I say 2003 ISH because these have proved impossible to date via Google research. I’ve looked at many, many images of cupcakes, icing and the benefits of icing (on cakes) that I gave up on about page a million. But, the set is so similar in style to Frostings that I posted about last week that they must be closely linked in time – a year either side or so I imagine.
They’re very much in a similar vein to Frostings content wise, too. Two lip cremes and two eye sparkles. Each pot is decorated with a different ‘icing’ design and the posts are held within paper cupcake cases to make them more like bon-bons.
The top ingredient for the lip cremes is polyisobutylene which is something that you rarely see on make up ingredient lists these days (or at least, I don’t recall having seen it any time recently).
Shade names are: Cherry Velvet (lip creme), Cocoa Lace (lip creme), Sparkles ‘n’ Spice (eye sparkle) and Sugar On Top (eye sparkle) – in the order that you see them above. I think I’ve got one more retro Benefit product to come – the Glamourette palette from 2004 – anyone remember that? I just have to find it…. 🙂
