My favourite product that has made me smile is 'Girl meets Pearl.' Because I love the idea of 'Pure pearly pleasure!!' It reminds me of a princess with diamonds and PEARLS!<3
I love my Hoola! Every time I apply it I can't help but treat my menfolk to a little rendition of Rock-a-hula-baby, including some very bad Elvis hip thrusting. They love it really.
I love the name 'watts up'. Think its a cute idea for a highlighter, especially as you want a highlighter to make you look glowy and 'lighten up' your complexion!
How could "They're real" not make you laugh?! I LOVED this product name as soon as I saw it - and then when I saw the Facebook campaign, it just got better. Brilliant work, Benefit. Tongue in cheek and by the girls, for the girls. So far, I've had to say "they're real" about my lips only - when I got accused of collagen-ing! Please help me to say it about my eyelashes too! @SohoPRGirl
They're real mascara is my fave because my daughter never leaves the house without false lashes and I am sure this could convince her that her own lovely lashes can look fantastic too!
Bella Bamba! Every time I apply it, I imagine I'm in sunny Mexico, wearing a cute dress and spinning around on a beach while the ruffles on the dress float through the air :D just love it!
My favourite Benefit product name (if I understood the post and you have to write them here) is Watt's Up. I'm not sure what exactly it is about that name that really makes me laugh, I think it's the lightbulb idea - because, really, what is the product meant to do but light up the face? I also think the colloquial nature of the phrase is part of why I like it - it makes me think that, wearing this, I could be the kind of person who goes around being cheeky and greeting everyone
Watt's up has to be one of my favourite names that I can think of off the top of my head. It reminds me of a rather kooky physics teacher we had that used to try a *bit* too hard to make thirty-odd teenage girls think physics was cool.
The beauty industry is renowned for playing on words that convey messages of success, beauty, attractiveness and happiness. However it is nice to see Benefit teaming up with a not so stereotypical word BUT still manage to make a girl feel what the product offers; brightness, luminous and shining!
The product that has made me smile the most is the creaseless cream shadow in Birthday Suit. Every time I wear it, I have a little childish giggle about the name. And it is the perfect nude colour so a very apt name! :)
My favourite product name is "High Brow." It just really makes me smile. Cos, you know, it makes your brows high. Maybe it's because I'm an English teacher, makes me think of high literature. It is a clever name, though. :-) x
Its got to be Bella Bamba for me. When it was first released, it took me back to my childhood when I used to watch a film (Ive got no idea what its called) but it had the Ba Bamba song in it. You know the one... "Ba-Ba-Bamba Ba-Ba-Bamba... Por Ti Sere Por Ti Sere" I well thought I was a dark haired beauty dancing and singing away.
You so need to google it and you'll know exactly what song it is and what film it came from! Its real I promise! haha.
My fav product name is CORALista. Whenever I say it I say it in a really poor mexican accent and roll the 'r'. Which is fine when I'm alone, but does get me a few weird looks when im doing my makeup on the train :) alturner5@btinternet.com
I'd say Cha Cha tint, because whenever I ask my friend which blusher she's wearing, she always bursts out into dance and says, (in a strong mexican accent) "It's the Cha Cha tint baby!". It never fails to make me laugh!
Though not a particularly funny name, the Big Beautiful Eyes palette always brings back a memory. After an evening of dancing my friend and I went to touch up our make up. In a drunken haze, and thinking I looked fab I gazed into the mirror only to realise my mascara had smudged all under my eyes and one of my false eyelashes was hanging off. I wasn't keen on channeling the panda look and thankfully my friend had that palette, she re touched my make up and sent me out there looking fab!
The product that makes me giggle whenever I see/use/think of it is the Hoola bronzing powder. The reason is because I purchased it last summer, before my exams. And there was a zoology exam that had animals behaviour in a chapter. And described the dance the Sula birds (real cuties may I add here-yes I'm a biology nerd) do. I generally cannot remember names of any species, so in order to do so I combined Sula with Hoola. And I was imagining the Hoola doing the Sula dance. Which, trust me, it is way too funny. Needless to say that I aced the test (one of the questions was the dance), and that now whenever I see/use or think of Hoola, I keep bringing the Sula-Hoola dance in my head. And laugh at random times. :D
ps.it gives me killer cheekbones as well, so smiling to show them off is always a good thing.
