Drooling Over Benefit!

What better way start the day than to drool over some makeup products from Benefit Cosmetics.

I'm a Benefit newbie! There I said it.

I know, I know, shockeroo I don't own any of these well-known products from Benefit. Honestly speaking, I actually stayed away from the brand for quite sometime now because I had a bad experience with it. Four years ago(wow that sounded like a centuries ago) when I wasn't into makeup yet, my mom brought me to The Bay here in Canada to shop for some basic makeup products(I don't know why I didn't head off to MAC or NARS instead). The sales lady at the Benefit counter suggested a traveling brush set to me because brushes are important when you are starting of with make-up right? I didn't know what brushes or products to choose from the brand because I wasn't familiar with ANY brands yet at that time. So to cut the long story short, my mom ended up purchasing the brush set for me($52) it was TERRIBLE- there were 4 brushes inside( eyeshadow, liner, concealer, and a brow brush). The bristles are horrible that it felt harsh on my skin, so from then on I stayed away from Benefit.

About a year ago when I started this blog, I saw some great reviews and raves about Benefit blushes, specifically Coralista and Sugarbomb. I don't know why, but until now when I go to Sephora I just skip Benefit and go straight to NARS/YSL/Makeup Forever etc.

I need to try some Benefit products and learn more about the brand. So this is the purpose of this post. I need your help my fellow beauty/make-up junkies, I need your recommendations and suggestions on what products are worth my moola. Please!! *big kiddie smile*

I really want one blush, two velvet eyeshdaows to start off, 2 creaseless creams, and Posey Tint OR High Beam. Of course, I wont buy them all at once. I wish I'm THAT RICH to buy everything at once. I know their products are NOT cheap at all, so I have to think really carefully on what is wprth it and what is not.

here are some Benefit products:

There newest blush- Bella Bamba

There most popular product- Coralista

Sugarbomb Blush- I'm really debating over what to get this blush or Coralista, but now that I heard good reviews for Bella Bamba I guess theres three to choose from now.

Posey Tint- I love versatile products like this

High Beam highligher- I saw makeup tutorials where they use High beam to show off those pretty cheek bones.

and finally, there eyeshadows.

I want neutral shades for now. :)

Creaseless cream shadows

and their Velvet shadows.

That's the end of my late night Benefit drooling. So, please help a poor friend out :)

Remember ladies, eventhough Valentines day is over, a man should always respect and love you no matter what day it is. A girl should be treated like queens every single day. I'm not saying that a man should spoil us, but... you guys get my point. n the other hand, ladies cherish your man and love him for who he is and make sure both of you are happy with each other. And for the single ladies, don't worry about that at all. Don't get pressured because I bet there's someone out there who is waiting for you to come into their life. Mybe not today, not tomorrow, or the nex day, but he will come and he will bring joy and make sure he will make you smile. So, for the last time HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to you all.

Thanks you for your support <3

Hope you have a happy Tuesday :)

Perfumes I Want To Try

To all my American readers/followers..how's your Thanksgiving dinner? I hope it all went well. Time to go for some serious shopping. Good luck with that and hope you guys have fun.

so,back with what this post is all about...

I have a slight obsession with perfumes, but the thing is.. I want to have a signature smell. I'm currently using Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy and I love it, but it's about to be dunzo, so I'm on a hunt for a new perfume.

Sometimes when I go shopping, I just go to the fragrance department and stay there for an hour and smell perfumes(same thing when I'm in Sephora).

I love sweet/fruity scents, but I don't really mind if it has a tinge of floral smell to it. Oh and I love perfumes that smells like you just got out of the shower(that's why I love Fresh perfumes so much!). I'm a sucker for nice packaging too.

Here are some perfumes I tried before:

- Michael Kors' Daisy(sample size)- To floral for me, wasn't in to it that much

- Chanel Madamoiselle(full size)- I love this! It is a classic perfume and can't go wrong with this.

- Escada Moon Sparkle(sample size)- Has a fruity/floral fragrance with a hint of strawberry and apple. Smells good, but you just need the tiniest amount.

- Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue(full size)- classic perfume. I think most of you tried this already. Reminds me of High School days.

- Vera Wang Princess(sample size)- smells light and young and has a musky tinge to it. I didn't really like this.

* I would recommend Chanel Madamoiselle and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue.

so, those are the perfumes I tried and I'm ready to search for the best one in the market and make it my signature smell.

help me if you tried one of these perfumes before. If you have some recommendations, please, feel free to comment below. :)

Viktor and Rolf Eau Mega Perfume

Jo Malone in Nectarine Blossom and Honey

Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb

Britney Spears' Radiance

Tom Ford Black Orchid

Feel free to add your favorite perfume and recommend them to me.

Thanks so much for your help and have a lovely weekend!
