I love Benefit products and their super cute packaging but the thing that really sets Benefit aside from other companies is their willingness to ship their products to Australia at US prices. Pretty much all makeup companies refuse to let their products be sold to Aussies at the US price so we're stuck paying ridiculous prices for makeup.
The Benefit website ships to Australia and has free shipping for orders over $125. The shippings costs are actually very reasonable for any orders under $125 as well. It's great for people like me who hate paying for shipping :)
At the moment, Benefit are letting you create your own custom makeup kit and are throwing in a free gift and a makeup bag as well :) I'm not going to lie but the makeup bag was basically what drew me in as it's absolutely gorgeous!

You basically choose one product in each category of complexion (face products), cheeks and eyes and then you choose a free gift. There are so many options in each category and I'm kicking myself for not realising when I ordered mine. I thought that each category only had 3 items to choose from but there are actually multiple pages. But I'm not kicking myself too hard as the entire makeup kit only costs $79!

If I purchased the Porefessional, Fake Up and Fine One One in Australia, the total cost would have been AUS$132. The free Creaseless Cream Shadow retails for AUS$29! I think that I got an amazing bargain :) (even when I take into account that the AUS dollar is no longer on parity with the US dollar).
Check it out and have a play around with making your own kit on www.benefitcosmetics.com but don't hold me accountable if you give in and buy a makeup kit :P I'd love to know what you got though!
This looks SO cool. Oh my goodness. I love the look of everything you bought and I think that is brilliant value for money when it costs so much in Australia!