I'm a kid of the 80s and La Bamba was all around when I was little. I remember when my ballet class had a recital and in the end, after all the boring classical stuff, all of us little girls were dancing to La Bamba in our cute pink tutus. Thinking about that still makes me giggle.
My favourite has to be '10', it reminds me of my male friend who once said 'she's a perfect 10'. It's a product that envisages someone saying 'you're a perfect 10/10' because the blush/highlighter combo looks so good!
I love CORALista. I think the play on words is so clever, incorporating the name of the colour as well as a cowgirl reference. I also love the lovely glow it gives me.
It's got to be Thrrrob! *cue dirty giggle* Bit less obvious than a certain other company and their choice of product name, still gets the message across. Surely very woman wants THAT kind of glow, for real or from Benefit ;o) x @LeanneOCD
I think BADgal mascara is one of the first products that attracted me to Benefit. It's different than all the other mascaras out there - it makes me smile because it isn't trying to be posh or pretentious, just big and sexy! @beautylovenotes
For me its sugarbomb, My friend has this and we were together when she got it, and for whatever reason we started singing 'sex bomb' (tom jones!) but replaced sex with sugar, and were generally probably being fairly annoying to everyone else in Boots (and Brighton) for the rest of the day! Whenever we get ready to go out together & I see it, we both start singing it again! A close second would be Celebutante, which is just an amazing play on words! oh to be an upper east sider debutante.... twitter: @belledubrighton
I have to giggle whenever I see 'take a picture...it lasts longer...' because it's so cheeky and goes perfectly with the retro packaging. I like the idea that a body balm could make you feel sexy and confident enough to challenge someone who was staring at your silky skin! @tizzypotts
My favourite is 'finding mr. bright' it always makes me think of that ever elusive Mr Right! And although I haven't found him yet, who needs Mr Right when I've found mr. bright :D chocolateeclaire441@hotmail.com
Because I have a filthy, filthy mind it's Thrrrob all the way for me. I love the name and the sexy little picture on the box. If it gives me that 'just ravaged' look and I can keep my clothes on, I call it a winner!
@funkimunkibadge leahdavidson1974 at aol dot co dot uk x x
My favourite has got to be Benetint! It's perfect for brightening up your day and perfect i all occasions, from my first date to a night out on the tiles dressed as Minnie Mouse for my friend's 21st Disney Party! I absolutely love it :)
My favourite is Porefessional; obviously it's a play on the word 'professional' which is exactly what I'd say I need to deal with my gigantic pores :( The name makes me smile as I'm 100% confident I'm not the first person to admit to needing the help of a pro when dealing with the little horrors. On Twitter as @BeautyGeekUK
They're Real! definitely made me laugh from when I first heard it! Just imagine someone saying 'Ah, have you got false lashes on?' and you reply 'Nope. They're real! *wink*wink*' exactly like that. That's how I imagine it in my head and it always makes me giggle.
porefessional - an amazing name for an amazing product. i seriously need it's professional help to banish my pores! long lasting makeup, teeny-tiny pores , what more could you wish for?
I love Benefit make up and one of their fab sets is always top of my christmas list, they are perfect for travelling. My all time best product has to be rush hour, its an absolute essential, 5 mins and i'm good to go. Stops me scaring people on the school run! @zoecampbellyork
They're real mascara never fails to make me smile.. As long time wearer of false eyelashes, I no longer need to wear them, that saves me a lot of money .. so hell why wouldn't I laugh smile and jump for joy!! Benefit you are my hero!
What gets me a cheeky grin is simply boi-ing the effects of using the product is brilliant, and it just sums it up with the word "boi-ing" . It's a fun playful word and it reminds me of the time when I had this "poppy mobile phone" the text message noise was "boooooiiing, booooooiiiiiiing, booooiiiiing!" it was a garantee silence breaker in a serious time xxxx @aliysalee
My favourite product is Dr. Feel Good. I think every benefit product makes us gals feel good. So whenever I see/use this it makes me chuckle and feel good!!
Hi: I,m one of those girls that never has taste anything of benefith( here in the Canary Islands is dificult to find it) but that has always have got the dream to have one. I know them really well because i saw them in continuois in blogs but.... so let see if I have luck Email: roguezgil@gmail.com
The benefit product that always makes me smile is "realness of concealness" great name and fabulous product that goes with me everywhere, EVEN on those no make-up days ;D The ultimate fake-it kit :D

