Benefit 'How To Look The Best at Everything' Kit Review and Swatches


Hey guys!

Today I'm going to share with you the other kit that Benefit recently launched from my recent Sephora Haul. If you would like to read about the Go Tropi-Coral kit, click here.

The 'How To Look The Best at Everything' comes in a very cute cardboard box that looks like a small book and once opened will reveal a "tips and tricks" visual and a decent sized mirror. The contains 4 product essentials that will help you achieve a flawless canvas in applying your makeup.







I have the medium kit which includes;
- 0.25 oz The POREfessional
- 0.23 oz Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation in "Cute as a Bunny"
 - 0.05 oz Boi-ing Concealer in shades 03 and 04
- 0.14 oz Hello Flawless Powder in "I'm so Money"
- a powder brush

The POREfessional - is Benefit's face primer that promises to minimize the appearance of pores and smoothes face for easy foundation application. To be honest, I don't think this primer minimized the appearance of my pores but I like this product for its smoothing effect. The POREfessional really smoothed out imperfections of my face and I think it helped my foundation stay on longer and not fade out through the day.



Hello Flawless Foundation - is I think Benefit's first liquid foundation and I might say the brand did it right for their first time. This is an oil-free, brightening, lightweight foundation with I would say light to medium coverage. I call this foundation my "weekend" foundation since I like medium to full coverage foundations more. I use this on days that I will just go to the mall for a few hours and just need something to even out my skin.



Boi-ing - I'm so glad that Benefit included 2 shades in this kit so I can mix and match them to the shade right for my skin. I use this mainly on some hyper pigmentation on my face.




Hello Flawless Powder - I've read in some posts online that this is a powder foundation but I use this more as a finishing powder for the liquid foundation also included in this kit. 



Here is the powder brush

Overall: This is a great way to try out some of Benefit's products with an affordable price. Check it out!

Price: $36.00 CAD
Place to buy: This is a Sephora exlusive

  1. What an awesome kit! Such a great way to try everything for a great price! I almost wish I had seen this before purchasing the full size foundation from Shoppers! Then again, it was 20x the points...

    1. I just recently joined the Shopper's Optimum program! I've always bought makeup from Walmart because its cheaper there but when I found out that there are promos for 20x the points rewards I realized the program's value. Anyways, yes its a great value! I currently have 3 foundations in rotation so I don't mind having just a sample size! :)

  3. I love benefit, it's my favorite high end brand. Kits like this are perfect to try out their products and help you decide if they are worth the 'big-price'. I have tried POREfessional and the concealers. I just can't let go POREfessional, I am repurchasing for the second time, but I can live w/o boi-ing. You may want to check out my post about erase paste and they're real mascara. How about the foundation?? I've been wanting to try it! XOXO

  4. Yes, that's why I always watch out for Benefit's Kits! lol. The foundation's good as well, it still wouldn't replace my HG foundation but I like it.
