Benefit Holiday Kits 2015

Posted on November 16, 2015March 30, 2020 by Elaine

Whether you like it or not, the holidays are RIGHT around the corner! Benefit Cosmetics ALWAYS has the cutest kits available year round but their holiday kits really do top them all off!

Benefit Holiday Kits 2015 // Toronto Beauty Reviews

Two of these kits landed in my beauty mail a while back and I think they would both make the PERFECT gifts for the beauty lover on your gift list. But who are we kidding…most of us would run out and purchase these for ourselves 😉

Benefit Holiday Kits 2015 // Toronto Beauty Reviews

The Life Of The Party kit is a collector’s edition tin box that opens up to reveal everything you need for a “party face”! What’s great about these minis is that you’re getting the perfect travel kit plus you get to try out many of the best selling products before deciding to pick up the full sizes.

Benefit Holiday Kits 2015 // Toronto Beauty Reviews
POREfessional // Dandelion Blush // Rockateur Blush // Call My Bluff Eye Shadow // Nude Swings Eye Shadow // Taupe It Off Eye Shadow // Benetint // They’re Real Mascara // Mini Powder Brush // Dual Ended Sponge Applicator

At $43 this little kit is a bargain!

If you love those advent calendars you may have had as a kid, so many companies are jumping on this idea – including Benefit Cosmetics. Check the adorable “Party Poppers” kit.

It even plays a little festive tune for you as you open it. I was trying to record it but unfortunately after a few times the sound stopped working. That didn’t really bother me though, as I was more interested in what the kit contained!

Benefit Holiday Kits 2015 // Toronto Beauty Reviews

If you’re a Benefit fan – or even just a makeup fan – you will NOT be disappointed with this kit. For $54 you’ll receive 12 samples of amazing benefit products. I’m excited that BAD gal Lash mascara was included as  I haven’t tried this one out yet! Rockateur is actually one of my go-to blushes so I’m happy to be able to use it from both holiday kits that I received.

If you weren’t excited for the holidays before, I’ll be you are now!!! Hurry, since these kits are limited edition they won’t last long! You can pick up these two kits plus the other Benefit holiday kits at Sephora while they last!

Which of the Benefit Holiday Kits are you most excited about?

    I love Benefit Cosmetics–partially because they’re so cute looking, and partially because they have such great products! They’ve outdone themselves this year–I am in love. Thanks for sharing.

    Benefit always has the cutest packaging! I’ve been wanting to try their blushes, but I don’t like the packaging that the samples come in (it seems very flimsy). These look adorable, though! I like their Porefessional Primer and their They’re Real Mascara quite a bit.

      I hear what you mean about the normal mini sizes. The packaging is quite thin! They’re Real Mascara is probably one of my favourite mascaras ever!

      Haha yes, I think these are best if you need to stock up on your favourites and staples or for ACTUAL gift giving for sure 😉

      LOL I hear what you’re saying! For regular Benefit purchasers it might not be as appealing since there isn’t anything new or limited edition. I AM in love with the collectible tin though 😛

        Hahah, the logical part of my brain tries to tell me that but I obviously just shut it down based purely on how many deluxe sample sized Benefit products I’ve accumulated from these sets!

    This year beauty advent calendars are a big hit. I really like this one, but I’ve already decided I’ll skip them this year and I hope next year all of them will be even better =P

    Looks like a fun set. I love Benefit but other than mascara, I haven’t been using their products as much lately. Gotta rectify that.

Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️ I truly love the Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin. 

For an easy, juicy burst of color this summer, grab yours at @sephoracanada! 🌊

Proud ☺️🌈 And loud, since I have the privi Proud ☺️🌈

And loud, since I have the privilege of being able to live my life openly, unlike so many of my 2SLGBTQIA+ peers. I’m a straight-passing cis white woman, so my queerness doesn’t threaten most people. 

So, with that advantage in mind, let me use this small platform to say to anyone who is listening:

Never forget that Pride started as a riot. 

That Pride is more than slapping a rainbow on something, jacking up the price, and saying “love is love” for four weeks out of the year. 

That true allyship involves action and accountability, 365. 

That trans women, two-spirit individuals, and queer folks of color are the heart and soul of our community. That they continue to show up, to fight, to love, and to lead while facing very real danger. That we owe so much to their courage. 

Never forget that queer folks have always been here. 

That you can’t erase us, ban us, or legislate us out of existence. 

That queerness is a part of nature. 

That it exists even when it’s no longer trendy or politically advantageous. 

That we notice and remember who speaks up and who is silent. 

That we contain multitudes. 

That we deserve safety, compassion, legal protections, love, joy, and a future - just like every other human. 

That not all of us are “out” and don’t need to be; that we will invite you in if and when we choose to, and if and when we feel safe to do so. 

That queer folks make the world better. 

And that, despite seemingly insurmountable odds, we’re going to be ok. 

Because resilience, creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness are fundamental parts of who we are. 

So we’re not going anywhere. Get on board.

Happy Pride!

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!
