Benefit 10 Boxed Powder Review

Make it a 10


Hello all! I wanted to give you all a quick review on one of my favorite products. It is Benefit's 10 boxed powder. I bought it when I was in Paris this summer and haven't stopped using it since. It is boxed powder with a bronzer on one side and a highlight on the other side. While in Dublin, I accidentally broke mine but I ended up being able to fix it so that is why it looks weird in the pictures. Also as I was using it the other day, the highlight side broke again....just my luck haha. 


Getting on with the review, I wanted to share my uses for each side as well as any thoughts I have on it. First off, the bronzer side isn't completely matte. It has some shimmer in it, not filled with glitter. It does leave the face with somewhat of a sheen. I still use it as a light contour but I like the look it gives me with the blush I use with it. The best uses for it would probably be for warming up the face if you like to use matte bronzers to contour. 


The highlighter side is beautiful pink, shimmery highlight. I LOVE this highlight. I would probably repurchase it just for the highlight side. I use it to highlight my cheekbones. It gives the perfect sheen to my face and really helps to give dimension to my face. I also use it to set my under-eye concealer (Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in Bright) just to help wake up my eyes and brighten the area. It works perfectly with the salmony color that the concealer has. 

All in all, I really love this boxed powder and will most likely repurchase it! Actually, I take that back! I will repurchase this product. I am in love with the highlight and what it does. I really recommend this product to those who are looking for a perfect highlight as well as great bronzer to warm up your complexion. This product retails for $28.00 at Benefit Cosmetics online as well as Ulta and Sephora stores.
