Hey everyone! I am thinking about getting a set/kit from benefit this Christmas and I was wondering what are their bronzers and high beam like ? what products are the best from them becaus I have heard different things.

I like benefit. I just got a set of trial sized products- sexy little stowaways, best sellers for jetsetters. I like that I got to sample so many things at a great price before buying full size. I really liked the blush included, hoola, and bad gal mascara. It included the sunbeam highlighter, a bronze highlighter. Based on that, I'd buy high beam. I'm assuming they're of the same quality. I'm attaching a pic of what was included in my set. The thing with benefit is all the products have such cutesy names and cool packaging, etc, which makes you want to buy everything! Oh I forgot, I got the pore-fessional, which can be used as primer or just any time, and I think it works really well and you only need a tiny bit of product. I will absolutely be buying a full size of this one. I want to try primed and poreless, too now!

I am personally not a fan. the packaging on the bronze makes it difficult to carry with you. I prefer too faced chocolate soleil if you want a matte for bronzer the highlighter I don't like either again the packaging the applicator is like nail polish. I prefer Becca shimmering skin perfector

hi there..i am benefit products addict,their packaging are to die for, but i only buy in full size if i do really love them. Hoola bronzing powder is my fave, they matte and look natural. Benefit has a mini size kit if you want to try them. check sephora or benefit site..:)

Thank you guys for the amazingly helpful advice! I think I'm going to try their Realness of Concealness kit? it has lemon aid and high beam and stuff ! I heard that hoola was like Nars Laguna ! and alyse I saw that kit but I wasn't sure if I wanted all those products I afraid I won't actually use all the products. also i wanted to start under a $20 budget haha! if I like this kit ill go out and get the sexy little stowaways ! what other products are really good? I heard different things about lemon aid actually and their oh la la product 

Love benefit high beam
And what's up luminizers but I agree the packaging is a bit teenagerish I wouldn't carry it in my purse either. I think the best bronzers are too face for a matte and Laura mercier for a more glimmer look. Sephora has a kit for $45 called glow with10 or so bronzers luminizers deluxe sample size

I just bought the "in the glow kit which is amazing.... It has the too faced chocolate soleil bronze n benefit high beam, with other products....

I ended up purchasing full size of the stilla lip/cheek, Laura mercier bronze block, high beam and tarte blush all from that set. The stilla lip/cheek I use on my lips (peony) with moxie in trailblazer over it, it's a beautiful nude color

They have another set like that glam

This one 

Loved everything in this set, especially the black karat shadow, stilla and lorac liquid gold.

Erica the point of those is for trial sizes, and they last a decent amount of time given the type of products they are.

I love their they're real! Mascara. It is absolutely fantastic. And their lip tints are truly amazing. They don't chap my lips and the color does last for a really long time. You can later it for a more dramatic look and it's just all around really versatile

Hoola is a matte bronzer, Nars Laguna is a satin finish the shade is different too. I know people who like both for different reasons. neither work for me personally but everyone likes different things

I have the full size lip plump, Erica let me know what you think of it.. its really a lip primer, not sure why its called lip plump. I don't think ill be buying that one again after I use it up. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I feel like it cakes on my lips.
