Benefit spring 2017 dandelion twinkle galifornia hoola lite hoola contour

If Benefit has one talent in this world, it is packaging. And brows, I suppose those too. But seriously, before we even get into what is inside these beauties, can we take a moment to enjoy just how beautiful the packaging is? When Benefit sent me these four gems, I was over the moon. Mainly because I was already seriously considering buying three of them and this delivery saved me some serious money. But annnnyways, let's get into the good stuff!

Galifornia
is Benefit's newest blush, and has me thinking back to my first time in California when I had the chance to visit Disney. PS-- this framed post card will be making its way to my gallery wall sometime between writing this and posting it. This sunny golden-pink blush has a golden shimmer overlay and a print of the sun. Inspired by the surfer girls of the 70s, this blush is the perfect pop of colour for a natural flush (but be careful-- its pigmented!). I like it on me now, but I know it will look so great once I have a bit of a tan! - $38, Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora

Dandelion Twinkle is Benefit's latest highlighter. The original Dandelion was my first high end blush, I got it in a 500 point gift back when I was in high school. I have since used it, broke it, fixed it, used it and replaced it. I was so excited when I saw that Benefit was releasing a powder highlighter! This champagne shimmer is sheer and light weight with a delicate blossom scent. $38, Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora.

Not only is Benefit expanding its Dandelion collection, but they are also expanding their beloved Hoola line...

Hoola Lite is a matte bronzer, just like the original Hoola, only lighter. While I find the original Hoola looks just fine on me, I think that this lighter version would  be great for me in the winter when I want to add a hint of warmth. Given that I am quite pale I find this bronzer to be flattering on me. I hope that they will also come out with "Hoola Dark" so more ladies can enjoy this bronzer! $38 Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora

Hoola Quickie Contour Stick features a cream-to-powder matte formula that is easy to use to create a quick contour. WhileI don't tend to reach for cream contour products (I find they stay greasy too long) I love that this dries down to a powder. $38 Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora.

Have you had a chance to try any of these new Benefit products? If I had to pick a favourite I would pick the Galifornia blush. I think it will be so perfect as spring transitions to summer. I can't wait to get a bit of a tan-- I love coral blush with summer tans!
