Review: Benefit Benetint

My second review of benefit benetint! Didn't give much elaboration on the first one so i decided to make another for more details.:) Well, I've been using this product for a year and now on my second bottle...I can say that it's one of the best blush i have used! Without a doubt, It was voted "best blush" by Elle magazine in 2006 and was feautured in some magazines for being the best product.

I was pretty amazed the first time i used this, i was using tarte flush and bodyshop lip&cheek tint before and was satisfied with it until i tried this "Award winning and Benefit's best selling product", I was hooked instantly and become a fan of it!!!! At first i resisted to purchase this blush because of the hefty price tag. But the idea looks so promising, i gave in after hearing everybody saying this as the best lip & cheek tint in the market. And they're absolutely right! And now,i have my third bottle waiting when my second one runs out.:)

What I Love About It:

This "sexiest flush you can get from a bottle"has a naturally sheer and sexy on all complexions is buildable from the sheerest application to a bright flush. It work wonders on the lips too, It gives my lips a very natural red tint that suits in any occasion. Just by bringing a bottle of it can give you a pretty look that won't be needing a lot of makeup on. It has an overwhelming scent of roses, that smells pretty good on my cheeks, but it's a bit weird if i put it on my lips coz i can taste the rose petal of it-but i'm already used to it! so no problem bout that.

My second bottle.:)

<

The Applicator resembles the brush of a nail polish.:) isn't cute??

Directions:

Apply three dots to the apples of your cheeks and blend quickly with fingertips. Add a few more dots for deeper color.

Pros:

-It stays put for a long time! A record for more than 24 hours of wearing it and the bright flush is still there.:)

-It has a water consistency that can easily absorbed by skin to prevent the greasy feeling after application.

-A bottle can lasts you a long time.

Cons:

-The glass container, it has danger for it to be shattered or broken if not handled properly.

-If the benetint isn't capped tightly it will leak all over your purse or makeup case, but if you do capped it too tightly the plastic lid will cracked ruining the sealing mechanism..you won't be able to bring it anywhere with you.

-Rose Extract: Some people may be allergic to it, be cautious and know the ingredients first.

-Pricey, 12.5ml bottle for $28

Tips & Tricks:

-It get dries quickly so blend it asap coz it may look uneven.

-Use a gloss after applying benetint on your lips, to prevent your lips from cracking or drying out.

-Don't use if you're suffering from acne/pimple, it will magnify it.

-Suitable for fair/medium skin tone.

Overall Verdict:

I'm head over heels with this blush! You just need to learn the right technique and you'll surely fall in love with it. I always apply benetint to awaken my complexion, the color looks good and natural on my skin. As for the lips, it has an effect of "eating a cherry popsicle stick". It clings on pretty good, and with it's long lasting effect i won't be needing to go to the bathroom for touch-ups from time to time. It's sheer tint gives you an innocent yet provocative glow that will surely will keep everone guessing “what has she been up to?”. Overall, I'm rapt with this product!

Reviews: Clinique All About Eyes Rich

A Bit of Intro...

I've known the brand "Clinique" all my life. My Mom & Grandma used to bring me to Rustan's when i was little to check out their new products. So, i have this notion that clinique is for grown-ups and oldies, with a very basic packaging and so i never get excited whenever i saw their items. As time goes by, the moment i'm in my addicted to makeup stage, i tried looking for exciting products from Sephora and that's the time Benefit, Urban decay, Duwop, Too Faced, and many more has come to my life. Though Clinique do make reliably decent skincare basics but still i wouldn't fork out more than 1-2 thousand pesos for their single jar of cream.

Until one day, i started to notice my skin around my eyes are starting to get dull..Dark and puffy eyes has invade me and i tried so hard to make it go away by applying such creams to eliminate it. With no such luck, i tried to ask my mom for help and she bought me this eye cream.

She told me that Clinique is one of the best skincare on the block after using them for more than 20 years!! She has managed to have a very gentle, smooth and less wrinkled skin over the years by using this faithful product line of hers. So i tried using them on that evening to test it out.


They Say:

-Moisture-rich eye cream diminishes the look of undereye circles, shadows, fine lines-instantly and over time. De-puffs, calms with botanicals. Helps boost natural collagen production. Strengthens skin's moisture barrier against common irritants.


Product Experience:

-After a few days of using it, i notice a slight changes over my eye area..fine lines seems to minimize, puffiness lessens, and the intense moisturizer makes it soft as a baby! It really do makes the eyes appears beautifully rich! It's a cream but a bit of gel-based that instantly absorbs by the skin right after application. It's fragrance free and no greasy feeling after using this. It really does give a desirable result that some other brands quite lacking. This product is mild enough that makes my skin moisturize and rehydrates the dry areas. I can see why it got such amazing reviews!


