Quirky San Francisco brand Benefit has been providing makeup solutions to ladies worldwide for years, and now they're here in Beijing.

Behind the fun and frivolous names, however, are unique products that justify their cult status. "Body so fine" (RMB 360) is a delicious velvety body balm, while we love the "Dr. Feelgood" (RMB 330) skin mattifier, which leaves skin silky-smooth. Other renowned products include Benetint cheek glow (RMB 350), and Dandelion "perk-me-up" facial powder (RMB 330).

There's more to this brand than the novelty factor, but in the words of Benefit themselves, laughter really is the best cosmetic.
