I made a lunchtime trip to benefit today *yay* I've been toying with buying Bella Bamba for a while but sugar bomb was calling out to me too... So I figured it's been my birthday treat weekend... Why not buy both?
Sugar Bomb is A LOT tamer.. More of a warm glowy highlight really, not mega colourful, the 4 shades might look nice on the eyes in summer too.. I'm excited to experiment as it could prove to be a handy little compact!
The Bella Bamba in contrast is very highly pigmented with little effort.. You can tell when swirling your brush that there are less binders as the powder comes away from the pan very easily, it's almost loose! It's a really beautiful shade that I can already tell will complement my hoola tan nicely!
So.. Who else has been waiting to Bamba? I think I'm going to need the whole benefit powder collection.. Theyre just so pretty..
What's your favourite? What should I go for on my next trip?
Here are the close-ups and swatches as promised...

I have had THE longest day!
Up early for a morning at Ellas school, she was given a "Brilliant Bee" award, very proud Mummy here!
Then a docs appt with Lee and an afternoon of birthday shopping.
It's not my birthday until next week but I want a day to prep and preen (I rarely go out) so I thought I'd do the exhausting shopping a week early. I went a little crazy but it's a treat :) Very excited to get to try out my new Nars. I've wanted the Orgasm multiple and the sheer glow FOR-EVER but I think the sales lady wanted to hug me when I bought a blush as well.. very little sales involved lol. I tried Bella Bamba by Benefit today too and I like it! I think I will purchase next week.. very cute on!
Anywho..
I'm working all weekend so I'll wish you all a great one now, and for those going to IMATS I am sooo jealous but I know I would have bankrupted myself if I'd gone!
I can't remember if I've blogged this once already but you have to see it if you haven't already.
It was in my early youtube days and so the quality isn't so great and the timing is lost sometime in the middle but otherwise I think it's friggin hilarious!
