Sephora 2013 Benefit Beauty Insider Birthday Gift: They're Real Mascara & Watt's Up (Swatched)

This year Sephora is offering Beauty Insiders a nice Benefit birthday gift featuring a mini They're Real Mascara in Black and Watt's Up soft focus highlighter.
 I'm quite pleased with this gift, and will definitely use both products!

Watt's Up is a luminous champagne with a pronounced shimmer in the sunlight- it is very pretty!

      Hi Gaby, I was surprised by how pretty it was- I guess I didn't quite know what to expect. I don't know how often I will use it, but it is quite pretty:-)

    Not too thrilled with this set. I LOVED the Fresh Sugar set and purchased a full size product. But Benefit? Not impressed with the mascara and I don't do shine AT ALL, so the shimmer stuff will get trashed. I'll simply refuse the gift this time around (unless they change it in time for my B-day, lol).

      I loved the Fresh Sugar set as well, and certainly used it more than I will likely use this. I tried the mascara and was surprised that I liked it- it didn't seem that shiny on me-- though truth be told I was exhausted the two days that I wore it that I don't think that I looked at my face all that closely before running out the door to the office! I know what you mean about shimmer stuff-- I tend to go for more of a natural finish- or at least that is my comfort zone. High shimmer eye shadows tend to do nothing more than collect dust in my drawer!

    I'm very happy with this gift. They've definitely improved. But people need to remember to get their gifts in time. My friend waited 2 weeks after her birthday to order and it wasn't available to her anymore.

      You are so right about remembering to pick up your gift before that magical 2 week gift window closes!!!
