Cowgirl Pretty
Monday, April 20, 2009
Dallas by Benefit is one of my favorite cowgirl inspired beauty products. It comes in a small box with a print of a cowgirl on its top (who seems to be riding off into the sunset) and inside is a small squared brush with a faux wooden handle. I’ve used it for years, lasts forever and isn't too expensive. Gives a very natural sun kissed look and doesn’t irritate my skin, I have really sensitive skin. Also, has no shimmer to it. I hate blushes with shimmer.
Isn't it a nice package? Whenever I open the box I feel like I’m opening a toy.

I love the vintage images! Thanks for sharing the link too.
I'm the same as you, I like blushes with no shimmer and that make skin look as natural as possible!
Such lovely photos too..
I can't remember if I said this in my last comment but I really like the new backround you put on the blog! ;)
til soon

Hey Gabbi. Great pictures. I really love your blog. I thought I would check it out after you left comments on my blog. Thank you very much. I'll definitely have to stop in again. Feel free to visit my blog as often as you like. Cheers!
These illustrations are so wonderful! Fabulous post! Yeeeeee-haw!

I love these cowgirl photos. I have cowgirl stuff all over my apartment like this because they were just so darn sexy! I have never tried the products but will look into it.
benefit does the best makeup, and the cutest packaging!
Hi Gabbi,
cute pictures. If all goes well, I will be visiting Dallas this summer. my B is from Texas and I am excited to have a western experience. Thanks for the tip on the blush, I love the brush it comes with. I love makeup but I am not good at application, must take lessons!
i love benefit, and i love camera obscura. and i love the photos!
~ Thank you much love, glad you liked it. I love old photos and pin-up’s.xo
~ That’s exactly why I don’t like the shimmers too dear Francesca! Thank you for the kind comment on the background. I thought it was better for the spring? *bises*
~ Thank you Keith, I really enjoyed your Martin & Lewis post yesterday. Made me think of my old ‘boyfriend’… :)
~ Thank you dear CC… I love vintage cowgirl things. Hope you’re having a lovely week. Your blog is amazing. xoxo
~ So true dear Dooder, vintage cowgirl is sexy. Hope you like the blush as much as I do!! *besos*
~ Completely agree! Thank you dear Miriam.xo
~ How fun dear Laura, I’ve never been to Dallas (or any part of Texas really) looking forward to reading about your trip on your blog maybe? I’m completely with you the whole application thing. I rely on my sister for tips in that department, she has a knack for it I think. Your photos of Norm are adorable… Thank you!
~ Thank you Diana! Still at work thinking of books I need to fan. :)
I love the pics on your blog!!! xoxo PINK
very cute. i used to use a similar blush only in the green box - reminds me i should get some more :)
(ps. yes it's tilda!)
Cuuuute! So far I haven't found a place in Alaska that sells Benefit. Boo. I suppose I could buy online, but I like to test things out in the department store, you know?
I think being a cowgirl would be pretty dang awesome, except for the whole poverty thing. Maybe if I OWNED the ranch... except for I'm a vegetarian, so I'm sure what I'd do with the cows. Open a petting zoo?
Correction: I'm NOT sure what I'd do with the cows. Besides not eat them...
~ Thank you Pink, I love the Jewelry on our blog!
~ That’s dandelion! It was my favorite before Dallas. I think I’m too brown for it though… :) Tilda is gorgeous. I’m sort of bad with faces so I’m always second guessing myself. Thank you!
~ I think a ranch is a perfect place for a vegetarian Andrea... Imagine caring for and not eating animals, very rewarding. Cows have beautiful eyes, you could just stare soulfully into them all day :) Thank you for your lovely comment! xo
Hey I just awarded you!
Oh I love the pin up girl ones!! I love those old pin up girls anyways. I covered my uni books in pictures of them.
These cowgirls are classics - all of them! There's something lovely about a cowgirl! I've also used the same makeup for over a decade now - I fully understand you wanting to stick to something you know and works for you!
Love the cowgirl pics - I've got a couple of similar stickers on one of my guitars..
~ I LOVE your award Diana! Thank you very much… xx
~ Your uni books must’ve been awesome :) My high school folders were always a mess of doodles. Hope you’re having a great week!!
~ Thank you Sam! Hey, do you have cowgirl piece made already? A future drawing perhaps? Just putting it out there… xoxo
~ Your guitar sounds nice dear Mondo. Just had a lot of fun browsing your blogs. Greatly enjoy your style of writing!
Great pictures! Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my blog. I'll have to follow yours now! :)
~ Thank you Rebecca! Your blog's are great... really want a cooking robot now. :)
love these images, go cow girl!! :)
GAH I love pinup girls! I was even considering getting one for a tattoo BUT... maybe not teehee. They're all super gorgeous though! :)
•::xxThank you Tina and Eeli!!xx::•
camera obscura is one of my favorites! i am so happy that they just released a new record.. and they add a nice touch to your post about cowgirls.
let's sing along together.......
~ Aren't they great dear Asherette! I'm going to see them in June for the first time. They're playing at a very close venue (ca. 5 minutes away). Hope you have a great weekend. *besos*
I instantly fell in love with the song when I heard it, thanks for introducing Gabbi, I favorited the video :)