How to use:

-Use morning and night after 3-Step Skin Care System.
-With ring finger, apply sparingly to entire eye area using a gentle patting motion.


Last Words:

-Try to give it a shot if you need some serious moisture for delicate undereye skin at an affordable price.

Reviews:Nars Orgasm

I've heard so much reviews about this particular blush, the raves of different people dying to own this cult favorite best of Sephora blush! Well, they claimed that this universally flattering shade has been the favorite of most beauty editors, makeup addicts, makeup artists, celebrities and lot more. So after hearing the good reviews of this ultimate favorite of all blush, i decided to try to own this product.

I tried to look at Rustan's essenses in Glorietta but unfortunately they were out of stock. So i tried visiting Shangrila to look for it, and luckily they only have 1 left. Oh, and my mom was also celebrating her birthday so she has 20% off on all items using her citibank card!!! Lucky me!:p Then we went home afterwards, i was just staring the packaging and just sliding my fingers across the black compact case. I was so excited to get home so i could test it, forgot to bring my blush brush that time so i can't tried it while i was in the car.










What I love About it:

-The peachy pink shade really looks good on my skintone, making it look so natural. It also imparts a slight shimmer making my face glows. It can be layered on for more intensity but still looks good and doesn't look too overdo. It gives a very natural luminous sheen to my complexion that goes with any makeup look. It can be worn for formal and even for casual affairs.

Pros:

-It lasts pretty long.
-Suits any complexion.
-It has a decent size that will surely lasts for a long time.


Cons:

-Too pricey.
-The rubberized case/packaging can easily attracts dirt.


Overall Verdict:

-Nars Orgasm is really good, It's a bit expensive, yes, but i just decided to have it after reading the hype over this product and multitudes of consumer reviews and magazine ravings about the perfection of this color on every skin tone. I'm pretty impressed with it and gives a gentle flush of color on my face. Being allure's #1 best blush?? I don't think so..Don't get me wrong, i love this blush but for me the best is still "BENETINT". This blush may be the second best blush for me.:) If i want to go for a naturally reddish look I'll go for benetint, and for peachy pink look..then Nars Orgasm is the one.:D

Dealing with Hypothyroid

Life is so unfair!! sometimes i can't understand why do i have to deal with this kind of problem. I can't accept why of all in our family, i'm the one who got this?!

I'm the good sheep in the family. I don't have vices, i don't rebel and especially i don't do bad things to people. I'm just an average person, just want to stay home and enjoy the moment with my family and boyfriend. I don't even party, smokes, drink or thrash around. Eversince, i'm never a problem to my family in terms of growing up becoming a teenager coz i never wanted to try those bad stuffs which normal teenager normally does.

I just don't understand why me? who do i have to suffer this kind of illnesss. Oh, for people who doesn't know what hypothyroidism is, it's:

It is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. And with that i have to suffer from a very slow metabolism which could lead me to weight gain. Eventhough i have to eat a very little amount of food but still i would gain weight, and to lose those pounds i have to strive 3x harder compared to other people! It's just damn too hard! I can't even take any diet pills to help me slim down a little faster coz of the medication i'm taking! it's so unfair! It's been 5 years already since i'm suffering from this kind of illness. I can't eat a lot anymore for i get easily ballooned up! I hate it when people compare me to my sister blah blah and blah blah, they just don't know the reason behind it! I hate it when people told me to do this and do that coz it works on them ..oh well, they don't have this kind of problem so people wouldn't understand! i hate it! even in my young age i already have a very slow metabolism, so just imagine having hypothyrodism could slower your metabolism 2x more! not only that, but constipation, depression, memory loss, and a lot more!

Some of my relatives do have thyroid but they're lucky coz they got hyperthryroidism instead. It's the other way around. Instead of getting fat, they get thinner and thinner no matter what they eat. I think 3 of my relative has this and i'm the only one who got Hypothyroid! isn't it unfair?!

Most important thing to me is to have my weight get back to normal. I hate it when people can't understand it, everybody wants to look good and to receive compliment from people...and it's not my fault if i'm suffering with this kind of illness! and can't do the same thing with everybody else. I'm still doing my part but it is so slow like it could take forever.

Sick!:(

It's been quite a while since my last post here. I was running with fever few days ago and i just can't get up and do my stuff. I was just sleeping the whole time and feel myself burning up with my lower back that is terribly painful!!! I don't know how it started but 3 days ago i suddenly felt so tired along with awful headaches...I thought that i was just tired and sleepy coz i've been running around like crazy at home doing stuffs. But the next day, i felt weak and i can't get up!!! I can't even eat and felt like throwing up the whole time. So i just spent my past few days sleeping or if not just staring at the ceiling. I can't do anything! and not in the mood to read a good book or even watch TV. It's so boring!!!! Well, i'm glad that i'm already recovered and i'm left behind with those workloads..!! will post again for next couple of days!:)
