Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Box O' Blushes (1.08 oz.) retails for $36 USD ($43 CAD) and contains six powders and one cream highlighter all housed in a metal tin. While this box set is limited-edition, all of the products are permanent and can be purchased at anytime. It is said to be "a kit with four of Benefit's must-have blushes, highlighters, face powders and a tips and tricks guide."

"Get a glowing look with Benefit’s most covetable box of blushes, highlighters, and a powder in this Cheeky Sweet Spot Box O’ Blushes. It includes an exclusive tips and tricks guide to show you how to create two easy cheek looks, for daytime and after hours."
Value: this set contains roughly $114 USD ($145 CAD) worth of product, which does make this a very good deal. Most of the products in this set are at least half of the full-sized version. If you've been wanted to try Benefit's blushes and cheek powders, this set is a great opportunity.
While the packaging feels very retro, Christmassy and cute, it is also incredibly bulky, clunky and heavy. It's quite difficult to store since it takes up so much space and it's not travel-friendly. (I will admit though, I am thankful the packaging is a metal tin and not cardboard.) The pans of product sit within a cardboard tray that can be removed from the outer tin – so depotting and finding other storage solutions is an easy option!

* Hoola Bronzing Powder (0.17 oz.) – reg. $28 USD / $36 CAD (0.28 oz.)

* Watt's Up! Highlighter (0.05 oz.) – reg. $30 USD / $36 CAD (0.33 oz.)
Watt's Up! is a light, champagne beige with warm undertones and a luminous finish. The texture was soft, smooth, lightly creamy and blended into the skin easily. This is a cream-to-powder highlight that leaves a luminous glow on the skin which didn't emphasize the look of pores or imperfections on the skin. It lasted +8 hours before fading. (5/5)
Overall, the palette is a great value and contains a nice selection of the brand's best selling cheek products. The texture of the palette is a smidgen powdery and a few shades are slightly different in color when compared to the full-sized formula, but the performance and wear time is still great! I highly recommend checking this palette out whether you're gifting it, indulging in the brand for the first time or a long-time fan wanting to get their hands on the cute, limited edition packaging and savings!
