Benefit Cheek Color Discussion and Size Comparison
Dandelion was my first benefit powder. Even with all the other blushes and brands I own Benefit is one of my new found favorites. After my first benefit blush purchase I have been quickly trying to add to my collection. The Powderazzi and Powder Pop boxes were a great way for me to do this! These items gave me the opportunity to try three Benefit Cheek colors in one box!
I found these Beauty Powder boxes on Beautyticket for 16.99 (yay) This was an inexpensive way for me to try the multiple cheek colors. Unfortunatly these arent available on Beautyticket any longer however Powerazzi is still on the Benefit Cosmetics website for $30.00
To the left is Powderazzi with comes with Coralista (top left) Hoola (top right) and Dallas (bottomn left)
On the right is Powder Pop comes with Hoola (top left) Dandelion ( top right) and Dallas (bottomn left)
Above is a full size benefit powder ( Coralista) 0.42 oz compared to the threesome which each color is 0.1 oz (totaling 0.3 oz)
Though I love all the colors AND I love the idea of the little three pack of shades. The powders are about the size of an eyeshadow ( like mark shadows, if youve seen those) so this in my opinion makes them hard to use! Each color is seperated from each other so its not really possbile to dip your brush in and blend the colors together. My blush brush barely fits into one square with the seperator. It does take a bit of extra work. But well worth it!
Even with this little bit of discouragement I am not dissapointed. They are all lovely and I will use them often!
Have you tried Benefit blushes? Which are your favorite?

Le drool. I only have the Sugarbomb and the Dandelion but of course I want them all. Great price, by the time I found out about the sale, it was over. Boo…next time. Thanks for the review Sara! Even though they’re small, its great for travel or when you’re undecided-like myself

Exactly! I was unsure about hoola and dallas, if they would work on me or which I would need so this was perfect opportunity to check first hand! Ohh how do you like Dandelion! Im sure on your skin tone it gives you a gorgeous glow! Sugarbomb is pretty… I will have to pick that up soon!

Great review Sara! I so want to try some of benefits blushes but never pick em up…try using the MAC 165 to get in the little space…

Great review – I didn’t realise they would be so small! I think it would be tough to get a blush brush in there – great colours though.

These are gorgeous. I have a full-sized Hoola, but I’m thinking whether I should get Powderazzi (with Dallas and Coralista) or a Full-sized Coralista. What do you think? x

Honestly the quads are so hard to use! I love my benefit powders but I dont reach for these quads often! I would def. grab coralista though. Its one of my favorites for real! Plus if you Hoola is a match for you, Dallas may be a bit dark for you I hope this helped!

Thanks so much for doing this…:)
Is it weird that the Coralista in the full size version looks to be a completely different color…than the sample version..?
It looks more redish the full version-[darker]
Is it the actual box that makes it come off darker..?
If so…they should come out with that color..cause i love the darkness of it…..lol
Is it possible that the smaller version is appearing lighter..?…I almost hope so…[lol]
Which is the more accurate..?
Thx so much..:D

Sorry for the delayed response!!! The full size picture is definitly closer to the actual color. I think the smaller one appears different or is lighter due to the lighting or a shadow. Its really a gorgeous pinky coral. Its also very buildable on the cheek!!!!
