Does anyone here use (or has used) Benefit products?

Are they any good and would you recommend any specific products?

I've had my eye on this:

justine case : Benefit Cosmetics

It seems to contain most of the products that caught my attention and I figured it'd be a good way to sample them without buying them all separately only to find out I don't like them.

I don't often wear make-up and when I do, I don't wear a lot.

Yes this is fabulous.
It has mini versions of everything so you can try a bunch of things at once.
The eye con is a great rich nourishing cream for the eyes with light reflecting pigments to help eradicate darkness.
I love bad gal mascara and eyeliner and any of the beauty powders, particularly 10 and dandelion.
I use them at shoots and for makeovers all the time, as well as in my personal day to day kit.

This is the only Benefit that I thought it was worth splashing out my poor student budget on. It was TOTALLY worth it.

"Dr. Feelgood" (no, not the Motley Crue album, but having said that, it's my favourite Motley Crue album ever) is my BeneFit must have. It's similar to a primer, except you use it AFTER you apply make up, it leave a semi-matte texture to the skin and REALLY minimises the appearance of fine lines and pores. You can use it through the day to counteract any oiliness, yet leaves your skin radiant. I used to use blotting tissues to absorb oil (as I am oily/combination skinned) but this stuff is the shizznit. If you have dry skin, it helps to keep it moist, if you have oily skin it counteracts the overactive sebum. It doesn't strip or load the skin down, I'm sure it helps to balance the natural PH as it never leaves one looking "chalky" or "shiny". It has a refreshing mint scent to it and perks you up if you feel "sluggish" (or hungover/nasal/congested - delete as applicable) during the day. Also, it has the added benefit that you can use it on skin without makeup either. It costs about £19 in the UK, a tin of it lasts me about 4 months on average. I did the math, I used to spend £7.50 twice a month on Clinique oil absorbing sheets (Clinique were the only sheets that worked for combo skin, I found) so on average I was spending near £60 every four months on these damn sheets! I'm now saving nearly £39 with "Dr.Feelgood"!
