My love of Benefit started when I got my first ever brow kit, I absolutely fell in love with it and unfortunately my son the other year ruined it by smearing it all over his bedroom, I was absolutely distraught but to this day it has to be the only brow product I have truly missed and hope one day to treat myself to again. This has to be one of my most loved shadow kits from Benefit at the moment too. For me I love nothing more than the glamorous nudes that I wear daily . Golden shades of brown, taupes , silver and golden tones are my must have shades and when I see something like this it makes me a little excited to say the least.

There is not one colour in this kit that I dislike, I love them all. Simply every single shade is what I would use in my daily makeup routine. The longwear powders have that lovely tone , the 2, call my bluff and kiss me i'm tipsy are slightly shimmery but more leaning to matte whilst the other two it's complicated and gilt-y pleasure are very shimmery. The creaseless cream shadows both my two cents and birthday suit are both shimmery shades of gold and silver based brownish tones. All of the longwear powders do seem to have a lot of fall out but using is lightly and carefully will ensure it lasts longer and you only need a small amount to get the desired effect and coverage. If you do not like your shimmers, I would not buy this but for me I love a shimmer tone on the centre of my lid to brighten my eyes a little so it is perfect . 
I love how the kit is presented like a little book . I have a respect of the vintage style cover which shows an exotic beauty with the damask faint backing pattern. I love damask patterns, even had my sitting room walls decor as damask and since then fell in love . It is quite adorable and I love the idea of the box of neutrals . The little box has a magnetic closing which is always welcome for security. 
I have to say there are three shades I would wear regular for my desired natural daily wear from this kit -
The longwear shadows are very pigmented and I love the less matte ones more than the shimmer ones but they do last on the skin for a full day . Surprisingly the creaseless shadows for me never actually stay creaseless but in fact these did. I kept checking to see if I had that horrid crease line during the day and was pleasently suprised at how well the shadows stayed . They feel like a cream on application but dry like a powder once set . Lovely silky feeling to it I must admit. 
So my conclusion for this kit is that if you love your neutrals or even looking for something to give you a natural look , then buy this . It will last you a long time and although it is priced at £23.50 ( a little less than the Naked palettes which I also adore), it is a lovely little kit to have . I will certainly be looking into checking out a differnt Benefit book style kit to match this such as the Easiest nudes.