I love Bella Bamba - I cant pick it up to use without singing La Bamba by Richie Valens which has been one of my favourite songs since it was in Grease.
My favourite benefit product to make me giggle is the 'they're real' mascara, I think its cheeky and cute just like benefit. And I can't help but smile everytime when someone asks what mascara I'm wearing cos my lashes look amazing, I just say oh... 'They're real!' Haha
ok the benefit product that always makes me smile is benefit pocket pal, i am even giggling writing this and please excuse me for anyone that finds this offensive. To cut a long story short i had met met my partner for coffee and as he had put his had on my leg he had felt something and when he asked i told him it was my pocket pal, his face was sheer horror and then he wispered in my ear 'i can't believe you brought that out with you', he continued to ask why while going red and after a few minutes he actually said that how could i have been carrying round a sex toy all day!! I have never laughed so much and eventually he started laughing too, so the pocket pal will always have a special place in my heart x Twitter: @foxy1982
My favourite product name from Benefit is definitely "Confessions of a Concealaholic". I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I first saw it - it hit way too close to home! It brought back memories of my very first concealer which I LOVED despite the colour mismatch and terrible cakiness. I was obsessed with its heavy coverage and put it everywhere on my pimply teenage grease face to a point where I would actually DRAW blemishes on my face just so I could conceal something and then go ooohh and aaah over its concealing powers :D Ah, to be 16 again!
I have grown since then and thankfully learned from my mistakes. Even though I don't play with makeup as much as I would like to, Benefit's cheeky and fun approach to beauty always reminds me that makeup doesn't always have to be so serious & boring!
Bella Bamba! Because it truly is beautiful and when I wore it last night my boyfriend told me my face and skin looked amazing. That in itself is enough to make any girl smile.
How can I forget my first encounter with 'girl meets pearl'?
It was a rainy day almost two years ago so I went into a shop to cover myself from the rain. I wondered around for a bit when I noticed watchful eyes on me, so I turned around and there it was, openly flirting with me. It smiled and I smiled back. What can I say? I am weak. I fell into its trap straightaway. It was love at first sight.... and we have been together ever since :)
I recently bought my mum the Benefit lipstick in "Nice Knickers". Never fails to make me grin when she texts me saying "I'm wearing Nice Knickers today!" Although I think she needs to stop telling her colleagues that while pouting provocatively. Twitter name:@kjeff08
My favourite is Bella Bamba! Kinda sounds to me like a catch phrase fomr a superhero or the name of one and that makes me laugh! Me and my friends also say ti now to each other - I'm Bella and she's Bamba!
My favourite product that makes me smile is Porefessional. As soon as I first used it I was hooked. Now, I smile when unscrew the lid and smell the lovely smell of it, I smile when I put it on my face. And I smile throughout the day when I feel how soft my face, and when people compliment how smooth it makes my skin look.
I love the product. Its genuinely the best powder foundation I've ever seen and it ACTUALLY works.
Plus, that name is fantastic. Try looking in the mirror after you've used it and saying "Hello Flawless" to your skin...be careful though... you may fall in love with your own reflection hehe
♥ My favourite product would be the 'Big Beautiful Eyes kit'. ♥
Me and some friends were bored on a ferry trip to Paris so we went and bought this set to share and got some really strange looks trying to put it on without looking like we'd applied it on a rollercoaster!
I think it has to be Dr Feel good, so many connotations! But a great product, makes your skin feel so smooth, feel so good! Great me up base, love it, love it, love it!! Twitter: Kelly_M_Ball

