Benefit's new Colour Collection

We all need a bit of colour in our lives (see what I did there?). Enter Benefit Cosmetics and their new Colour collection. 

The new collection boasts a wide variety of cream shadows, powder eye shadows, lip glosses and lip colours. The first thing I noticed about this collection was the gorgeous Art Deco packaging. The designs of the products are an homage to the stunning Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (the home of Benefit Cosmetics). 

I was lucky enough to receive the Ultra Plush Lip Gloss* in Fauxmance (a pretty berry colour), the Creaseless Cream Shadow* in Holy Smokes! (a smouldering grey shade) and the Lonwear Powder Shadow in Nude Swings* (a pink champagne shade). 

First up is the Ultra Plush Lip Gloss. Six new shades have been added, including Fauxmance (pictured above left). The gloss glides on smoothly and has a non-sticky, silky texture.  It also has a lovely sweet and fruity scent, which reminds me of summer. 

New Shades: 

-Fauxmance (soft berry)

- Icebreaker (clear)

- A-lister (bubblegum pink)

- Lollibop (hot pink)

- Kiss you (clear fuchsia)

- Poutrageous (bright pink-coral)

The Creaseless Cream Shadows have added seven new shades to their award-winning range, including Holy Smokes! (pictured middle) a sultry grey. The Creaseless Cream Shadows don't budge once applied and are super rich in colour. I find the best way to wear this cream shadow is to pat the product onto your eyes lightly with your ring finger. 

New Shades:

- Holy Smokes (smouldering charcoal)

- Bikini-tini (oyster pink)

- No Pressure! (rich fawn)

- My Two Cents (polished copper)

- Always A Bridesmaid (pearly lavender)

- Blue My Mind (arctic blue)

- Bronze Have More Fun (antique bronze)

The Longwear Powder Shadows come in 12 dazzling shades with a fabulous longwear formula to ensure for all-day colour. The shadows come in three finishes: satin, matte and sheen. I have been playing with this shadow in Nude Swings (pictured above right) a subtle rose gold. This shade is great to brighten up eyes as an inner highlighter. 

New Shades:

-Nude Swings (soft rose gold)

- Milk It (pearly white)

- Call My Bluff (pale shell)

-Pinky Swear (soft matte pink)

- It's Complicated (golden peach)

- Thanks A Latte (golden brown)

- Pause For Applause (soft lilac)

- Blingo! (brilliant silver)

- Raincheck? (smoky amethyst)

- Gilt-y Pleasure (golden sand)

- Kiss Me, I'm Tipsy (spiced brown)

- Quick, Look Busy (matte espresso) 

I have yet to try the lovely Hydra-Smooth Lip Colours, I can't wait to get my hands on them. The lip colours include a hydrating formula for soft lips. I have my eye on the shade Dare Me (true fuchsia), as I have always been a bold lip kind of gal. This product comes in 10 pretty shades with three different levels of coverage: medium, medium-full and sheer.

New Shades:

- Dare Me (true fuchsia)

- Nice 'N Teasy (rosy neutral)

- Frisky Business (shimmering nude)

- Lip Service (sheer pink-peach)

- Juicy Details (natural pink)

- Air Kiss (sheer bubblegum) 

- Tutti-Cutie (sheer coral)

- Talk Flirty (orchid pink)

- Fling Thing (very berry)

- Wing Woman (peachy neutral)

This fabulous range will be available in May.
