Want List Wednesday # 6: Benefit's Hervana Blush

In line with Benefit Cosmetics's launch here in the Philippines which is next month btw, I have recently found out that they have a new blush coming out this February 2012! I know it is still too far from that date but you'll never know because of how fast time flies!

Without further ado, I introduce you to Hervana!

I would like to think of it as Sugarbomb's baby sister. It is also a combination of 4 colors namely shell, peach, rose and berry to create that heavenly flush of enlightenment as what Benefit describes it.

It is housed in a purple box with clouds  and rays of the sun on it, along with a halo on top of the name! It also says good karma in the front so I guess this color will make you feel heavenly while applying it.

This will look great either applied together or individually.

Look at the promo! So cute!



Can't wait for February!

September Favorites

Hello everyone! It is now October and I haven't done a favorites post in a while as I have not acquired new stuff that much recently. One of these I purchased at the end of August, and the rest are what I already have.

Benefit Coralista

-As I said in a tag which you can see here, I had only one blush which was this one. In the back of my mind, I was imagining your thoughts. I mean, its obvious that this is my favorite one because this is the only one I have, but I wasn't wearing blush that much back then. It is during this month that I was constantly using it, almost everyday. So I guess, the favorite part here really, is putting on blush. Case closed.

Coralista with the brush I never use but still keep

This blush is a peachy pink color with gold shimmer in it. It doesn't have specks of glitter like what I had imagined when I purchased it last year so I was relieved. Not that a glitter infused blush is bad, it really is just a matter of preference. It really gives a natural flush to the cheeks and is pigmented.  I would say that this blush is great for all skintones.

Want List Wednesday #3: Benefit Cosmetics

Hello everyone.
So I mentioned in a previous post that Benefit Cosmetics will be hitting the Philippine shores soon. In line with that, I wanted to share with you some of my most wanted things from the company.

1. POREfessional
-This is a primer that fills in your pores to make them look smaller. This is not however a pore minimizer, it is just a temporary remedy for those who have large pores.

Benefit Cosmetics in the Philippines?!

WOW.

I'm actually imagining what the counter would be like! I'm sure it would be just as fancy as this photo above.

I know I haven't posted a thing in almost a week and I apologize. I will try and post this coming days to make it up. :)

Anyhoo, I read in other blogs that Benefit Cosmetics is coming here in Manila. HOOOORAY!

There is no definite date yet, but you can check out their Facebook page here to get all the inside scoops of the brand.

As for my wishlist, I guess I'll be doing that in my Want List Wednesday next week. So excited!

Going Gaga over ChaCha

The new Benefit lip and cheek stain that is. I have read beauty blogs about this and everybody seems to rave about it.

The new Benefit Chachatint is an addition to their already famous line of lip and cheek stains which include Benetint and Posietint. It is described as mango-tinted, which is like a coral hue. It is $29 a pop which seems quite pricey for a stain, but this will last you forever because a little goes a very long way. Only a few dabs on each cheek and you will be good to go!

I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Have you tried it yet? What are your thoughts?
