January favourites 2014

Heya!!!

So i have been on a blogging slump lately so to start a new year i though it will be great fo start the new year with my January fav and get into the habit of sharing with you guys stuff i've been loving for the month.

Beauty

Left : Australis mint condition lip gloss (red) Right : Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain (adore)

I have been into red lippy not only in the month of January but for the last few months as they are amazing way or looking like you put effort in your look without the "effort".

I like the Revlon balm stain which is an orange tone red is great when i go out and want a more longer lasting lip stick since its also a stain. Even so if it fade its easy to touch up.

The lip gloss from australis as an amazing tinted lip balm! The pigmentation is this really nice rose red that I love to wear in the morning before class to give my face a bit of colour.

Soap and Glory Hand Food

This i kinda forgot that i owned this... Yup... Anyway i really like this hand cream as its not too thick that you have a weird cast on your hand. In fact I use this not only on my hands but also on my arm and legs... Lazy to reach for the body lotion and it works just as well.

Colette by Colette Hayman poolside crush body mist.

This smells like summer in a bottle. Its fresh, clean and refreshing with hints of fruitiness but not overly fruity.
I especially love this its a good travel size bottle to bring with me to uni so that i can freshen myself in between classes on super hot days.

Accesories 

Typo cooler water bottle in Buttercup

Firstly lets appreciate how cute this bottle look!
Like how people get workout gear so that they will exercise more I got this bottle in hopes I'll drink more water which i have been as this bottle carry a good amount of water to last me trough the long unidays.

I also love the color! Tiffany blue my fav :)))

Sportsgirl bag

I've been using this bag alot lately for going out and for class. Its a good size to carry all of my THINGS but not too big that it look like i am lunging a luggage.
I also love the straps. They are two straps so i can have off the shoulders or on the shoulders.

TARDIS phone case!!!

This scream the inner fangirl/whoviean

Need i say more ??? xD 

I have been in need of a new phone case and saw this on ebay for $1.60 so i immediately click purchase. I love how cool this phone case looks. Its simple yet its unique. 

Also its a good conversation starter when people see your phone! haha

Food 

 Yogurt with home made Granola and blueberries

My go to breakfast!
I have been addicted to eating them!
The yogurt i prefer is the Tamar Valley Non- Fat yogurt.
The Granola recipe i use All That Glitter Maple almond recipe but i put my own twist to it.

Favorite Book

Left: Cinder Right: Scarlet
This month has been a slow reading month for me as i only read 2 books that is cinder and scarlet.
They are the first two books in the Lunar Chronicles which are fairytale retelling set in the future but with a twist.

I enjoy both books! In fact i am slapping myself for not reading them sooner!
The story is amazing and although they are based off fairytale i feel like Marrisa Myers took the story and made it her own.

Highly recommend if you are a fan of YA fantasy, dystopian or even fairytale retelling.

Also if you like the tv show once upon a time you'll definitely like this!

Also a reason i was marathon this two books was cause the third book in this series Cress is coming out in Feb! So I now have given you a better reason to reading this series! lol

Get Cinder, Scarlet and Cress from the book depository here!! (free international shipping!)
 
Song of the month


Counting Stars by One Republic

Have this on repeat its catchy and great to listen to. I actually love the whole Native album but if ask for just one song I'll choose this.

Check out my youtube channel on me talking about the products mention!

So that's my monthly favs I hope you all enjoy and look out new content and blogpost coming soon!

CHRISTMAS Lush haul!!!

HEYA!!!!!

Haul time!!! :D 

So i have a good old lush haul!!!! 

I love lush and this is what happen when i go into the store for just one thing .. ONE THING ... i come out WITH MORE :P 

haha story of my life! 

But I can justify this impulse buy as the Christmas collection are here so ... nuf said :D

Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo 100g

"Condition, body and shine for wavy, fluffy and frizzy hair. Cynthia Sylvia Stout is made with stout beer, which your great-grandmother probably used to make her hair shiny. Stout contains protein to give your hair weight, smoothness and gloss. It’s excellent for hair that goes frizzy in the damp. Cynthia smells delicious, just like a brandy, stout and lemon cocktail and even makes curly hair shiny."

