Perusing blogs one day I came upon Benefit Dallas Bronzer. I’d always heard about it… seen it…. but never bought it because it looked so dark. I forget which blog I saw it on, but when the girl wore it I was blown away. She looked stunning and it was so fresh on her. Had to have it. On my list it went, and … spoiler alert… I love it!
What Sephora says about Benefit Dallas:
It’s an outdoor glow for the indoor gal! Benefit’s newest pressed powder is a sun-kissed rose glow for rich, enviable beauty in a box. Sweep Dallas across cheeks, chin, and forehead to lift away signs of dullness and give your complexion a naturally radiant and vibrant glow—so sheer, it’s a wash of color that will benefit just about every skin tone.
Dallas (rosy bronze) gives off a natural rosy glow whether you use it as a bronzer or a blush. It’s luminescent enough for the apples of your cheeks but not so shimmery that you couldn’t use it as a bronzer only.
The pigment is definitely buildable but I feel like this is meant to look more sheer than noticeable. This is such a love for me I can’t believe I waited so long to purchase!
The packaging is that cardboard box that flips up. There is a small mirror inside and a brush (that I don’t like to use ever). What I’ve never liked about Benefit Blushes is that they are deep inside the box and it’s a little awkward. I know it’s like that to house the brush, but I’d love to see the powder raised higher… maybe a little more product for the price… and nix the brush.

Benefit Dallas retails for $28.00 and is available at Sephora, Ulta and benefitcosmetics.com.
Oh Wow, I love their packaging. It doesn’t get powder all over everywhere. This looks great, sorta like Nars Orgasm, on steroids.

That’s such a lovely, natural blush shade! It’s unfortunate about the packaging, though. I own Bella Bamba, and the color is to die for, but I barely reach for it because of the bulky cardboard packaging.

I have heard so many complaints about this packaging over the life of my blog (since 2009!) and I’m really surprised nothing has been changed about it. I love the decor of the box, it’s just awkward to work around.
