Benefits Hervana Boxed Powder Dupe


Hi ladies!
Todays post is going to be a drugstore dupe for the ever so popular Hervana blush (boxed powder) from Benefit cosmetics. 
Lets start with the packaging, both are quite obviously in some what of a cardboard box, both contain a small mirror inside and lastly both contain a small brush applicator. So far the to are comparably the same, if you go off the attractiveness of the packaging when selecting products you would probably chose the Benefit product as it does look more appealing. 


In terms of the product as you can see they are a little different but when swirled together they create almost the same natural flushed colour. Lets be real, most blushes are this colour and the only real dupe i'm going off is the packaging. I'm sure with more research I could give you a list of blushes that come to be this colour. The quality of the MP blush would pleasantly surprise you, in saying that again the Benefit product is smoother (finer) and has longer staying power. 


Next lets asses the price differences, if you are an Aussie like me then Benefit is quiet expensive down here. The Hervana blush comes in at RRP $51 whilst the Models Prefer blush comes in at RRP $8. The prices are quiet different from each other and like previously stated the quality is different but there isn't a massive difference if you go for the Models Prefer blush. 

Availability is also a small yet major factor here. Models Prefer can be found in almost all Priceline stores across the country where as Benefit is only *as of now available in Myers. 

IN SUMMARY:
Both products have their pro's and con's. All I will say is that there is no harm in buying the cheaper option, yes it is slightly less of quality but it does the exact same job. What i'm trying to say is, if I lived in a place where Benefit was cheaper I would totally buy it, this post was purely for all my struggling Aussie friends who need a more realistic substitute.
