Benefit Thrrrob (and some powder pop!)

So a little while back I had won Niki's Giveaway @ Purple Crown Princess - I won Benefit's Thrrrob! And today it came in the mail, hooray!







All of these photos are clickable, so feel free to really get a close look at the powder. I would have loved to do some swatches but they all came out like junk. I have not tried this on my cheeks yet but the powder was very finely milled and had a nice cool fucia color. Also, to my surprise, it had silver specks. I call them specks because they were too find to be called glitter, but also too chunky to be called shimmer. They certainly add a little fun to your day or night look.

And the packaging? To die for! It's so naughty and sexy with the red and pink corset lace on the top and the fishnets on the bottom. You're in for a ride!

The point of this blush is to give you a sexy flush - like after a hot romp. Or not. I have a few other frightfully matte pink blushes that, once applied correctly, simply make you glow from within.





I also have Benefit's Powder Pop which I absolutely LOVE! Mainly because I find Hula to be the most amazing contouring bronzer. Nonetheless, the trio also contains Dandelion and Dallas. Dallas is a warm plum blush which complements my skin tone so nicely (which reminds me I should wear it more often). However, I find Dandelion to be so sheer that there is just no way it will stick to my skin. Mainly this is there for those "shimmery" purposes, when you don't want to add color to your face just a bit of shimmer for a dewy look, this is the go-to. Perhaps this would be better over a bubble gum pink cream blush...? Does anyone else have this problem with this blush?

Take care lovelies and thank you again Niki!
