PRODUCT REVIEW: BENEFIT'S CHEERLEADERS BRONZE SQUAD

There is something about Benefit's palettes that I simply cannot resist. The last time I even reserved a palette for me and my sister even before it came out in the market and that is the Benefit's Cheeky Sweet Spot. This time though, the palette includes full size blushes and highlighters unlike the mini size in Cheeky Sweet Spot. 

There are two types of Cheerleaders Squad released but the color shades included in the Bronze Squad is lighter and it fits my skin tone better. But a girl can still wish for the another palette, right? Yes! I still want the Pink Squad! 

Anyway, back to reality. I can only have one. LOL. Moving on, let us now check out this palette!

Pros: 

I know I already mentioned it above but just to repeat myself, this palette comes in full size powders! Oh my! Actually, you get a huge discount from this palette compared to the price that it will cost you if you buy it separately. The Hoola, Hoola Caramel and Coralista is 1990php each. The Gold Rush is 1800php. While the Cookie is a new shade that makes an introductory show here at Cheerleaders Bronze Squad, let us assume that the price of the Cookie would be the same to Gold Rush. Buying all of the five powders included in the palette separately will cost you 9570php. But buying this palette will only cost you 3980php, you will save as much as 5590php specially if you love collecting the Benefit blush and highlighting powders. 

The combination of the powders included fits my skin tone (I am MAC NC20 user and I have a warm undertone.) and it looks natural on me. (See my look using this shades on my photo below.)

This palette is handy since it contains anything that you may need for a contour and strobe. 

It lasts long on me for at least 6 to 8 hours without the need for a touch-up. 

Each powder is easy to blend and apply. It has a smooth texture and not dusty. 

The new shade Cookie, reminds me of The Balm's Mary-Loumanizer but the Cookie is just more muted.

The palette comes with a full size Benefit brush. 

Cons: 

The Gold Rush's glittery powder is just on the surface. When you managed to use all of the superficial powder, it is not that shimmery anymore.  

Well, this is really not that affordable unless you think that it will save you more money than buying it separately. Remember though, Benefit is one of the top brands in makeup industry and the quality of their products are usually worth it. (I just love their brow products and blushes!) :)


SWATCHES:



Buy again? 100%

Overall Rating: 5/5

Price: 3980php

Where to buy? Benefit stores, Sephora, and their Flagship store at Lazada

This palette is so nice, I actually still wanted the other palette, Pink Squad because it also has a new shade introduced in that palette. Anyway, this will suffice for now. :) Thank you so much for reading my review and let us stay connected on my social media accounts!
