Have got an appt at the Benefit counter in Debenhams next Saturday, to have a tinker with their products... Which ones are worthwhile, or worth avoiding?

As a positively blue skinned girl I find the peachy powder makes me look as if i've slept. My makeover lady gave me a depressingly long list of products I needed and I only bought that and the moonbeam. Agree with other posters that the foundation type products are the really good stuff. Whisper it but I think you can spend less on eyeshadow lipstick

That Gal - love it!
Benetint - fab, but too much makes me look like I've been running
Dandelion -really wakens up my skin
Hollywood Glow - Best of the highlighters imo
Eyebright and Highbrow - good for opening up the eyes quickly
I found Dallas a bit too 'Dallas', iykwim
Yes I love Benefit, and it does last a loooong time, so its not as expensive a loveaffair as it might appear!
For my wedding slap, I had Benetint on the apples of my cheeks, Hollywood glo on the cheekbones, and a sweep of Dandelion all over the cheek. It is worth layering.

Went into Birmingham today. Boots had Benefit products - but no Erase Paste. I managed to resist everything else; I always think it looks a bit scary, as there is always a young, black clad woman lurking around not actually doing anything - I'd like to just be able to poke around with the testers myself but I always run away and play with the Bourgeois stuff instead.

Got Erase paste, it's nice, but tiny jar for price.
Love the 10 powder, it's a mix of dandelion and hoola which are both fab.
And also Dr Feelgood, moonbeam, benetint and high beam. Plus various lip glosses/ shadows Phew.
It costs a fortune but lasts for ages, so well worth money imo. Plus it all smells lovely.
The only thing I don't like is that the Benefit staff can be really pushy, I often don't feel I can have a browse without being coerced into a full makeover. This seems to happen anywhere they sell Benefit, it must be some sales training thing they do..
