Just ahead of the festive season, Benefit Cosmetics has presented the Benemart collection, which is a series of grocery-themed products. The makeup is disguised as pantry items due to the vibrant and playful packaging designs. A spotlight hits the Lookin Crisp pack, which appears to be a bag of chips but it opens up to showcase seven Benefit products -- full-size and mini-size options.
The 'Soup'd Up' beauty kit is another notable series as it is packed with a full-size bronzer and lip tint, topped off with a mini mascara in the can. Tinned fish is all the craze and with the 'Fresh Caught Lashes’ and ‘Wild Caught Lashes,' users are met with full-size mascaras. The ' All Brow’t That Cheddar’ set looks like a mac and cheese box and if packed with brow essentials.
