Bright Colors
-11.16.11
Quick Take: good value, a little colors give lots of pop
I love many of the box blushes from Benefit, I'm a loyal wearer of their products. This box however was too bright for my fair freckled skin tone, despite light application. I am returning it simply due to that but the ready to go box was really nice to have with traveling! The little brush in the box works fine, but I prefer using a larger brush in my bag.
I hope they do another series of colors for spring.

I see what the fuss is about!
-11.14.11
Quick Take: good value
OK - so I was late to the Benefit party. I was afraid of Hoola - looked so dark & the blushes looked so bright. But on the skin (and I'm fair) they are beautiful! Hoola is the first powder product I've been able to use as a contour without looking like I've flashed back to the 80s. Color me impressed!

I wanted to love it
-11.03.11
Quick Take: pretty
I've been wanting to try these three shades for so long now, but now that I got them...they didn't really live up to when I imagined them to be. I find them to be a bit too light for me. I'm south east Asian with olive skin tone with a yellow under tone. I still think they look gorgeous but not on me unfortunately.

Review 5 for POWda WOWza
Wanted to like this...
-10.29.11
Quick Take: bad for pigmented skin
I was really excited to get this set of powders because Ive been wanting to try coralista. Unfortunately none of these colors showed up on my skin at all.. my best friend said she couldnt tell i was wearing blush at all..to me it was just a shimmery white cast. Not good for medium dark/ dark skin tones. Probably won't be buying anything from Benefit again, colors are not dark skin friendly.

Great set!
-10.19.11
Quick Take: good value, good gift
I love this box powder set. Its a great way to try 3 powders. I think these are a nice size. Plenty of product to great a great amount of use out of each. I like that they included hoola in it also so you can get a bronzer...makes it easy to travel with. If you have been thinking about trying a benefit boxed powder I think this is good value.

Review 10 for POWda WOWza
ECONOMICAL WAY TO TRY 3 OF BENEFIT'S TOP SELLERS
-10.08.11
If you haven't tried Benefit's Boxed Powders, this is an exceptional way to try three top sellers, all conveniently packaged in one box. These powders look to be about 1/3 of a full sized powder cake, so the three shades are probably about equal, in total, to one full sized powder, give or take a little. If you love Benefit boxed powders, you might like this as a travel trio. The powders are silky, and blend into my skin. A mini-brush is included for easy application. The powder can be applied lightly, if you have pale skin, and layered for a deeper more intense application, for other skin tones.
Bella Bamba is pretty and I like it a lot. It's a nice deeper pink - best described as watermelon pink - with a bit of gold, but not gold that overpowers. It works really well with my pale skin when applied with a light hand, and is nice for nighttime, when I don't need a particularly natural look, because, let's face it, anything with gold or anything shimmer isn't going to look natural since we don't have gold in our skin. Bella Bamba can be layered for deeper intensity, and is perfect for everyone, no matter what your age or skin tone. While I don't use foundation, I do sometimes layer this over Benefit's That Gal primer, and sometimes I use it alone. The powder itself blends well, and doesn't fade out or rub away during an evening. I've been very pleased with Bella Bamba.
CORALista looks very natural, and the peach shade any time of year. It's nice in the summer, since it looks sunkissed, and worked so well in fall and winter, because it coordinates well with the deeper darker eye makeup, more popular in the fall and winter. I often gravitate toward pink based blushes, which is possibly a mistake, as the coral shades seem to look warmer. It looks like the blush is me, and not something artificial. While I only use this lightly, since I have pale skin, CORALista can be layered for more intense deeper application.
.
Hoola is very natural looking bronzing powder which gives skin a nice bronzed look. By applying this lightly to my pale skin, I get a really naturally bronzed look. Therefore, it should work for most skin tones. You can layer it to deepen the shade, if you need to. It's a matte bronzer, so looks very natural. I love all the Benefit powders, although some have a shimmery look to them. This one is probably the most natural looking of all the Benefit bronzers. It looks very very natural. I have a problem with some bronzers, because they look dirty on my pale skin, but this is so natural looking that it never looks "dirty." It's a nice bronzer.

Review 11 for POWda WOWza
LOVE
-10.06.11
Quick Take: good value
I've been a fan of benefit for a while but never tried their blushes... I know, I know... Well, I'm glad I waited because this set totally fulfills everything that I would've purchased separately:) I've wanted to try hoola and coralista so, bella bamba is a great addition. Obviously the sizes of the products are much smaller than a full size but you get 3 for the price of one, you can't beat that!
