Benefit Cosmetics Fake Up Review

Concealers, I believe is one of the best makeup invention ever. They help hide imperfections and make the wearer look flawless. However, there are some concealers that settles on wrinkles and fine lines and some cake after a couple minutes of use or when topped with a loose powder which makes you look not so flawless anymore. Well, here’s one concealer product I just discovered recently that will make you forget other concealers — Benefit Cosmetics Fake Up!

The launch was super fun as Benefit Cosmetic Marketing Team and their beauty ambassador Alyanna Martinez had a small play to make introducing the product way much interesting than the usual. Alyanna as the professor, Donna as Frenchie, RJ as the detective and Paula as Ms.Hydration.

BeneTint and ChaChaTint Review

Benefit Cosmetics just opened their flagship store yesterday at Greenbelt 5 where we now have a chance to tinker and touch all those Benefit Cosmetics we drool about and wait patiently to get on hand via our online shopping.

Their most popular items are their lips and cheeks tint, BeneTint and ChaChaTint price range Php1,000++.

Product Info
Its an instant flush in a bottle. BeneTint is an innocent, yet provocative rose tinted cheek stain that is see through. ChaCha Tint is a mango-tinted lip and cheek stain.

What I think about it?
For the ChaChaTint you should immediately blend it as soon as you apply or it will stains that is hard to remove.
For the BeneTint you need a couple of layers/ application to achieved the reddish tint you want since it becomes transparentBoth are great to be used at the beach as it won’t bleed or smear-off in water or as you sunbathe.
Both are great to use if you want the no make up sunkissed look.

Do I recommend them?
If you go for a no makeup look and goes to the beach more often, then you will love this. Its not suited for mature skin and thise who do the whole works in makeup tho. The ChaCha and Bene Tint are perfect for younger skun and young people like highschool and college students who will look better without too much makeup.

Benefit Cosmetics Philippines Preview Party

This is the real deal, the Benefit Cosmetics Philippines Preview Party finally happened. Actually there were two makeup party batches, last Monday and last Tuesday. I went on the Tuesday party and I was soooo happy and sooo excited!

I was a bit late coming from my “complete workout” at Browhouse (will tell you more about that experience later) and some of the girls were already in the makeup counter playing with the goodies.

I squeezed my way in and here’s what’s in there and the items you will see on December 15, 2011 opening of Benefit Cosmetics Philippines in Greenbelt 5. Woot!

Yay!