Big Beautiful Eyes palette is the one for me. I start off looking in the mirror at a hideous weathered old witch and by the time I have finished with that I am turned back into a princess and happy again!
Really want to try Hoola but really dont like the box packaging... When will they have a more compact package for their ox products just for an alternative..... S.chen8849@gmail.com
Absolutely Bella Bamba - and I've just about run out!
There's the obvious 'La Bamba', which is currently running around in my head at the mention of the product - but that one's been said already.
The major reason Bella Bamba makes me smile though, is that I first tried it when visiting a Benefit counter before my graduation - so its gorgeous scent always whisks me back to that day, one of the best of my life.
Plus, it makes my face look drop-dead fabulous, ALWAYS a winner.
My grandmother (who grew up in the days when women never left the house or was seen in public without makeup) was in a rush one morning and accidentally used my BADgal Eyeliner in Espresso as a LIP LINER! We had a good laugh about it and still do (especially when I pull out the photos). LOL chrissy.darling@yahoo.com
the product that makes me laugh the most is 'they're real' because it will always remind me of the time i lied to a cute boy in a bar and said my hair extensions were real, only to have someone tap me on the shoulder ten minutes later (in front of said boy) and tell me that my extensions had fallen into their drink and would i like my hair back...
It has to be "BADgal" eyeliner. I just love it because it reminds me of being in second year in high school where I was always wearing really smudgy, dark eyes. It's got such a cute/tough girl name as well and you feel like Megan Fox after you've applied it! xx
Take A Picture.. It lasts longer Purely because I used to say this when I was about 12 and thought I was the smartest girl ever for thinking it and saying it.. But I didn't, I heard someone older say it and claimed it as my own. Muhaha
I love all the Benefit I own (a lot lol) but my boyfriend bought me Tattletell all for my birthday and I smile every time I see it on my desk because it means so much :) x twitter: @brendahmac
For me it has to be the get even foundation that makes me smile. Every time I put it on, it means I'm ready for "war" (it's part of my 'darling -or any other appropriate word-, I'm awesome' outfit&makeup) and I WILL get even with everyone who's messed with me. That kind of smile. The one that scares the heck out of everyone who's done you wrong. peggy.boura@gmail.com (sorry, no twitter)
The product that makes me smile is BADgal lash mascara. It gives me super amped up fabulous lashes which means I can skip on the falsies. Thats enough to make any girl smile!
I love 'Watts up' It's a great play on words and a gorgeous highlighter!! I tried it out one day while out shopping, I then went to meet my friend and asked her if if she liked the highlighter!! When she said she did and asked what it was she got very confused when I answered 'Watt's up'!! The look on her face made me laugh!! I had to explain that was the name of it and I wasn't just starting a completely different converstaion with her!!!
It has to be the playstick foundation in paper dolls. being out until 5am, having 2 hours sleep then heading out to work looking just as good as the day before. definitely warrants a cheeky smile to yourself! ; )
For me it's Benefit's Posietint. I am pale and it gives a beautiful english rose blush to my cheeks. When I first used it my husband smiled and reminisced, he said it reminded him of the way I blushed with our first kiss. :)
"That Gal" has always made me giggle. It's so representative of how Benefit cosmetics are admired the world over, and are so sophisticated and lovely. It just makes me think... I want to have all the poise and beauty of "That Gal"!
I love the Hello Flawless powder. It is amazing. My friend put some on me last week and wow my skin was so smooth, and not patchy. Plus it stayed on all day and night. I was so impressed. Plus the range of colours Benefit do is brilliant. Best powder out their.
"They're real". I creased up laughing when I first saw that ad - a cross between Jessica Rabbit and Wonderbra. Priceless. And the mascara is as good as they claim!
Love High Beam - have been using it since I went into Macy's in New York and my best friend persuaded me to have a makeover. It was my first trip to New York, and the first time I had a professional makeover, and it was fantastic. Every time I use High Beam it makes me smile, remembering a fantastic holiday!
I adore 'Cha Cha Tint', just the name is so vibrant which really portrays the gorgeous coral colour of Cha Cha! It's bright, colourful and just what every girl needs during these dismann times!
Love Thrrrob, as well as the sexy name and corset packaging (which make me smile), it gives a fantastic glow reminiscent of certain activities, which means I can't help but have a huge grin all day, it's like having a naughty little secret :)
Hoola never fails to make me smile. It makes me think i am in hawaii dancing away. I also bought a hoola hoop not long after my hoola bronzer purchase. I really wanted a hawaiian waist to go with my hawaiian face?? When i am making my cheeks glow i have a good laugh when i look up at the hoola hoop on top of the wardrobe gathering dust!!!! @NorKelly -twitter
I have lots of favourites, but my all time must have is Hoola, makes me feel a whole lot better about myself in the morning's once I've applied it....look like the walking dead before I put it on!!!
Thrrobb. Cool name. Makes my feel sexy when I wear this blusher. It really suits the Irish skin colouring. I know it's an older product but I love it. @brianlisa2
I think Benefit has a number of great and fun products with perfect names. But my favourite must be Benetint. Not as much the name in this case as the original use of it and the history. Haven't tried it though - neither on my nipples nor on my cheeks. skov_m@hotmail.com
I love my BADgal lash mascara. Everyone sees me as the good girl, kind and caring. Then Friday night rolls around and I whip out my BADgal and out comes my dark and sexy side ;-)
(Perfect) 10 is my favourite as every time I use it, I silently sing "Perfect 10" by The Beautiful South in my head.."If he's extra large, well I'm in charge, I can work this thing on top. If he's XXL, well what the hell Every penny don't fit the slot" ;-)
The house was really quiet, my boyfriend was reading a book … and I was getting really bored.
While browsing the Benefit website I found myself saying , with the most serious face I could have(in this situation:D): “I found Mr. Bright! And It’s potent!!!” When he looked at me completely surprised, I changed the serious face with a grim… and that was enough to make us both start laughing like crazy:))))
What can I say? Finding Mr. Bright made our day!:))
Sunbeam sunshine in a bottle and judging from our irish summers you would need help from a bottle This make me smile because we have summer to forward to. But if someone was to ask you how have you such a beautiful colour? I would say staying here in Ireland of course. Fluky1 twitter name jobattye@eircom.net
My favourite Benefit product also has my favourite name - 'Honey, Snap Out Of It' scrub. It always puts me in the right frame of mind to start the day!
Got to be La La Land lipstick because it reminds me of my gran. Every daft idea I ever had she trotted out "Oh, you live in La La Land!". She was right and I still do!
My favourite benefit product is brows a go go - because without this my brows are a definite no no. They always need a bit of help to make it look like I actually have eye brows as having fair hair they do need some help. Its a great little kit!
I adore Theyre Real mascara, i cant wear false eyelashes (I wear glasses and poke myself in the eye whilst blindly trying to apply them lol), and this is even better than false eyelashes, transform my short stubby lashes, plus no black eyes, panda or otherwise :)Shexy eyes, mwah xx
'Finding Mr Bright' - the kit is 'quite a catch' and it includes a lesson (in how to put the make up on) - what's not to smile about - now all that's needed is a bit of magic to make it really work (though I don't need it anymore, it could help out a few girls).
I love Bad Gal Lash Mascara, it is reasonably priced and gives an immaculate affect of a more expensive msscara, by separating the lashes and not clogging. It really makes me smile
My best friend bought me Benefit's Maybe Baby fragrance when I was pregnant with my little boy. I can't smell it now without thinking of this incredibly happy time in my life and the fragrance will always make me smile. @RedRoseMummy

