Benefit The Gloss ($16) is what every gal wants – shiny, sheer, sexy lips that take luster to the limit. Wear each apricot and lychee-scented shade solo or over your favorite lip color for a truly kissable pout.
My Thoughts:
I have this gloss in Kiss Me (clear fuchsia). It is a versatile shade that is perfect for everyday and a night out. It is non-sticky, light, and moisturizing. The Gloss is shiny without being heavy and gooey. It is one of my favorite glosses. I just wish it was bigger. I use this on top of Benefit Silky-Finish Lipstick in Skinny Dip. This color combo makes for a great dusty rose lip color.

I actually liked Mineral Veil ($19) when I used it. I stopped because I personally don’t like loose powders. I’m clumsy, and I am always dropping stuff. Dropping this stuff will be one big giant mess! Mineral Veil really does a good job of keeping the oily face at bay. It’s really light weight and sheer. I actually tried Mineral Veil first, but found it to be a bit ghostly, pale and flat on my face. I decided to give Tint Mineral Veil a try. I was glad I did! It added a warmth and a bit of color to my face. I highly recommend this if you’re into loose powders or want to try loose powders.

I have 2 eyebrow pencils. The first eyebrow pencil is the Too Faced Brownies ($18.50) in Browne-y. I found this pencil to be very smooth and non-clumpy. It didn’t tug or pull on my eyebrows as I colored in. Instead, it glided gently and effortlessly across my brows. There is a spool on the end of the pencil to help tame my brows and to disperse some color if I accidentally went eyebrow coloring happy. The color lasts all day and night.

The second eyebrow pencil is Benefit Cosmetics Instant Brow Pencil ($20) in Medium to Dark. It is very similar to Too Faced Brownies. The only difference is I do have to sharpen this pencil more often. Other than that, these 2 pencils are practically identical in performance.

Although both these eyebrow pencils are absolutely wonderful, I do have to choose Too Faced Brownies over Benefit Cosmetics Instant Brow Pencil, because it is cheaper (by $1.50) and I have to sharpen it less, which to me means it will last longer.
