Something New from BENEFIT~

Benefit has always been admired for their creative packaging and witty product names. But the brand really upped the ante with their two new eye palettes, the Eye Wanna! and the Eye Gotta! Thanks to the artistic flair of Barcelona-based illustrator Pietrai Posti both kits feature gorgeous—and eye-catching—graphics on the packaging, while housed inside each are five different shadow options, three powders and two creaseless cream shadows/liners, that were hand-picked by Benefit Global Beauty Authorities (and daughters of co-founder Jean Ford) Maggie and Annie Ford Danielson. The Annie Collection I Gotta! set is a gals' all-in-one, everyday mini-toolbox, while the Maggie Collection Eye Wanna! is the perfect go-to gear for staying glam all night long. 

Benefit The Maggie Collection Eye Wanna! and The Annie Collection Eye Gotta!, $36 each, available atSephora. 

Beauty Quotes From Reel Women

I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots.
Juliette Lewis 
























That's the mistake women make - you shouldn't see your makeup. We don't want to look like we've made an effort.
Lauren Hutton
