You guys, I know it’s been WAY too long but I can’t wait a second longer before telling you about my latest mascara obsession!

Last month Benefit released a genius new product called They’re Real: a lengthening, thickening, long-wearing, super glossy, badass mascara.

And by badass, I mean BADASS.

This mascara makes my lashes thick and long without weighing them down and unfurling my curl (my number one complaint of mascaras, thanks to my Asian heritage). It’s also smudge-proof and water resistant, a huge benefit here in the humid weather of Kauai.

Benefit They’re Real Mascara is currently sold out on Benefitcosmetics.com but you can find it at Sephora.com for $22.

This month, Benefit released its 9th addition to everyone’s favorite Box O’ Powders collection. Bella Bamba is a 3D watermelon blush with shimmering gold undertones.

Wear it on your cheeks or dust it lightly all over your face for a brighter complexion.

At first glance, it might appear to be too-bright pink for your liking, but it goes on sheer and looks amazing. I’ve been wearing this as a blush (just on the apples of my cheeks) and it gives my skin a radiant glow.

Bella Bamba is available online at BenefitCosmetic.com for $28.

I’m incredibly curious about this new release from Benefit: it promises to quickly minimize the appearance of pores, leaving you with “smoother-than-smooth” skin. It’s almost like a bottled version of Benefit’s Dr. Feelgood balm, no?

Benefit the POREfessional is available from Benefit Cosmetics for $28.

I was thrilled to hear Tweezerman would be partnering with Benefit for an exclusive line!

In my book, Tweezerman is second-to-none for creating gorgeous, sculpted brows with as little pain as possible, and I’m absolutely loving this swirly pink design that puts a girly spin on an everyday must-have.

Tweezerman for Benefit Slant Tweezer is available from Benefit for $25.
