Because I live in a country when the winter season is seemingly never ending, I had to find a way to love winter. Several years ago, I took up snowboarding and loved it. While the cold winter wind on the mountain slopes isn’t exactly comfortable, there’s no denying that the fresh pink cheeks I get from it is, well, pretty damn cute.

That’s me (one of the many times I was on my butt that day in Mt. Tremblant). 
For those of you who are afraid of the cold or allergic to nature (I’m not judging) but still want that snow bunny glow, Benefit Feelin’ Dandy Lip & Cheek Kit ($32 at Sephora) might be for you. It includes:
- PosieTint (4 ml) — pink lip & cheek stain
- High Beam (4 ml) — liquid face luminizer
- Dandelion (3 g) — blush
- Ultra Plush Dandelion (6.5 ml) — lipgloss

I already love PosieTint for years before this set came into my life. If you get over the fact that it looks like Pepto Bismol, this pink is perfect for perking up a dull complexion. High Beam is fantastic for highlighting the tops of the cheekbones with its micro-shimmer. I’m surprised that High Beam works well even on my darker skin tone. Dandelion is a very light pink that tones down the effect of PosieTint when layered. It applies sheerly and because it’s so light, it’s not my first choice for a blush on myself. It’s a great blush for a pale person, though! The Ultra Plush Dandelion lipgloss is also sheer with some shimmer, and the formula is wonderful: glides on almost like an oil that hugs the lips, and isn’t at all sticky. The only thing I hate about it is the smell; it smells like candy. I think it’s caramel candy? I just can’t stand it.

Despite the sweet lipgloss smell, I highly recommend this set. It provides such great value for $32. Perfect for gifting!