It's perfect for brightening up your day and perfect i all occasions, from my first date to a night out on the tiles dressed as Minnie Mouse for my friend's 21st Disney Party!
I absolutely love it :)
@jenery
My favourite is Porefessional; obviously it's a play on the word 'professional' which is exactly what I'd say I need to deal with my gigantic pores :( The name makes me smile as I'm 100% confident I'm not the first person to admit to needing the help of a pro when dealing with the little horrors. On Twitter as @BeautyGeekUK
Fab comp xx
They're Real! definitely made me laugh from when I first heard it! Just imagine someone saying 'Ah, have you got false lashes on?' and you reply 'Nope. They're real! *wink*wink*' exactly like that. That's how I imagine it in my head and it always makes me giggle.

I love Benefit make up and one of their fab sets is always top of my christmas list, they are perfect for travelling. My all time best product has to be rush hour, its an absolute essential, 5 mins and i'm good to go. Stops me scaring people on the school run!
@zoecampbellyork
They're real mascara never fails to make me smile.. As long time wearer of false eyelashes, I no longer need to wear them, that saves me a lot of money .. so hell why wouldn't I laugh smile and jump for joy!! Benefit you are my hero!
What gets me a cheeky grin is simply boi-ing the effects of using the product is brilliant, and it just sums it up with the word "boi-ing" . It's a fun playful word and it reminds me of the time when I had this "poppy mobile phone" the text message noise was "boooooiiing, booooooiiiiiiing, booooiiiiing!" it was a garantee silence breaker in a serious time xxxx @aliysalee
My favourite product is Dr. Feel Good. I think every benefit product makes us gals feel good. So whenever I see/use this it makes me chuckle and feel good!!

I love Bella Bamba - I cant pick it up to use without singing La Bamba by Richie Valens which has been one of my favourite songs since it was in Grease.

