Review : Benefit Cosmetics 10

Product Description

Highlight and contour cheekbones in one sexy sweep with this box of satiny pink and bronze powders. They're a perfect 10!Complete with soft, natural-bristle cheek brush. Easy step-by-step contouring lesson included.

I had this for the longest time since I bought it from USA 2 years ago. I used this very often when I first got it but after buying other blushes along the way, I have pushed this to become of those "infrequent" items. I like to use this when I travel or for touch-up (if I have a long day). I do not do alot of touch-up when I am outside as the idea of doing touch-up on a dirty face turns me off.

I like to bring this for travels because its very convenient and portable, compared to other blushes I owned.The box is not the best to have it being tossed around as it gets reopened easily but what I did, is just to put it in a small padded pouch by its own. It must be small and fits the box snugly to prevent it from being pushed around in the available space.

As you guessed it by now, I am not the hardworking kind like other beauty bloggers who brought along their whole make-up stash for travelling. The simpler the better, so I usually skipped the brushes.

But recently, I dropped and broke it. Sad because it had served me well during its lifespan. I am still using it every now and then but I do not think it can survive a long trip overseas. It would just be too messy.

I have always been interested in contouring because I have a round face. *sob* Contouring helps one to have a more defined face shape as it slims down the area below the cheeks with its darker shade. However I am still an amateur in this area and thats when 10 comes in helpfully.

It comes in a tacky cardboard box with a plastic clear tray to hold the brush. Remove the tray and it contains the blush underneath. The brush is great in picking up both powders at the same time and brush it over the cheeks.

The lighter one on the cheeks and the darker shade at the hollow areas under the cheeks. Its very easy to use and is a foolproof way to showcase your defined cheeks. It goes on very sheer so you have to layer a few more times in order to see the desired effect.

The shimmers are there to give one a glowing look but some people may find the shimmers to be abit too much.

It scored 8.7 on Total Beauty
