I've had this on my dressing table for almost 10 years...the box is a gorgeous confection and although I hardly ever use it (my opportunities to throw glitter all over having dwindled some), I think I will always have one, just to secretly puff it all over my husband while he sleeps.

I like the ida of this pouffy-thing thats already got the sparkly powder pressed within it...I kind of pat it onto my legs and arms to give that something extra. However, it runs out VERY QUICKLY. I wouldn't but this again, there are far cheaper alternatives out there - and seeing as it's just a bit of glitter, it's not really worth the price. Once the glitter's gone there's no need to keep it - you'll never get rid of the glitter completely so it's not like you can use it for anything else. Pleasant enough though, definitely won't be wasting any of my money on another one though.

I actually like this product-- I love the scent and the shimmer it gives -- but not the price :( I feel there are a lot of similar products out there that will have the same shimmmer effect at a much LOWER cost. For that, I could only give it 3 lippie...and I probably won't buy it again.

Meow? Rather more like yawn! I was so excited to try this product and when it arrived I wondered why! The packaging is great, sure, but that doesn't go very far. There isn't much too it, I don't think "subtle" is the right word for this: more like "elusive"! I thought for a while I had gotten a defective product because nothing came out of the puff. For five minutes I considered returning the product, of calling Sephora and asking for an explanation. Finally, I decided to go with another reviewer's advice and shake the box. When it did, I was unimpressed and still in hope of more...of something..of anything! I'm not generally impressed with Benefit and this experience only confirms it.Disappointed as usual

Besides having adorable packaging...I love this shimmer/powder. I usually over do it. A little goes a long way ;)

I love this box! It smells great and delivers a nice shimmer - too much to use on a daily basis, though. Great for the nighttime. Cute stuff!

The team behind BeneFit are marketing geniuses. Like much of their stuff, this is an average product in beautiful packaging - you'll feel like a fairy princess while you're using it, but the effect is a glittery sprinkle that looks a bit silly. There are far better highlighters out there. Although I'll admit, Kitten does smell great.

CUTE PACKAGE! I love the little box this is in. The actual shimmer is nice, but I mean it's just a typical shimmer. It smells pretty nice too, but the reason I bought this was because of how cute the package looks on my vanity. I want the whole set!

I love benefit kitten shimmer powder! I have the one with the black puff that has coppery pink shimmer i believe. It has a nice light scent but won't overpower your perfume if you're worried. It comes in a round cardboard box decorated with a kitten shopping and these are so cute to keep even when you're done with the puff (which i can't imagine running out of because there's so much product in it!) The puff is so soft and pretty! I still have my first one, but i don't use it all the time. If i did, i still imagine i would have the first one. I want to get the other ones, but this one makes tan skin stand out, or even fair skin, which i have, but when i get a tan it looks really nice for a fun time out!

I got this as a birthday present way back when it first came out and I still have the same box! I don't know if it is ever going to run out. It barely has a scent which is nice and the shimmer is so pretty on my skin. Yay for Kitten!

i bought this on a whim while on vacation in las vegas. i tested all of the kitten powders and decided to go with this one as my first buy (i will probably buy the other kitten powders also). the bronzy color looks really good on tanned skin (although it also looked awesome on my friend who is pale...gave her just a slight shimmer). i love the cute kitten box packaging and actually like it that the powder is inside the puff (keeps the mess way way down). i couldn't really smell the scent that was supposedly there but that wasn't really the point of me buying it. i used it lightly during the day and a bit heavier at night. good results with both applications and had compliments from dh with it.

what i love about benefit cosmetics is that everything is packaged so adorably! kittenish is my favorite. it comes in a cute pink package with a pretty poof and it smells wonderful. however, there is not much glitter inside and it is barely visible when you put it on.

Cute idea, but the actually delivery stinks. I can't seem to get much product out of the puff, which is incredibly irritating. Also, there is no way to know how much is remaining and I feel like most of the product gets caught in the puff and wasted. The scent is undetectable. The powder is very pretty (if you cna get it out), so I would love it if the packaging was more like Urban Decay's so that I had more control. Bummer.

Really adds that visible yet delicate sparkle to your skin. Eveningwear. Keep the dress simple
and let yourself go on the makeup to complete your success.
Anyway, the cats on the packaging makes me want to buy them all. Maybe to use the box for cattreats.
The puff never adds too much glitter.

I have the Kitten Classic puff and I really like it because the powder is contained within the puff and when applied gets on your body, not the sheets...your clothes...the floor...etc. like so many other shimmer powders. Of course I adore my Urban Decay body powders, but this BeneFit one is so much more subtle, better for a daytime look or when you don't want to look so 'done.'

I have the original and the Paris versions of Kitten. I have had the original for a few years as it lasts ages, a little poof of the puff goes a long way! The box it comes in is so cute!

This stuff is just so cute I couldn't resist buying myself the giftset that came with the Kitten lip gloss. The packaging is adorable. I have 3 cats, and I adore cats, so I want all three Kitten powders just for the packages. I bought the champagne shimmer powder which has a very light floral fragrance, and very soft pinky-beigy shimmer powder in a fluffy puff. The puff is soft and pampering. The powder is very pretty and looks especially good in candlelight! If you like sexy powder in an irresistble package - Kitten is purrrfect! (sorry - couldn't resist) My husband even noticed this (he's been known to take 3 days to notice a different hair color on me) and said it was "pretty" and "sexy" and "like pixie dust." He also thought it smelled nice - not overpowering, just enjoyable.

Nothing can beat UD powders for me! THe only good thing about this product is the great packaging and it is an original idea. I think it's neat how the powder is in the puff and it's in such a pretty box. However, the powder is VEry subtle and there is no scent. Good for some, bad for others. I tend to like shimmer that is not as noticeable on some days so it works for me. I don't regret buying it but i wouldn't buy it again.

THANK GOD I bought is on ebay for a fraction of the cost, instead of paying full retail for this product...beacuse this is definintely NOT worth $25! Cute packaging and puff, but scent and sparkle have NO staying power! Will try Urban Decay next time!

A good friend of mine gave me the Kitten in Champagne as a gift and I was thrilled! I am still thrilled! However, the sparkle doesn't last and from the very first time I used it, most of the shimmer powder comes out of the TOP of the puff rather than the bottom. I even tried putting it on over a thick moisturizer, but no matter what I try, it's gone by the time I make it from my bathroom to the car. It doesn't smell like much really and what it does smell like is only what you smell when you actually sniff the puff...the scent doesn't linger on your skin. It's a pretty shimmer, but doesn't last.

As with most BeneFit products, I loove the packaging, though!
