Glam….therefore I Am”

Jouer, Benefit, P&J 050

Benefit’s I’m Glam…therefore I Am  kit was part of their Holiday 2011 Collection. I purchased it with a gift card I received from Ulta as a Christmas gift.

BeneFit Hervana Blush

Benefit Hervana

Benefit’s newest addition to it’s Box O’ Powders is Hervana–her + nirvana = Hervana.

I didn’t think Benefit could out [...]

MUFE Look 034

  Le Metier de Beaute is a brand that I resisted for a long time due to it’s unavailability to me. I hate to order makeup online site unseen. Then on a trip to Seattle, Carla from Product Girl presented the line to me in person and I instantly became a devoted fan. As a [...]

This  July, Benefit debuted their newest mascara–they’re Real!  They offered a one-day flash sale in June at selected locations just ahead of the launch but none were near me so I didn’t around to trying it until now.
