Benefit Thanks a Latte Longwear Powder Eyeshadow
Benefit Thanks a Latte Longwear Powder Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “golden brown.” It’s a gilded, golden medium brown with warm undertones and a frosted, metallic sheen. Too Faced Cinnamon Sugar is slightly darker. Urban Decay Chase is darker. Urban Decay Suspect is browner. Dior Couture Gold #5 is a touch more golden. bareMinerals Cognac is darker. MAC Woodwinked is darker, redder in tone.
Now, this is a Benefit eyeshadow I can get behind! I haven’t had the greatest luck with their relaunch of the eyeshadow range, but Thanks a Latte definitely reminds me of the Benefit eyeshadows I fell in love with. It looks a lot darker in the pan than it does applied or swatched, which I expect is due to how reflective the finish is. The texture was soft, smooth, and buttery, and it applied the same way. It adhered and sat well on the lid, and it lasted better than a lot of the other shades did, too. I was able to get a full nine hours of wear with no fading or creasing.
This shade can also be found in Benefit’s Easiest Nudes Ever Palette, which contains four eyeshadows and two Creaseless Cream Shadows for $30.00 (the eyeshadows are 0.04 oz. each, and the cream eyeshadows are 0.11 oz. each, but it’s still a way better deal than buying this eyeshadow on its own unless you LOVE this one and loathe all the others).
Thanks a Latte
PPermanent. $20.00.

Christine..
Thanks for the review
That was really helpful
anyone know if the new Benefit shadows fit into MAC palettes?
They are larger!
Looks pretty! And I am glad to hear the quality of this one is better.
Okay – I think I have to get this! This is the sort of color I love for day to day.
This looks remarkably similar to CoverGirl’s “Mink”. It’s pretty much a staple in my makeup collection. I think I’m on my third pan so far!!
I’m loving the packaging for these, though. It’s right up my alley.
I love Benefit eyeshadows and can’t wait to try this one.
This is a beautiful, beautiful shade–very easy to wear, indeed. I should really check out those Benefit palettes–I keep meaning to but when I’m at Sephora, I forget :/
Hmm that looks a little bit too shimmery for my liking. It might be a good color to put on the middle of the lid though
