Benefit Haul
Pampered myself with some makeup from Benefit in January this year, when benefitcosmetics.com was having a promo code for free international shipping for purchases US$115 and above in.
I have not tried any Benefit stuffs previously because I find that Benefit is quite overpriced at my local counters, so I was uber excited to finally lay my hands on some of their makeup!
The box is rather small and light as compared to those I usually get from Gmarket.
It arrived faster than expected! Reached my doorstep in less than 2 weeks and my goodies tightly packed. No items arrived smashed or broken and the packaging were in pristine condition.
My haul in their full glory!
I've got many many things (Haha, just kidding! Merely 6 items). One of it is the Ceaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Recess. It is a neutral shade that blends into my skin and helps brighten up my lids. I am not loving these as they tend to crease in my inner corners. But the packaging is really cute though!
I found this at the BUH-BUYS corner and I cannot find this on the website anymore, my guess is that this shade might have been discontinued.
I also got a Realness of Concealness mini "fake-it" kit, which contains their top selling concealers and enhancers. I mainly got it because this kit consists miniatures of the famous High Beam which is a complexion enhancer, Lemon Aid a colour correcting eyelid primer and Boi-ing a concealer.
The kit also consists of Ooh La Lift an under-eye brightener and Lip Plump a lip primer. Too bad it doesn't have the famous Erase Paste. :(
I also managed to score a kit which has 3 cheek colours! So happy that I can try out 3 different cheek colours without buying 3 separate products!! This kit contains:-
- Hoola a bronzing powder
- Coralista, like its name is a coral blush
- Dallas a bronzer/blush
- a small brush
From the BUH-BUYS corner, I also got a Girls' Night In!! kit. This is a very value for money kit! I believe its still available at the website.
The kit consists of:-
- Talent Brush - shadow/liner synthetic-bristle brush
- Full-Finish Lipstick in Lady's Choice
- Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner in Birthday Suit
- Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner in Skinny Jeans
- plastic makeup bag with zip
- collectible mannequin magnets
On the website, Skinny Jeans is described as pretty pewter and Birthday Suit is described as brushed chrome. I have not tried them yet... Actually, besides the Creaseless Crease Shadow/Liner in Recess, I haven't try out the rest yet. The first-in-first-out rule. Hehe~
The useless magnets... :p
My three GWPs. A full-sized eyeshadow in Soft Shoulder, a sample of Dr Feel Good which is a complexion balm that helps to mattify shine and Erase Paste (yay!!!) a concealer.
I actually got two more lipsticks from the BUH-BUYS corner, a Full-Finish Lipstick in Passionista and a Silky Finish Lipstick in Fruit Cocktail which I gave to my mom as her birthday present.
I didn't really spend a lot on this haul as quite a few of the items were on sale and I didn't buy any other makeup that month.
P.S. I am currently on a point makeup ban (ie no blushers, no eye shadows, no lippies, no eyeliners) until mid September. My point makeup ban started beginning of this month and I am glad to say that I have resisted all temptations thrown in my way.
However, that does not mean that there wouldn't be any more haul posts as I still have some backlog to clear. Until then!!
