Benefit Cheekathon Blush & Bronzer Palette ($58)

If you already know you love Benefit Hoola bronzer (which is a great bronzer and contour color for people with fair to light skin) then you might as well purchase the Benefit Cosmetics Cheekathon Blush & Bronzer  Palette for $58 (VIB -15%= $49.30, Beauty Insider aka Non-VIB -10% = $52.20) because the Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer alone is $29 and this palette contains the FULL-SIZED bronzer plus 4 blushes and a brush! This set contains:

– 0.32 oz Dallas box o’ powder blush in Dusty Rose (full size)
– 0.25 oz Dandelion box o’ powder blush in Baby Pink (full size)
– 0.28 oz CORALista box o’ powder blush in Coal Pink (full size)
– 0.17 oz Rockateur box o’ powder blush in Rose Gold (full size)
– 0.28 oz Hoola matte bronzer (full size)
– Natural-bristle brush

This is a $145 value!! On a somewhat related note I really want this adorable Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzing & Contouring Brush ($24), but it’s only available online and out of stock:(

Clinique Little Holiday Helpers ($17)

This set contains one product I know I love, the Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, but I never buy it because it’s $39 for a small jar! It’s $9 for a 0.5oz by itself (and only available online) which makes this set seem like a great deal at $17 ($24 value) (VIB -15%= $14.45, BI aka Non-VIB -10%= $15.30). I also have been dying to try the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm ($29 for 3.8oz) which everyone loves. Clinique may remind you of middle school, but the past couple years they’ve come out with some great products! This set contains:

– 0.04 oz Chubby Stick™ Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Super Strawberry
– 0.5 oz Moisture Surge™ Extended Thirst Relief
– 0.5 oz Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm
– 1 oz Liquid Facial Soap Mild

Kat Von D KVD + beautyblender Customizable Complexion Set ($46)

Kat Von D Lock-it Foundation is supposed to be a wonderful long wearing, full coverage, a little goes a long way foundation. It also comes in super fair shades that other foundation lines don’t carry. If you haven’t tried a Beautyblender I’m not sure what you are waiting for they are amazing and I use mine on a daily basis. This set includes a full size of the Kat Von D Lock-it Foundation ($35), a Beautyblender pro ($20) along with 2 samples. It’s almost like if you’re going to spend $20 on a beauty blender.. why not spend $26 more and get a great foundation too!? The KVD + beautyblender Customizable Complexion set is $46 (VIB -15% = $39.10, BI-10% = $41.4). This set contains:

– 1 oz Lock-It Foundation
– Beautyblender pro
– Lock-It Featherweight Primer packette
– Liquid blendercleanser packette

 

Clinique Great Skin, Great Deal Set for Combination Oily Skin ($26)

I’ve mentioned a few times on the blog how much I love the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and if you want the 4.2 oz size it’s $26, so why not get a free face soap and clarifying lotion for even less during the VIB sale? (VIB -15% = $22.10, BI -10% = $23.40) This set contains:

– 1 oz Liquid Facial Soap Oily Skin Formula
– 1 oz Clarifying Lotion 3
– 4.2 oz Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
