beauty to go: benefit celebutante personal stylist kit

Packing my makeup bag for an overnight trip, or even just for lugging to the gym, can be a recipe for a beauty meltdown. Invariably, my instincts for editing things down to the essentials go by the wayside and, rather than stick to my daily beauty products, I'll sit and mull over every single product in my (mammoth) arsenal, weighing its pros and cons. The result: A bag full of items that I really didn't need to bring (Will I really wear that teal eyeliner? Not likely). Benefit's Celebutante Personal Stylist Kit is my saving grace because it does the thinking for me. Packed with many of Benefit's beauty hits, including the multi-tasking rose-tinted Lip & Cheek Stain Benetint, the bronzer-meets-blush Dallas Face Powder, uber-versatile Velvet Eyeshadows in satiny-pink Leggy and rosy-brown Dandy Brandy, High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer, a lipgloss and two lipsticks, along with a fluff shadow/talent brush – it's got pretty much every item I need to make up when I'm on-the-go. It's all packed in a chic, hot-pink, pencil-case-sized box that takes up very little space in your purse, gym or travel bag. What's more, the folks at Benefit having thought of everything, Celebutante also includes a handy-dandy little step-by-step lesson guide with key tips for how to use the products. Your personal stylist, if you will. Less thinking, more prettifying!