My favourite benefit product to make me giggle is the 'they're real' mascara, I think its cheeky and cute just like benefit. And I can't help but smile everytime when someone asks what mascara I'm wearing cos my lashes look amazing, I just say oh... 'They're real!' Haha

ok the benefit product that always makes me smile is benefit pocket pal, i am even giggling writing this and please excuse me for anyone that finds this offensive. To cut a long story short i had met met my partner for coffee and as he had put his had on my leg he had felt something and when he asked i told him it was my pocket pal, his face was sheer horror and then he wispered in my ear 'i can't believe you brought that out with you', he continued to ask why while going red and after a few minutes he actually said that how could i have been carrying round a sex toy all day!! I have never laughed so much and eventually he started laughing too, so the pocket pal will always have a special place in my heart x

My favourite product name from Benefit is definitely "Confessions of a Concealaholic". I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I first saw it - it hit way too close to home! It brought back memories of my very first concealer which I LOVED despite the colour mismatch and terrible cakiness. I was obsessed with its heavy coverage and put it everywhere on my pimply teenage grease face to a point where I would actually DRAW blemishes on my face just so I could conceal something and then go ooohh and aaah over its concealing powers :D Ah, to be 16 again!
I have grown since then and thankfully learned from my mistakes. Even though I don't play with makeup as much as I would like to, Benefit's cheeky and fun approach to beauty always reminds me that makeup doesn't always have to be so serious & boring!
Bella Bamba! Because it truly is beautiful and when I wore it last night my boyfriend told me my face and skin looked amazing. That in itself is enough to make any girl smile.
How can I forget my first encounter with 'girl meets pearl'?
It was a rainy day almost two years ago so I went into a shop to cover myself from the rain. I wondered around for a bit when I noticed watchful eyes on me, so I turned around and there it was, openly flirting with me. It smiled and I smiled back. What can I say? I am weak. I fell into its trap straightaway. It was love at first sight.... and we have been together ever since :)
@sybaritechick
feeling cheeky makes me smile!
High Beam! High Beam! High Beam!
It makes me smile every time I put in on my cheeks because it makes them look A M A Z I N G ! Especially when I smile.
It turns my frown upside down every time :-)
@Effyhowson
I recently bought my mum the Benefit lipstick in "Nice Knickers". Never fails to make me grin when she texts me saying "I'm wearing Nice Knickers today!" Although I think she needs to stop telling her colleagues that while pouting provocatively.

My favourite product and prodyct name is 'The POREfessional' - because its only Benefit, the PROfessionals, who I trust to make my skin look perfect.

My fave has to be benetint. It allows me to forget about the colour on my lips and get on with using them!
vicky.white@gmail.com
My favourite is Bella Bamba! Kinda sounds to me like a catch phrase fomr a superhero or the name of one and that makes me laugh! Me and my friends also say ti now to each other - I'm Bella and she's Bamba!
Twitter: @Jenni000
the one thats made me smile :) is bella bamba ... cute ! x
My favourite product that makes me smile is Porefessional. As soon as I first used it I was hooked. Now, I smile when unscrew the lid and smell the lovely smell of it, I smile when I put it on my face. And I smile throughout the day when I feel how soft my face, and when people compliment how smooth it makes my skin look.
@Juliathegenius
@sandysferguson
Gotta be "Hello Flawless"
I love the product. Its genuinely the best powder foundation I've ever seen and it ACTUALLY works.
Plus, that name is fantastic. Try looking in the mirror after you've used it and saying "Hello Flawless" to your skin...be careful though... you may fall in love with your own reflection hehe
♥ My favourite product would be the 'Big Beautiful Eyes kit'. ♥
Me and some friends were bored on a ferry trip to Paris so we went and bought this set to share and got some really strange looks trying to put it on without looking like we'd applied it on a rollercoaster!
My favourite has to be 'Take a picture.....it lasts longer.'
The packaging is so cheeky and reminds me of old seaside postcards.
@madwitch13
I think it has to be Dr Feel good, so many connotations! But a great product, makes your skin feel so smooth, feel so good! Great me up base, love it, love it, love it!!

Big Beautiful Eyes palette is the one for me. I start off looking in the mirror at a hideous weathered old witch and by the time I have finished with that I am turned back into a princess and happy again!
I love Stay Don't Stray Primer. It's a brilliant name and it really works too.
Really want to try Hoola but really dont like the box packaging... When will they have a more compact package for their ox products just for an alternative..... S.chen8849@gmail.com
I love Benetint, the cheek and lip tint, it gives you a really lovely blush on your cheeks and looks pretty on your lips
Absolutely Bella Bamba - and I've just about run out!
There's the obvious 'La Bamba', which is currently running around in my head at the mention of the product - but that one's been said already.
The major reason Bella Bamba makes me smile though, is that I first tried it when visiting a Benefit counter before my graduation - so its gorgeous scent always whisks me back to that day, one of the best of my life.
Plus, it makes my face look drop-dead fabulous, ALWAYS a winner.
Rush hour :]
looks lush and you just touch your face up while on the move

