There’s Benefit to being Sugarbomb-ed

January 19, 2010 Paris B 34 Comments

Benefit Cosmetics has me at their powder blushes or what they call their Box-o-powders. I have Dandelion, Georgia and Coralista and am very happy with them. So when I saw Sugarbomb being launched, my spidey senses were tingling. I had to have it!

And thanks to a little spree (ahem!) before the new year, I am now Sugarbomb-ed!

Isn’t she pretty? Purchased at US$28 (RM99) online and should retail at RM130 at Benefit Cosmetics counters just like the other powders. Not sure if its here yet though so give a shout out if you have seen it 🙂 I’ve got some quick swatches below.

Top: Swatches taken of each quarter starting from top and working clockwise - Rose, Shimmering Pink, Soft Plum, Peach Bottom: Blended together (not obvious)

Once I get round to using it properly, I’ll do up a proper review. From preliminary observation, the colours not super shimmery but it isn’t all that sheer as Karen has opined – its quite pigmented going on the skin if you have lighter skintone.

Sugarbomb actually gave me a lovely flush and glow that looked amazing in photos. Despite its pigment, its sheer enough that it makes a nice beginner blush if you are afraid of blush. Its not like Hot Mama which can make you look too flushed even when you’re being careful.

Incidentally, a few of us got Sugarbomb and we all have different skin colouring! So time permitting, we will show you how Sugarbomb can look on different skin tones – it promises to be loads of fun both for us and potentially helpful for you 😀

      I’ve always bought my Benefit Cosmetics from the site as have my friends. So far so good! 🙂 Then again I’ve been lucky – rarely had any problems with the post.

    I . NEED . SUGARBOMB .
    Reading your blog is dangerous to one’s health and wallet! Thanks to your heads up, I now know that Benefit delivers worldwide and I’m not sure whether it’s a good thing or not (for me, that is). By the way, you have been such an inspiration to me that I decided to start my own beauty blog too 🙂

      Yes Benefit Cosmetics is one of the few sites that ship worldwide and have free international shipping if you buy over a certain amount! 😀 Good to share with friends to make an order. Good luck with your blog!

    I was looking for it in Singapore a week ago. Like it the moment I saw it. Love the way it includes the plum colour! Apparently, it isn’t on our shelves yet. Seems that the online price is cheaper though (plus shipping might be still the same).

      We got free shipping so its a lot cheaper than buying it here hehe… perhaps you can get a few friends together and get free ship too?

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️
