Holiday Gift Guide : Benefit Cosmetics (Groovy Kind-A Love Set & Luv It Up! Set) Swatches & Review

Press Sample
I am always a sucker for Benefit packaging! Especially when it comes in adorable re-usable tins like the two I have to show you today. Benefit’s Holiday collections are some of the best this year (Have you seen their beauty advent calendar?! If you follow me on Instagram, I’ve been showing you all of the goodies inside!) Lets take a look at two of their Holiday offerings – Luv It Up! & Groovy Kind-a Love!

Both sets come in an adorable tin that can absolutely be reusable. I believe you can just pop the inserts out if you want to depot or when you’re finished! Because I’m crazy, I will be keeping mine inside the tins! 
Groovy Kind-A Love – This set is the larger of the two. I absolutely love the artwork on this tin! So pretty!

Groovy comes with the following items :
Mini Porefessional 
Mini Benetint (Can be used on lips or cheeks!)
Dandelion / Gimme Fever blush sample
Mini Blush Brush
Double sided sponge tip applicator
4 Eyeshadows in Tickle My Ivory, Gilt-Y Pleasure, Shimmer Down & Kiss Me, I’m Tipsy
They’re Real Mascara Deluxe Sample

You definitely get a great variety of products in this set! I probably would have left out the double ended sponge applicator and included a mini lipstick / lipgloss. But either way, all of the products in here are amazing and some of my absolute must haves from Benefit! This set would be perfect for someone looking to try out their products!

The shadows in this set were pretty nice quality. Tickle My Ivory was a little chalky, but nothing that couldn’t be worked with. I absolutely LOVE the blush combo! 

Groovy Kind-a Love retails for $36 and can be purchased HERE

Luv It Up! – Also known as the ‘Cutest Nudist Makeup Kit’ is perfect for the beauty lover who loves wearing minimal makeup! This adorable little set comes in a mint green & yellow tin and has 5 deluxe sized products. 
Luv It Up! contains the following :
Eyeshadows in Call My Buff, Nude Swings & Thanks A Latte – All fantastic nude shadows to create a complete eye look
Mini Dandelion Lip Gloss – Nude peachy pink
Mini Cream shadow in RSVP – Perfect to use as a base for your eye look! 

This set is probably my favorite out of the two. I LOVE the shadow colors in it and I am a total neutrals girl!  

Luv It Up retails for $25 and can be purchased HERE
Do you have any of these sets on your wish list this year? Or do you know someone who would LOVE one of these?

Price : $25 – $36

    I love benefit! RSVP is one of my favorite colors. I looooove their creme shadows. It’s quick and easy. I wear them on my 5 minute face… I’ll just use one color on my lids, mascara and I’m good to go. It wears SO well.
