Product Review: Posietint

Posietint is the pink version of the most famous and bestselling, Benetint. When i first heard of this product, and saw the actual pic of it all over the net, i did a little research about it and look for a personal review of it. I saw that people prefer this over the predecessor that they're selling their half used product just to have this.

Personal Review:

-The bottle looks ravishing! It's coated with metallic pink finish that has a nail polish type applicator, which i find it easier to use. The product itself is somewhat creamy/milky, unlike benetint it has an inky texture. This is a product where less is most definetely more! A little of it goes a long way. The first time i tried using this, i put too much that i ended up looking like a clown.haha The pink effect of this blush fits to lighter skintones, it's buildable and imparts a nice glow after wearing for a couple of minutes. It also has a slight fragrance that smells really good on the cheeks. A really nice product but be cautious in applying, i tried putting 3 dots on my cheeks and it ends up the part on which i dotted becomes darker than the rest and it looks blotchy! Tried applying it in swipe but i ended up having a distinct stripe on my cheeks the whole day. So to make it even try putting in your fingers first before spreading it over your cheeks. It also strikes a nice balance between dewy and matte. So for people who has an oily skin be sure to dab a powder right after application. It also looks good on the lips, making it look natural with long lasting color that doesn't feel like wearing anything. The color of it makes you feel young, healthy & glowy.


Pros:

-The cream consistensy is a bit thicker and would give you enough time to spread it over your cheeks before it dries out.

-All natural look for both cheeks and lips.

- It really stays put all day.


Cons:

-The metallic finish on the bottle can chip off all over the place.

-The color of it doesn't compliment all skintones.


Overall Verdict:

-In all honestly, i personally like and prefer benetint rather than this. I'm not a big fan of a milky type and pinkish look since my natural blush is reddish tomato especially coming right after the gym. Though it's not my everyday blush, still it would look great in some occasions. Like the time when i want to have this barbie doll look, this blush would surely fit and suit my look and for my lips to get this baby pink pout. But i really admire this product as it provides just the right amount of color.

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: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

Coastal Palette(Contouring & Blush)

I bought this palette online after i learned how to contour and highlight. Contouring helps in defining and enhancing the facial features..it sculpts and alters your facial structure making it more symmetrical. It will make your face appears more prominent and refined. With the right brushes & application tool you can contour your face easily.

This contour palette is packaged in a black case holding 6 large pans. The powders are all matte, after all you don't want to use shimmer or pearl powders while contouring. The darker brown is used for contouring. By using angled brushes, sweep lightly across the powder make sure that you tapped off the excess, then start swiping it below the cheekbone(be sure to blend it properly), the jawline and your temples. It gives an illusion of slimmer and more defined face, and you may use it on your chin if you have a long chin...you can also apply the darker shade on either side of the bridge of the nose and apply the highlight on the bridge to have an illusion of longer and sharper nose. The white one is for highlighting, swipe it above your cheeks, brow bone, above the lips and forehead. The cream is color is for concealing and the others are blushes for different skintones.

I was impressed with this palette and it's my new everyday essential. Though the only drawback of this product for me is the contouring shade, it is a bit darker for my skintone so i have to control in applying it so it won't look like some dirt spread below my cheekbone. Tip: Use contouring shade that is 2 shades darker of your skintone...i think the contouring shade is 3-4x darker of my skintone. At first, i had been debating with myself whether or not to spend the money on a product that is used for a technique that i never actually tried before, but it's definetely worth trying! To sum it all up, this is such a great deal! For $19, it comes with a huge pans that will last you for a long time. It's a great investment for every makeup professionals and makeup lovers. It's everything you need in one palette. A versatile palette indeed!

Benefit Benetint-RoseTinted lip&Cheek Stain

Finally I have Benetint!:) I love this product so much! It gives me a perfect rosy glow. It's easy to apply, just apply 3 dots or swipe it in your cheeks then blend it quickly and Voila! It gives you a natural blush! You should also know how much to put on or otherwise you would end up looking like a clown. Benetint has a long staying power that can lasts you thrughout the day. As for the scent, benetint leaves a hint of rose on your cheeks which smells good. You can also put in your lips, it looks great but it's kinda weird because it taste like a rose petal. The product is a bit pricey but definetely worth it! It's like a trophy in my makeup kit, I would never leave the house without it.:)
