    5 Stars I've Been Sexy Sweeping 03/04/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages looks great, blends easily, suits most skin tones, lasts ages

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the price for some

    I was given this Benefit 10 bronzing and highlighting face powder duo as part of a gift set for my birthday a few months ago. I have to admit at £22.50 for a 10g box of powder, this is really quite pricey and something I don't think I would usually consider purchasing for myself. ** Packaging ** The packaging is typically Benefit - a bit retro looking - with a glitzy belt on the lid of the box. The box itself is the same as the oher face powders from Benefit, quite a strong sturdy box. The lid can be removed to find a plastic tray which houses the applicator brush and underneath that, the ... more

    4 Stars Will you Benefit from the sexy sweep? 11/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks great, easy to use, lasts well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive, not very durable packaging, you can easily look like a drag queen

    10 is a bronzer and highlighter in one little box. One side is a shimmering baby pink colour whilst the other is a shimmering brown. I'm a huge make up fan, and I love anything eye catching and a bit different, which probably encouraged me to try Benefit products. They all look a little bit retro and kitsch, and look fab in your bedroom. I bought this online with my last recent order from Benefit. It's available from larger Boots store, Debenhams and other large department stores. I tend to buy online as I usually have a 10% discount code that I can use. If you sign up for the online ... more

    4 Stars A Clean Sexy Sweep For Benefit! 10/10/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Makes cheekbones look high and razor sharp

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Over-enthusiastic application has a touch of the drag queen about it.

    Predictably, I'm a bit of a benefit fan. I say predictably because I'm a girly girl and in my experience, most girls of my persuasion are ardent benefit-o-holics. I am so ardent that I'm still a benefit fan that even after I've used some of their products and not been completely happy with them, I still want to buy more. This is almost entirely attributable to the range's kitsch and cute packaging. I didn't take much convincing, then, to part with £22.50 worth of Debenhams vouchers for a box of Benefit's new product - 10. 10 is a bronzer and highlighter in one, with the box split in half ... more

    4 Stars I've done the sexy sweep, have you? 03/01/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good simple idea, quality long-lasting product, brush included

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not most cost-effective option, lid not secure, brush not great

    Lately I'm feeling kind of down on myself and decided a couple of new makeup treats could help boost my self esteem. Besides finding a mascara I absolutely love (I just reviewed it if you're interested), I thought I would try something a little different and had heard good things about, Benefit's 10 "sexy sweep". Besides concealer and occasional blusher (haven't found one I'm in love with yet), I do very little with my face, so 10 seemed like a safe bet because it's basically foolproof. WHAT IS IT? 10 is a bronzer and highlighter duo from Benefit, who offer the most adorably retro-styled, high ... more

    5 Stars I can't think of a witty healdline....sorry :) 12/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Blends well, good for paler skin

    Disadvantages Disadvantages quite a hefty price tag if you're not used to higger end products

    Having run out of my two favourite and most used beauty products Get Bent Mascara and Benetint, and Boots having an advantage card promotion on when you buy 3 Benefit products I decided I would invest in a new item from the range. For me I was spoilt for choice, I have tried many of the Benefit range and loved them all but wanted something that would become a staple in my make up bag. I have never yet found a powder blusher that suited my skin tone though, Hoola is too dark, coraslistic a bit too coral (go figure lol) and dandelion didnt really show up....so when I saw the new 10 I thought I ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice look, brush included

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I am a big fan of Benefit products, yes, some of them are quite expensive but I do believe in you get what you pay for most of the time with cosmetics and the quality, packaging and effectiveness as well as how long the Benefit products lasts really makes me like to purchase their products. Benefit is an America cosmetics company founded in 1976 by twin sisters in San Francisco. The girls are called Jean and Jane. Their visions was to create makeup with a whimsical candy store type theme. Nowadays the brand has over 1,000 makeup counters in more than 25 countries. One such product that I ... more

    5 Stars Define you cheekbones in one easy sweep!! 13/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks amazing and not orange. Lasts FOREVER!! Can be used in many ways too!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    This two toned powder highlighter and bronzer blush in one from BeneFit is GREAT! The product is called '10' and retails at £23.50. Comes with its own individual brush too. Great for travel! When I first opened this blush I wasn't sure how to use it. But like all BeneFit products it came with a little instruction leaflet! I applied the brush to the powder so that half the brush was coated with the highlighter and the other half was coated with the bronzer. I found that the best way to apply the product was to then begin from the top of the cheek bone (right by my hair line) and to then sweep ... more

    Twins, Jean & Jane Ford have been designing fun, fresh benefit products since 1976. Their mission was to create quick fixes that would reduce every girl’s frequent makeup dilemmas (Thank-you!!!). Since 1976 there are now over 1000 Benefit counters and their products are available in more than 25 countries. They have a string of awards under their belt, including awards from trusted names such as Reveal, Debenhams and In Style, therefore we know they are a brand we can trust!

    5 Stars Quick review of Benefit 10 by goosey1987 18/12/2008
    I have spent years trying to find a highlight or blusher to use on my cheeks to create the pretty sunkissed look you see on all hollywoods, with Benefit 10 I found it, I would reccommend this product ot anyone to use. Not only is the make up good quality but also last for a long time the small pot usually last for 4 - 6 months depending on the amount of use, for example my last pot lasted 6 months i used it most days. The only thing i dislike about this product is the packaging, it is cardboard and ... more

    4 Stars Benefit 10 bronzer and highlighter - Be a perfect 10! 21/11/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Light yet effective.. just lovely !

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Due to depth of the packaging it is difficult to apply to brush provided

    Very complimentary of my olive skin tone, it does exactly what it says on the box! "Be a perfect 10! For a sultry, sexy glow, sweep this duo of sensual pink and naughty bronze over your completion." *THE EFFECT. Light yet effective.. just lovely ! Highlights and defines cheekbones with one simple sweep. I have read on other reviews of a 'drag queen' outcome from the application of this product, personally [may be due to my darker skin tone] how ever much I apply, always seem flawless and supple. *THE QUALITY. The powder lasts all day with a shimmery glow and doesn't dry your skin. Very ... more
