Shopping at Benefit Cosmetics Online

Paris B 34 Comments

A while ago, I itched to get something from Benefit Cosmetics, but I balked at paying the high prices we pay here in Malaysia. Yet, I did not have enough in my shopping cart to warrant the free international shipping with purchases of $100 and above. So, I contacted a few friends to share in a bulk order, and 2 weeks ago, our order was placed.

Here are my goodies from Benefit Cosmetics which I received a couple of days ago. Shipping from the USA took just about 2 weeks to Malaysia from the date of the order which I found speedy enough. Also, I was entitled to free shipping since the total purchase exceeded $100. I was glad because the shipping would have cost me $27+ otherwise!Continue Reading

Benefit Erase Paste – Some thoughts

Paris B 8 Comments

Ever since Benefit Cosmetics came out with their new Erase Pasteicon concealer I’d been wanting to try it. Is it really as good as they tout it to be?

Benefit says that it is a brightening concealer for the eyes and face. Some early reviews I’d read on it had nothing but good things to say about Erase Pasteicon and what a wonderful godsend it was as a concealer, so naturally, when I saw it being sold here in Kuala Lumpur, I leapt at the chance to test it out.

Tips: The magic of Concealer and How to apply concealer

Paris B 31 Comments

I discovered concealer by accident.

Someone had sent me a pan of Benefit Boi-ing Concealer but at the time, I was not so familiar with makeup, and had no idea what a Boi-ing was. So, I tossed it in my drawer and forgot about it, until one day when I came across it again. A quick Google search told me it was a concealer by Benefit Cosmetics and another quick Google search taught me how to apply concealer.

Voila! With concealer, my eye circles from late nights had magically disappeared! I looked fresh, bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to tackle yet another daunting work day! 🙂 Next, a dab on concealer on any blemishes or uneven pigmentation and suddenly, flawless skin!

Now, concealer is indispensable for me. Let me show you the difference having concealer on makes to the under eye area. Be warned, scary untouched up pictures ahead! Continue Reading

New Benefit PosieTint Lip and Cheek Stain

I’m hardly ever tempted by cream or liquid blushes because previous experiences did not leave me with a good impression. However, the new Benefit PosieTinticon lip and cheek stain is suddenly calling out to me.

Don’t ask me why. I was not tempted by BeneTint although I know lots of people love it (I also know lots of people who hate it) and pink isn’t really a colour I like for the cheeks.

However, an online review I read described Posie Tint as Chanel Narcisse blush in a bottle, and I love Narcisse! Yes I know its a light pink that doesn’t work well on darker skintones but I love it on me. Does this mean I’ll like PosieTinticon too?

I won’t expect to see it here in Malaysia for a while – Erase Paste isn’t expected till June 2008 (I asked at the local counter about it and I got blank looks until the manager came along).  Dare I run the risk and order online for US$28? It’ll be cheaper… 😉
