Benefit Dandelion


I was pleasantly surprised by this boxed powder. I had put off buying this one (although my Pokemon style quest to own all the Benefit Boxed Powders meant I inevitably own it one day) as I had thought it would show up well. Thrrrob is also a pale pink blush shade and frankly I struggle to get the colour pay off I want even on my pasty corpse face. Thankfully my misgivings were unfounded, this actually works very well for me!


Dandelion is the standard 7g of product in a cardboard box with hinged lid for £23.50 (yikes). The powder has a yummy candy scent but it disappears as soon as it’s on the skin. Thankfully. I don’t want to smell like a sweet shop all day! The shade is a soft, matte slightly yellow pink that builds up on my skin to a very flattering baby pink flush.



Although I sometimes struggle for pigmentation with some of the Benefit powders I will say this. They blend out beautifully. I do find they fade somewhat towards the end of the day but I still think the quality is good. £23.50 good? Well you can be the judge of that. I now have all of them so it’s pointless me arguing about it anymore ;)

    I can't, I just can't. I don't care if it gives me cheekbones like Linda Evangelista's hotter younger sister I just find it so hard to pay that out.

    I'm a cheapskate and proud :-)

    1. Lol I know it goes against every tight arse fibre of my being but I just couldn't resist! I suppose they will last me a life time. And I didn't really pay for them, most were points or gift vouchers ;) x
