Earlier this month, Benefit Cosmetics had a Flash Sale at the Toronto Eaton Centre Sephora store to celebrate their recent collaboration with Matthew Williamson. The British fashion designer and Cosmetic Brand paired up to bring consumers a limited edition, disco-inspired beauty box exclusive to Sephora. The Flash Sale was an opportunity to preview and/or purchase The Rich is Back kit before it becomes available on May 30, 2013.

Benefit Cosmetics The Rich is Back Kit ($40 CDN/$34 USD)

Matthew Williamson is well known for his bold boho-chic designs, and the shades selected for this kit were inspired by his vibrant prints. They are rich & seductive. What’s really great about this makeup kit is that despite the bright lip gloss and bold teal shadow, the colour combinations in this set can really work on any skin tone! The Rich is Back kit includes 4 eye shadows, Gimme Fever Cheek Powder, Inferno Lip Gloss and Benefit’s award winning They’re Real Mascara. All of the products in this beauty box are new to Benefit with the exception of the mascara, which is one of their best-selling products. The packaging itself is very eye catching. It’s a retrospective look of some of Williamson’s collections. The box can even be used as a keepsake if you pop the makeup tray out. A wonderful collectible for any fan of the designer’s work.

I spoke with makeup master Jose Rivera on the “Pink Carpet” who said the makeup kit is perfect for everyday use or a night out, because it has 3 neutral shadows and a teal pop of colour that can be used to intensify a look for evening wear. Take a look…
