Marissa says "Hit the Road, Jack..."

This fall color is in the air, the cosmetic counters, and apparently on the road. While many brands are showing greens and purples, Benefit has come out with 4 palettes that are more neutral than colorful. Benefit's Roadside Attractions collection consists of two eye palettes and two lip palettes, each with three shades. "My Meter's Running" and "Is This Going to Take Long?" are the eye shadow trios. I like that they are very light, shimmery and open up my eyes - and they are a nice change to the denser fall colors. The lip trios are "Nice Ride" and "Ex's Make Great Speed Bumps", and again are neutral but have enough color to work as a nice alternative to the nude lip. "Ex's" was mentioned in the October issue of Allure under Beauty Reporter, Color of the Moment, Soft Nudes. I wasn't sure I would wear this collection - didn't think there was enough "razz" to it - but I was pleasantly surprised that I wear the eye shadows all the time and the lip creams are great for the weekend when I want to look natural. And, did I mention the price, only $20.00 per palette!

Benefit products can be purchased on the Benefit website, benefitcosmetics.com and at Sephora.
