Benefit has got to be one of my favourite cosmetics brands, their packagings are just so adorable! I especially love their eyeshadows, creaseless cream shadows and boxed blushes!!
The velvet eyeshadows by Benefit is definitely an underrated product. They are smooth, pigmented and the shades are very versatile too! The downside of these eyeshadows is the color range. Oh well, I do not mind at all since I don't really wear colorful eyeshadows.

Bikini Line
Perfect wash for the lids. I am usually drawn toward more golden/yellowish shade for my base shadows because they look better on my skintone. It does reminds me of MAC's Ricepaper eyeshadow but not as frosty.
Fawn Over Me
A neutral toned beige. It's darker than those usual beige colors. Very close to NARS' eyeshadow single in Cyprus. Very versatile. Perfect color to be paired with Benefit's creaseless cream shadow in Birthday Suit. Love it.
Rich Beach
A medium brown shade which has a little orange undertone, IMO.
Where There's Smoke
A grey-ish taupe color which has a slight green undertone. Love it for a light smoky look!