My grandmother (who grew up in the days when women never left the house or was seen in public without makeup) was in a rush one morning and accidentally used my BADgal Eyeliner in Espresso as a LIP LINER! We had a good laugh about it and still do (especially when I pull out the photos). LOL
chrissy.darling@yahoo.com
the product that makes me laugh the most is 'they're real' because it will always remind me of the time i lied to a cute boy in a bar and said my hair extensions were real, only to have someone tap me on the shoulder ten minutes later (in front of said boy) and tell me that my extensions had fallen into their drink and would i like my hair back...
Bella Bamba is my favourite!
@ryvita1
p.s. I've got one voucher for a facial at Origins - please check out my site for details of the giveaway. =)

The product that makes me laugh everytime it see it is Thrrrob "turned on" face powder. Just because its a bit naughty (but very nice)!!

I love They're Real, a silly name that makes me smile and a product that actually works like it's namesake!

I love the "high beam", it really does make me feel like i am beaming when i wear it!
I love 'High Beam' as it gives my skin a great sheen which puts a big smile on my afce as I feel my skin is flawless
It has to be "BADgal" eyeliner. I just love it because it reminds me of being in second year in high school where I was always wearing really smudgy, dark eyes. It's got such a cute/tough girl name as well and you feel like Megan Fox after you've applied it! xx

Take A Picture.. It lasts longer
Purely because I used to say this when I was about 12 and thought I was the smartest girl ever for thinking it and saying it.. But I didn't, I heard someone older say it and claimed it as my own. Muhaha

I love all the Benefit I own (a lot lol) but my boyfriend bought me Tattletell all for my birthday and I smile every time I see it on my desk because it means so much :) x twitter: @brendahmac
i love lemon-aid it has such a nice name to it for a eye corrector
For me it has to be the get even foundation that makes me smile. Every time I put it on, it means I'm ready for "war" (it's part of my 'darling -or any other appropriate word-, I'm awesome' outfit&makeup) and I WILL get even with everyone who's messed with me. That kind of smile. The one that scares the heck out of everyone who's done you wrong.

Love the watts up,did make me chuckle
@wooohooo2me
The product that makes me smile is Girl meets pearl (liquid pearl for the face) - the name just makes me smile.

The product that makes me smile is BADgal lash mascara. It gives me super amped up fabulous lashes which means I can skip on the falsies. Thats enough to make any girl smile!
Twitter @smudge276
I love 'Watts up' It's a great play on words and a gorgeous highlighter!!
I tried it out one day while out shopping, I then went to meet my friend and asked her if if she liked the highlighter!! When she said she did and asked what it was she got very confused when I answered 'Watt's up'!! The look on her face made me laugh!! I had to explain that was the name of it and I wasn't just starting a completely different converstaion with her!!!
@JoKiely
It has to be the playstick foundation in paper dolls.
being out until 5am, having 2 hours sleep then heading out to work looking just as good as the day before. definitely warrants a cheeky smile to yourself! ; )

@beardedsalmon
For me it's Benefit's Posietint. I am pale and it gives a beautiful english rose blush to my cheeks. When I first used it my husband smiled and reminisced, he said it reminded him of the way I blushed with our first kiss. :)
@savvybunny
I love Benefit Posietint - it makes me smile, cos I always apply it with a humumgous grin to get the apples of my cheeks!
@cheekychicken24 xx
"That Gal" has always made me giggle. It's so representative of how Benefit cosmetics are admired the world over, and are so sophisticated and lovely. It just makes me think... I want to have all the poise and beauty of "That Gal"!
@livbees
I love the Get Even Concealer in light. I'm very pale and it's perfect for me.
@EmmaHolness
I love the Hello Flawless powder. It is amazing. My friend put some on me last week and wow my skin was so smooth, and not patchy. Plus it stayed on all day and night. I was so impressed. Plus the range of colours Benefit do is brilliant. Best powder out their.
"They're real". I creased up laughing when I first saw that ad - a cross between Jessica Rabbit and Wonderbra. Priceless. And the mascara is as good as they claim!
Love High Beam - have been using it since I went into Macy's in New York and my best friend persuaded me to have a makeover. It was my first trip to New York, and the first time I had a professional makeover, and it was fantastic. Every time I use High Beam it makes me smile, remembering a fantastic holiday!
@jessicar1973
I just love hula, can't live without it, wear it everyday for that little sunshine glow, even in the winter!

