Just Buy 1 or 2 Wanderful Blushes At the Sephora Sale So I Can Stop Haunting You About Them

One of this year’s standout products for me were the Benefit Wanderful Blushes. I purchased all the shades (except one which wasn’t available at the time of launch) and they surprised me. So, I shouldn’t be surprised by them because fact of the matter is I’ve been colleting and loving on Benefit Box o’ Blushes for ten plus years. But makeup formulas have changed lately and they simply aren’t as good as they once were. I feel like brands have really cheapened up their formulas in the last few years. So, yeah, when Benefit introduced an entirely new range of blushes I wasn’t sure if I’d like them. And hey, we’re all friends here we can admit that Benefit is a hit or miss situation. Benefit is sort of the brand that we all love to have nostalgic good feelings about but we don’t technically run to give them our money.

But I was all about trying these blushes when they launched a few months ago and they didn’t disappointing! I actually loved so many of them! Even the matte ones worked out well for me and that shocked me. Some of these shades are unique but they are also, quite flattering! So, here’s a few swatches, some looks, and pics if you missed them when I reviewed. I’d totally add some shades to my Sephora Sale List if I didn’t already own them! Benefit doesn’t really do sales often! Perhaps, they might have 20% off for the Holidays but don’t feel like you can’t haul these now and find them elsewhere for a better deal. The only place you might see them cheaper is ASOS and I highly recommend not buying from them as I had awful service with them when my original blushes came broke and poorly packaged. So, if they are on your wish list and you’re Rouge totally grab them from Sephora during the Holiday Savings Event!

Jump ahead for swatches, pics, and a few pics of me wearing some shades!

Betcha This Blush Slash Highlighter Sells Out During the Sephora Holiday Savings Event

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Ok, so, let me throw it out there that I’m in love with REM ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush, especially the shade Mai Tai. These launched a few months ago during the Summer and I hauled two shades and I just love them. These are just gorgeous! Period. I’m sad some of the more popular shades like Mai Tai has been out of stock for months at sephora.com! Lucky enough, you can get all the shades at credo.com. Sadly, most retailers are sold out! I felt for sure Sephora would restock before the Sephora Holiday Savings Event but sadly, many shades just simply never came back into stock.

I’m telling you this because another item that took ages to come back in stock which is NOW back again and I THINK will totally sell out is this blush slash highlighter. I’m taking bets on this one!

Jump ahead for it.
