Benefit 'How to look the best at everything' kit

Another one of my little presents for Christmas was Benefit's 'How to look the best at everything' kit. I saw this a while ago when doing my usual browsing in Boots, and as it had two of my favourite beauty products (pore-fessional primer and boing councealer), as well as a mini foundation and powder inside, it went straight on my Christmas list. I'd actually forgotten I'd asked for it though, and as the Benefit kits tend to be quite expensive I wasn't expecting it so it was a lovely surprise.

Though some find Benefit a bit gimmicky, I personally always love the kitsch packaging  especially the book-look the kits tend to go for (I'm also remembering the packaging of one of my other favourite kits, Confessions of a concealer-holic- so cute). However, it does get grubby very quickly as it's sort of like cardboard, so I know this will probably be in a right state soon.

As I've said the porefessional primer and boiing concealer are two of my favourite products in general. With the kit, you actually get two shades of boiing too, so can customise to get the perfect match. I love the little 'tips and tricks' drawings too.

The 'Hello Flawless' foundation and powder I had never tried before, and so far I've been really impressed with both of them. They really do make your skin look fresh, bright and flawless. However, as it's more of a travel kit the sizes are in miniature, so I will be saving using them for special occasions or if I'm going away and don't want to take my whole make up kit with me. But I've liked the products so much I might invest in the full size foundation and powder when birthday money rolls in.

I got the set in 'Medium' and was surprised at just how well it matched my skin tone- medium can still sometimes turn out a horrid shade of orange but this was a perfect match.