I adore 'Cha Cha Tint', just the name is so vibrant which really portrays the gorgeous coral colour of Cha Cha! It's bright, colourful and just what every girl needs during these dismann times!

I love lemon-aid, it makes my eyelids look vein free, and I look brighter and more awake!

My Date's My Brother always made me smile, is this a really close family or does she not have a date? So many questions.
Love Thrrrob, as well as the sexy name and corset packaging (which make me smile), it gives a fantastic glow reminiscent of certain activities, which means I can't help but have a huge grin all day, it's like having a naughty little secret :)
Twitter: @Roxy_Randrome
Hoola never fails to make me smile. It makes me think i am in hawaii dancing away. I also bought a hoola hoop not long after my hoola bronzer purchase. I really wanted a hawaiian waist to go with my hawaiian face?? When i am making my cheeks glow i have a good laugh when i look up at the hoola hoop on top of the wardrobe gathering dust!!!!
@NorKelly -twitter
I have lots of favourites, but my all time must have is Hoola, makes me feel a whole lot better about myself in the morning's once I've applied it....look like the walking dead before I put it on!!!
Thrrobb. Cool name. Makes my feel sexy when I wear this blusher. It really suits the Irish skin colouring. I know it's an older product but I love it. @brianlisa2
I think Benefit has a number of great and fun products with perfect names. But my favourite must be Benetint. Not as much the name in this case as the original use of it and the history.
Haven't tried it though - neither on my nipples nor on my cheeks.

Love the name porefessional, so clever made me giggle :)

(Perfect) 10 is my favourite as every time I use it, I silently sing "Perfect 10" by The Beautiful South in my head.."If he's extra large, well I'm in charge, I can work this thing on top. If he's XXL, well what the hell
Every penny don't fit the slot" ;-)
Twitter name @junelai (for Perfect 10).
The house was really quiet, my boyfriend was reading a book … and I was getting really bored.
While browsing the Benefit website I found myself saying , with the most serious face I could have(in this situation:D): “I found Mr. Bright! And It’s potent!!!” When he looked at me completely surprised, I changed the serious face with a grim… and that was enough to make us both start laughing like crazy:))))
What can I say? Finding Mr. Bright made our day!:))

Sunbeam sunshine in a bottle and judging from our irish summers you would need help from a bottle This make me smile because we have summer to forward to. But if someone was to ask you how have you such a beautiful colour? I would say staying here in Ireland of course.

My favourite Benefit product also has my favourite name - 'Honey, Snap Out Of It' scrub. It always puts me in the right frame of mind to start the day!

Got to be La La Land lipstick because it reminds me of my gran. Every daft idea I ever had she trotted out "Oh, you live in La La Land!". She was right and I still do!
I love "Hula" and cannot cope without it,I use it everyday to give my skin a little glow.
High Beam - nothing else hides a hangover so effectively ;)
My favourite benefit product is brows a go go - because without this my brows are a definite no no. They always need a bit of help to make it look like I actually have eye brows as having fair hair they do need some help. Its a great little kit!

Love porefessional at the moment- although all the benefit names make me laugh!
elliework@hotmail.co.uk
I adore Theyre Real mascara, i cant wear false eyelashes (I wear glasses and poke myself in the eye whilst blindly trying to apply them lol), and this is even better than false eyelashes, transform my short stubby lashes, plus no black eyes, panda or otherwise :)Shexy eyes, mwah xx
@xxladyluck13xx
'Finding Mr Bright' - the kit is 'quite a catch' and it includes a lesson (in how to put the make up on) - what's not to smile about - now all that's needed is a bit of magic to make it really work (though I don't need it anymore, it could help out a few girls).
I love Bad Gal Lash Mascara, it is reasonably priced and gives an immaculate affect of a more expensive msscara, by separating the lashes and not clogging. It really makes me smile
My best friend bought me Benefit's Maybe Baby fragrance when I was pregnant with my little boy. I can't smell it now without thinking of this incredibly happy time in my life and the fragrance will always make me smile. @RedRoseMummy
I swear that my Porefessional has magical powers! I just have no idea how it does what it does, but it just does, and it's wonderful!
