Benefit Velvet Eyeshadows had me from the get go! The day I saw them on Karen’s blog, I knew I had to pick up a couple. At US$18 each, they were pricey though so I decided to wait for a bit until they came to Malaysia and then see how they fared.
However, Benefit went and ran a 20% off everything sale recently on their online site so guess who ran a little spree to qualify for free shipping and for all my friends to get Benefit Cosmetics stuff at a nice discount? 😉
After hemming and hawing, I decided to pick up 2 colours – Bikini Line and Where There’s Smoke.
The Velvet Eyeshadows come in a square pan and yes, they strongly resemble Shu Uemura eyeshadows down to their size. The cover is white with transparent cut out that shows the colour and the base is black plastic. The design on the cover is that of white doves. Pretty!
