The packaging is much like the old mini Benefit set, with the products neatly tucked away in a cardboard box.
Stay Don't Stray eye primer
Erase Paste concealer in Medium
Creaseless Cream Shadow in RSVP
Swatches L-R: Stay Don't Stray, Erase Paste, RSVP
Stay Don't Stray: This is yet another primer much like UDPP. It's basically the same color and texture. However, I was not very impressed with this because I did see some creasing and fading throughout the day.
Erase Paste in Medium: BLEH. I was really looking foward to this one after seeing some good reviews. Usually I'm a fan of thicker consistency concealers because usually it means better coverage, however, the texture of this one was just plain sticky and hard to blend. Also, the color is way too pink. I thought the pink/salmon tone might lend as a better color corrector, but the hue looked much too pink and didn't match my skin tone. YUCK.
Creaseless cream shadow in RSVP: This isn't anything special. It's a shimmery champagne-skin tone shade. Like other Benefit cream shadows I own, they don't work great as a shadow, but better as a base.
This is a good little kit to try out before committing to full sizes, because I definitly will NOT be getting these in big mama size. Overall, I was disappointed and will shove these little pieces in the back of the drawer to play around with when I'm bored out of my mind.
P.S. Benefit also released a new value set on Sephora:
It's called the Beauty in the Box kit ($48) and includes:
- 0.34 oz Full-Sized Some Kind-A Gorgeous The Foundation Faker

I got this $10 kit and I was so excited. The concealer and cream shadow are actually not that small compared to their full sized counterparts and it was definitely worth the $10 to try out some of Benefit's products. It's ironic that I haven't tested the products out yet :/ I have a few open concealers I want to finish and I have a XL size of UDPP open.... Sometimes I feel like I get more excitement out of buying makeup rather than using it.... Do you ever get that feeling?
ReplyDeleteI thought I hated That Gal too but realized it looks like crap if you treat it like a regular primer and is much nicer if you put it the same place you would put a highlighter - I'm super fair though so it was just too pink to put all over my face!
ReplyDeleteBest, Lisamarie
@angelicbb: I hope it works for you =)! Yeah I DEFINTELY feel the excitement of buying. as for using, well I've got enough makeup to last 2 lifetimes. lol
ReplyDelete@Lisamarie and Christelle: Thanks for the advice =) maybe I'll try it out. I'm more of a powder highlighter chick but sounds like a great way to put it to use!
