No boring gifts! Not when you give Benefit Holiday Gift Sets. To be fair, I am usually pretty happy with what most people term “boring gifts”; I love getting socks and want a worm farm this Christmas. HOWEVER socks aside, I ADORE these gift sets and I think any makeup-lover in their right mind would be over the moon to receive any one of them. So, let’s take a look at a few of these gorgeously-packaged treats, available in New Zealand from October 2015, which are also great value for money and have cute re-usable tins. So much pretty, so little time, so let’s get started (it’s a sock-free zone…)
GET YOUR PARTY ON!
This contouring kit in a stunning rotating wall tin, has four full sized products, and retails for $114. It contains:
They’re real! lengthening mascara full size | 8.5 g Net wt. 0.3 oz.
Hoola bronzer full size | 8.0 g Net wt. 0.28 oz.
High beam face highlighter full size | 13 mL / 0.45 US fl. oz.
Gimme brow volumizing gel in medium/deep full size | 3.0 g Net wt. 0.1 oz.
Why I love it
It is perfect for the ‘glam girls’ who like a strong brow, long lashes, and highlighted and bronzed cheekbones, and you’re all set for the party season with this incredible tin containing four Benefit bestsellers. Dot on the High Beam Highlighter over makeup onto cheekbones and brow bones for a party glow.
PARTY POPPERS

Why I love it
Because it PLAYS MUSIC when you open the lid, AND it contains makeup…these are two pretty amazing features for any present, in my book! It’s a good mix of skincare samples to try out or travel with, plus best-sellers such as tints, lip glosses, mascara and highlighter, plus a remover to take it all off.

Why I Love It:
