Benefit's Rockateur & Hydra Lipcolor | Review

Hello Angels

Time for me to gear up in my Benebabe suit! On my plate i have 2 of the most looked forward to Benefit products for review. Rocketeur blush and Hydra Lipcolor.

Benefit's boxed blushes are very famous among beauty lovers. And the Rocketeur is one of their latest offering. Beside from the gorgeous packaging, i absolutely adore the 'Rock' embossing on the blusher. Makes it more attractive to a girl like me with a weakness for pretty things.

Moving on to performance (i sound like my boss!!)... Rockateur is a shimmery rose gold blusher. As much as i like the color, i was a 'lil doubtful about the shimmer. But i stand corrected. It left a very subtle yet beautiful shimmer behind. Not too bright.

Now here's the trick i wanna share. If you wanna go less glittery and more matte, use the blush from the center only. But if you like the shade with shimmer, swirl your brush into the box in a normal fashion. The glitter is more towards the edges.

I honestly like them with shimmer because they give my cheeks a healthy glow. It comes with a Kabuki style brush. Cost US$28

Moving on to the Lipcolor. Can i say i love the packaging again. The boxing is a keeper. As the name indicates these are Benefit's Lip color/ lip balm mash up. The product is enriched with mango butter,
shea and Vitamin E. It glides on effortlessly and keeps my lip hydrated. I usually use a lip balm underneath my lipstick for hydration but with this product i can totally skip that step. 

What i really like is the fact it is available in 10 shades with an option of sheer, medium and full
coverage!!! How clever. I own the 'Wing Women'. A beautiful taupe color.

Do you own any one of these?? Are your a Benefit fan...what's your favorite product?? Let me know...helps me when I go shopping next time. Don't forget to click on the 'Notify Me' checkbox to receive my response ;)

GlamBox feat. Benefit

Hello Angels

To a beauty blogger the happiest moment would be to attend a post full of beauty goodies! Today was one such day!

Today i received my August GlamBox. GlamBox is restricted to Middle East. However, follows the similar concept of GlossyBox, BirchBox etc. So to all my non GCC followers am sorry but everybody loves a good beauty post, right?

August box was a special edition in collaboration with Benefit Beauty Brand. One of my most loved and favorite brand. 

Contents

The Porefessional (3ml) 

Reduces appearance and intensity of pores and fine lines. I have personally not used this product. However, i will surely give it a try. But i doubt a repurchase, simply because i do not have visible pore problem

Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow (5ml)

One of Benefit's oil free foundation. Comes in 9 shades. Very excited to give it a try. Fingers crossed!

They're Real (3g)

 oooo the much raved and hyped about Mascara. I always always wanted to purchase one. Thank you GlamBox, you made things easier for me

Right Total Moisture (8.9g)

Smells heavenly. I can state that for a fact. 

Chachatint (2.5ml)

Mango tinted stain that can be used both on Lips and Cheeks. I really liked the color.  But i need to put it on real trial soon.

The Box also included a free brow tint from the Benefit Brow station when a Brow wax is purchased.

All in all i am super excited to use all the products in the box. Let me know if you guys need a review on all or any one of the product. Am at your service!

Now letz do the math! (Being an accountant by profession, i can't help it!!) Is the Box worth the price? For those who are thinking of subscribing this may help

The cost of one box is $20. The product received is worth $57!! Yes, i have considered the sample size to arrive at the above. The Box is definitely giving you products worth more than the price you pay for it. yay!!!! 

I am glad the box contains products i would love to buy or give a try. I get a bit annoyed when beauty boxes contains anti ageing and other related products which is of absolute no use to girls of our age. 

Are you a Glambox subscriber? Do you own any of the products mentioned above? What in you opinion is the best product among all?

Benefit Watt's Up! | Review

Hello Angels

Last week i hit pan on my Mac Cream Base in Pearl. This 'lil pot as been my absolute favorite highlighter for months. However, i decided to try a new product instead of a repurchase. Benefit's Watt's Up was always on my wish list and I realized this was my chance to bag one :)

Packaging

I absolutely adore the packaging of all Benefit products. They are funky and unique. And this one was no exception. Beautiful box and the product itself came in a roll up tube. 

Texture & Glow

It as a buttery consistency, which in turn allows you to apply and buff in the product easily. The shade strikes a perfect balance between a gold and a silver shimmer. Which I absolutely love. It lasts long and does not fade on you. Yay! 

Application

I would categorize Watt's Up as quite an intense highlighter. But one can always control the amount to be applied and thereby reduce a heavy glow if preferred. I apply it in a V shape, starting from my brow bone and towards the cheek bone. I prefer using a brush for application because it gives me full control. 

The only drawback (something that can be easily worked upon and resolved though) is the tube in itself is slightly big for direct application. Hence the reason why I use a brush. I really wish it came in a smaller tube. Or is it already available??

I am really really loving this product. It gives you that fantastic glow in real and in pictures. Watt's Up costs $39 (9.4g). Pricey. But i think it will last me long enough.
Tell me if you are a Watt's Up fan. What are your other Benefit favorite?? 

Happy weekend lovelies!
