Her March Madness! @ Benefit

Yesterday it was raining. It rained after i got back from a wedding. I was my brother's partner, how pathetic and boring my sunday was. Since it ras a rainy sunday with nothin much to do, i found something interesting to do. SHOP!

Syasya, Cintahati's sister, reminded me that my lipgloss were running low. And so it was a great opportunity to fill in. And there you go, just the stop at Benefit and i'm glued. Well, not like i haven't thought of the pretty M.A.C's Hello Kitty collection but i just totally loathe Hello Kitty itself. And i thought Bobbi Brown was a bit on the pricey side (since i blew my savings on inner wear at La Senza earlier) and therefore opted for Benefit.

I had been eye-ing for Benefit since the first makeover i had, the same day i met Cintahati, (seriously!) but since i was still a student then, i had no fund for make-ups. But it never failed to make me smile and wait for new items with the twist of quirkiness. The vintage look of the fresh item just makes me drool over and over again!

Okay, back to Benefit, so my mission no.1 and only is to get Her Glossiness. Right! I didn't. The Beauty artist, Jennifer offered me to try the Lemon Aid since i was asking about high brow. I was kinda interested in the effect. Then she asked me to try Lyin' Eyes, for the dark circle and there you go. She ended up doing a whole make-over for me. With Benetint to Coralista, the new pretty blusher to Bad Gal lash mascara to You Rebel foundation to the ever-gorgeous Skinny Dip lipstick.

So after all that and the patient brother, i ended up buying 3 items, the must haves no.1 (that means the remaining items should be on the wish list!) The Lemon Aid for the lazy girl who is too lazy to apply eye shadows for the more natural pretty look, the Lyin' Eyes which worked like magic and give you some kind of glow and Her Glossiness which looks so kissable any time you wave that wand.

And so, who says makeup has to be serious to look good? It took her less than 10 minutes to get me done and Voila! i felt like a pweetyyyyyy pwincess out of covergirl magazine (yerrite!)..... All that for a good RM251 minus the RM10 rebate from Parkson. Yay!! More and more savings.

So here's the items i got, believe me when you read the descriptions and test and tried for yourselves.
1. Lemon Aid
Wake up your eyelids with this warm yellow correcting cream. It helps to hide redness & discoloration on your eyelids. In a snap, eyes look refreshed, frisky and ready for fun.
Tips and tricks: Pat on eyelids with your fingertip & blend. Wear alone or under makeup.

2. Lyin’ Eyes
A quick concealing pen that gives you minimum coverage and maximum results. With just a click you get the right amount of sheer tinted concealer that brushes on medium coverage. It's swift, fast, and oh-so sly. Apply anytime, under or over makeup, perfect for mid-day touchups.


3. Her glossiness : talk to my agent
Gloss your way to the top... this impossibly shiny gloss glides on smooth for A-list lips that will give 'em something to gossip about. The luxurious formula with jojoba oil makes your lips feel five-star pampered... as if they'd expect anything less!


And also the Wishlist! (Hopefully that someone drops by my blog today!)

1. Dr Feel Good
This is a new idea for smooth, silky, matte skin. It's dr. feelgood - our complexion miracle worker! This colorless, weightless balm goes on bare skin or glides over makeup to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores while soaking up excess oil. Enriched with Vitamins A, C and E, dr. feelgood is just what the doctor ordered for beautiful, healthy skin!
Tips and tricks: Using the sponge provided, pat and smooth dr. feelgood on your face, giving special attention to any areas with fine lines or enlarged pores. Continue to use throughout the day for quick and flawless touch ups!

2. You Rebel
You rebel, our bestselling defiantly different tinted moisturizer with SPF 15, now comes in a brand new "lite" shade specifically formulated for fair-skinned rebels. You rebel lite casts just a hint of tint. And just like her big, defiant sis, you rebel lite is loaded up with soothing aloe, antioxidant Vitamin E & Vitamin A for soft, supple skin. So glow wild!

3. High brow
Highlight your brow bone for an instant brow lift. This linen-pink pencil leaves your eyes lovely & younger looking... it's a stroke of pink genius! Lesson included.
Tips and tricks: Apply pencil under your brow following the arch. Lightly blend. For more arch appeal, put two dots above the arch & blend

4. Coralista (New!)
Take a tropical pleasure trip with CORALista. Sweep this coral pink powder onto cheeks anytime, anywhere. Move your brush to the beat & turn up the heat... bikini optional!
Tips and tricks: Swirl brush in the box & blow off excess. Smile & brush lightly across the apples of your cheeks, starting from the hairline and working in. - Jean & Jane Ford

5. Bad Gal
With a big, bad brush and a rich, black formula, BADgal lash mascara is like wearing a set of false eyelashes without the glue.
Tips and tricks: Not sure what kind-a BADgal you were born to be? We'll help you decide. If you want the biggest, blackest lashes around, BADgal lash is for you. For a pop of color, layer BADgal blue or BADgal plum on the tips of your lashes. BADgal... it's all in the family!
