I really want to get Coralista now! I swatched it a few times at Sephora and its so smooth that it almost feels creamy. I also want to get a few of the eyeshadows especially Where There's Smoke. I just got 3 more creaseless eyeshadows off ebay the other day so i hope i will find them in my mailbox today. I got : R.S.V.P., Flatter Me, and Gossip which i haven't seen in person since it was dc'd awhile ago. Ohh and my friend gave me her barely used Get Figgy! Love these eyeshadows! And i'm still waiting for new colours!!!!
Does anybody have any of their lipglosses? I want Freshly Squeezed and Friends in High Places.

I stopped by Ulta during my lunch hour, and I caved in and bought Coralista. I originally went to pick up some Too FAced Snow Bunny Bronzer as a birthday gift for my coworker, and I remembered swatching Coralista and loving it the last time I was there.
I rarely go to Ulta, butttt today was my lucky day. I got a Gift W/ Purchase from Benefit...a sample size of Badgal Mascara. I've always wanted to try it, and this is a risk-free way to try it. So...for anyone considering Coralista (LOVE IT) or anything else from Benefit, go while the promotion is going on.....!!!

Yeah I bought this it is such a great value. Get one if they are still available for sure!!! Full size everything, high beam alone is 24 buck anyways. The only con is the mascara is brown and I would prefer black. Definitely a good purchase

Thanks! I actually did end up ordering it online because the store close to me was sold out. I do wish the mascara was black too, since my hair is so dark but I haven't tried it yet!

don't waste your money on dr. feelgood!
the texture is super smooth but it does NOTHING. the creaseless cream shadows/liners are amazing!

Anyone have any opinions or rants/raves about those? And more importantly.. what are your favourites from Benefit?

I just recently got BadGal in plum. I'm in LOVE! I never thought I would try a high end mascara because they dont' usually get good reviews but that plum color is so subtle and makes my green eyes pop. I adore the huge brush, it gets every lash and separates so well. I have longer lashes already though so what I really need is volume and separating and badgal delivers!
I tried she'laq, couldn't figure it out to save my life.
I hated benetint. It was too red for me.
I want to try the powderflage.sp??

I tried the benetint yesterday. Loved the delicate glow effect on my cheeks but it did nothing as a lip stain. I also loved the smell of roses, but I'm partial to that!

Has anyone tried the new primer? I find a lot of Benefit's products are gimicky and don't really hold up to much less expensive brands in terms of quality, and I've tried a LOT of their products. That's why I'm loathe to spring for the new primer to test it at 30 bucks (CAD)
Oddly enough, I LOVE Dr Feelgood balm. I've tried lemon aid (creases like a mother fugger) playstix foundation (creamy, ok, ) the get even powder (meh) and the newest square powder which shattered in my purse after a couple of weeks so no love. I do like their lara etc eyeshadows but at 22 bucks a pop they aren't worth the price
Because I've been burned so much by them and they're so expensive I can't really reccomend anything they make

I just ordered my first creaseless cream eyeshadow (skinny jeans). Can't wait to try it.
I also like High Beam (though I hate the packaging), Lemon Aid, Maybe Baby and Boing. Although their powders are good, I don't like the packaging as the cardboard gets ruined in my handbag.
I use to love Hollywood Glo but they discontinued it. I also really love their little kits but they always come with concealer that it too dark for my skin.

Ok, so recently got 'stay don't stray' their new primer for undereye and lids. It's skin coloured and quite opaque (which is good) however once dry, is quite hard to blend over. Perhaps it's my very dry eye area, however I was very disappointed in it. Maybe it's better for an oilier skin, however I will stick to Mac paint pots or Nars new lid primer (love)

Ooh I got Eye Bright with Glamour magazine too, I picked up the Bad Gal liner also. I'm not too impressed with the Bad Gal liner, it's not that pigmented and comes out more of a grey colour, definitely needs layering to achieve black but I think I'll get some use out of it as a base. As for Eye Bright I adore it on the waterline - I used to religiously line my waterline with black liner, but using a light liner has really opened up my eyes, I only wish it wasn't pink toned as I like to cancel out any red tones around the eye area, kind of defeats the point a little but the fact that it's pink toned isn't noticeable once I apply it really. It lasts very well though, so it's a thumbs up from me

I've used the following:
Some Kind-a Gorgeous: Crap. One shade definitely does not match all. From what I've heard, it doesn't even match the majority of skin tones. It applies weird and feels almost slimey. Not a fan.
Posietint: Pretty, nice as a lip stain, but hard to blend quickly for the cheeks.
BADgal Lash waterproof: My favorite mascara ever, the only thing I truly love from Benefit.
High Beam: Nice as a highlight, but can be too shiney sometimes.
"That Gal" brightening primer: It doesn't so much brighten as it does make your face shiney.
The packaging is cutesy, but the products are overhyped and not worth the dough.

I think some of the products aren't that good, however I do love some of them! Lol It's a bit hit-or-miss tbh.
I have a question though.. Which sharpener do you guys use for your big Benefit pencils? I have the MAC dual ended sharpener, and Eye Bright is to big for it, and also not really the right shape to fit.
I thought maybe Benefit would make a sharpener, but I went to Sephora today and I guess not. I would really appreciate some reccommendations!
Thanks!
