I have all the palettes in the W@orld Famous Neutrals series, and this one happens to be my favorite out of the three. The colors don't look like much in the pan, but they go really well together and compliment my brown eyes well. Let's have a lookie :)
So as you can see it looks like a little book! I adore the packaging, it's so freaking cute.
And yes, there is a hidden mirror behind the step by step guide :)
Swatches, dry and on bare skin:
The pigmentation improves over a primer but overall they are pretty good. The silver is the most pigmented color in the palette, the light matte pink/lavender fares pretty well on my lids. The shimmery white is light enough to be used on the brow bone, and the darker purple doesn't turn black eye when you apply.
Here are the cream shades
Overall this palette is really nice. The colors are a bit unusual for a neutral palette but I really like the variety. These palettes as a whole aren't super in your face pigmented, but they work to create a natural look very well. The cream shadows are also a nice addition that can be worn by themselves or as a base. They don't really crease on me either so another good bonus.
I have a video review including a tutorial if you are interested:

Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss Review
These new glosses from Benefit are really fun, here's my review ;)
Left to right-
Coralista: a sheer coral
Bella Bamba: a sheer bright watermelon
Sugarbomb: a shimmering pinky nude
Dallas: a dusty rose
Dandelion: soft pearly pink
Hoola:a shimmering golden nude
Overall I really like these glosses. They are mostly sheer but Dallas and Sugarbomb have a little bit more pigment. Some have shimmer particles but they are fine and add a nice sparkle to the lips. My favroite is Dallas for the pigmentation but they are all so easy to use and throw in your purse.
All of them are non sticky and have a slight smell to them. I think it's a cherry smell, kinda fruity but I really like it. The squeeze tube is nice to be able to quickly apply and the curvature of the tube's tip allows for easy application.
Lovesit!! $16 @Ulta & Sephora

Benefit One Prime Day Review
So I have another review of a Benefit sample set. Generally I really like this set, especially the fact that it's only $10 (whereas the previous set I reviewed was $15).
Here's some pictures :)
Here is the pore professional. As you can see it is tinted a beige color. Look closely at the picture before and the picture after. Hopefully you can tell that the back of my hand looks a lot smoother after the product is blended out. Honestly this is a miracle product to me and when I run out I will buy the full size.
Here is the stay don't stray primer. I'm really not the biggest fan of this product, as I have experienced creasing with this product that I never experienced with my Too Faced shadow insurance or my UD primer potion. It's probably because I have oily type lids so those with normal lids this would probably work for you.
Last but not least, That Gal brightening face primer. I actually use this as a highlighter instead of a primer since I have oily skin. It works very nice and I like the pink undertone to this.
Overall I liked this set and for ten bucks you get to try a variety of products. If you are new to Benefit I suggest you check this out at Sephora.

Benefit Feelin' Cheeky! Minis Set Review
So I got this sample set about a two months ago and realized I never reviewed it so here goes :)
As far as lip stains go, Benefit kind of has the monopoly. Their Benetint probably is the most famous, followed by their Posietint. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of lip stains because they can be tricky to work with. But they are fun too use when you are going for a natural all day wearing look.
Here are some pictures and swatches:
Highbeam:
-A liquid highlighter. I love this product the most. I love how it isn't glittery, and adds a nice sheen to the face.
Benetint:
-I don't particularly like using this on the cheeks, but it does add a nice rosy tint to the lips.
Posietint:
-I like how this is a light lip stain, which makes a little easier to fix if you mess up. The pink color is very nice for the cheeks as well.
As far as the stains go I recommend you dab the product on your fingers first before applying it to the cheeks, as simply painting it on with the brush can leave terrible lines if not blended out immediately. Also when using it on the lips apply a chap stick first because the stains can dry out your lips.
Overall I like the stains but don't really find myself reaching for them all the time. I guess it's a kind of product I need to be in the mood for.
The Feelin' Cheeky! Minis is $15. Each full size is $29. I could see myself splurging in the Highbeam but I'll pass on the stains.
