‘The Rich is Back’ Collaboration Kit

What happens when London-based pop-print perfectionist Matthew Williamson and San Francisco beauty magicians Benefit take a trip back to the disco days? Things get bold, sparkly and utterly covetable.

For the past few seasons, the team at Benefit have paired with Williamson to gloss and glam the designer’s runway show models, giving them that perfect free-spirited, fresh-faced beauty that shines alongside Williamson’s bright, boho-chic designs. This month, they’re bringing the creative collaboration to Sephora in a pretty little limited-edition beauty box that’s ready to take you from the streets to Studio 54.

With Williamson opting for a look that’s au natural with a kick, “The Rich is Back” kit includes four shimmery shadows, Benefit’s unbeatable bronzer, mini mascara and a red lip that would give anyone a flash of fever. Packaged in prints, the box itself is a kaleidoscopic retrospective of some of Williamson’s most memorable collections (and a keepsake of it’s own if you pop the makeup tray out).

For Williamson and Benefit’s first fashion-beauty collaboration, the day-to-night dazzle kit seems a perfect pairing of brands sharing what Williamson calls an “irreverent sense of fun, youth, and energy.” With a color palette that recalls the decade of Benefit’s founding, Williamson’s first ever fashion muse, his mother, and the spirit that defined the Seventies, it seems a match a long time in the making. Here’s hoping there’s more to come.

This adorable clutch from design team Oui Odile is chic and irresistible. I love its old Hollywood glamour and beautiful rose gold hardware. It’s fun while still maintaining a level of sophistication.