This was my main purpose of going into lush ... to re-purchase this little bottle of hair miracle.. and yes i said it!

This "beer" shampoo is a really great cleansing shampoo. It's great if you like me have slightly greasy hair and need that little help in the oil control department. For me i really like how squeaky clean my hair is when i am done with my shower. It is quiet clarifying so i recommend once a week to cleanse product build up.

It cost's $12.95 which is really pricy especially cause this is the smallest bottle but a little goes a long was as this little bottle last me for 4 months!   

Rose Jam Shower Gel 250g

"Inspired by our love for roses and the benefits of nourishing argan oil, this shower gel is a decadent as it gets!  Skin brightening goji berry juice and Sicilian lemon give your skin a boost, while rose oil and rose absolute leave it soothed, softened and beautifully fragranced.  A luxurious way to start each day. "

I've been hearing alot of hype over this shower gel in the beauty world and decided to pick up the middle size bottle so that when my family comes to visit i can treat to trying some lush products (we don't have lush back home in Malaysia) 

Like the name, the consistency is like strawberry jam and it smell like a rose infused jam. The rose scent remind me of rose sirup from my high school days when i will occasionally treat myself to a glass of rose sirup water from the canteen during a hot humid day.

American Cream Conditioner 100g

"Double-strength conditioning cocktail. American Cream was inspired by a vision of 1950s US milk bars, bright red-leather-and-chrome, neon-lit cafes, where teenagers would meet and drink frothy, fruity milkshakes. Our creamy conditioner is what the girls would have used to make their hair soft before going out on a date, dressed up in their bobby socks and circular skirts. The scent of honey, vanilla, strawberries and oranges is so sexy and sweet that dates can’t stay away."

 

I always ask for samples whenever I go to lush so I decided to give it a go and try this conditional (why not its free :P). its not too bad but I think I'll try it a couple more times before seeing if I'll commit to buying a full size.

 

Sandy Santa Scrub

"Keep your skin looking and feeling amazing with this limited edition sugar scrub.  This year it’s even more beneficial for the skin, with added coconut oil and butters, such as murumuru and organic shea butter, to intensely moisturise.  Sugar and sand add the gentle polishing effect.  Fragranced with toning Brazilian orange oil as a nod to his exotic inspiration – the sand sculptures on Copacabana beach!"

Oh gosh just the name shout Christmas to me!!

I love this body butter/scrub! in fact as for typing out this blog now I have used up this sandy Santa! Its so nice and moisturizing and the scrub smoothen my skin!

I recommend chopping up (sorry santa :P) and using bit by bit of this the scrub on damp skin and scrub onto spots you want to moisturize and scrub.

It cost about $6.95 and it is not too messy to use in the bathroom as the sugar mixture dissolve into the dampen skin or into the water.



So that's my Christmas lush haul!!!

Hope you guys enjoy and if you want to see me haul it on my channel the vid is down below.

Check out the other awesome lush Christmas goodies here on the Lush Site.

Whatcha think of the lush goodies that I got???

Share with me your lush haul / thoughts on the lush goodies :)


Till next time

October "Classy" Her Fashion Box unboxing (Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle subscription box)

Heya!!

So i have an un boxing from Her Fashion Box having that i just started subscribing to them after hearing all the great stuff about them from Australian Youtube and the Beauty Blogger world.

I thought it will be a great way to step out of my comfort zone and just have fun trying out new things by ordering a subscription box.

So basically HerFashion Box is an Australian monthly subscription box service where for $39.90 you can get a box with about 3 Fashion items and 4 beauty/lifestyle items which will usually be at a value of over $110!!!

You can choose from three types of boxes which style suits your style/taste/personality which is Classy, Trendy and Feminine.

 The box i choose was the "Classy" box and the theme of the month is "Down To Earth"

So when you first get the box in the mail it comes packed nice wraped with a pink box.

Ta-Daaaa the un opening box number 1

So the nice sleek black box that holds all the products in it. Its magnetic and quiet strong and good quality so you can definitely keep the box to keep the stuff you wanna keep in it.

Firstly it comes with some coupons and a magazine which holds all the infomation you'll need of the products in the box.

The fashion 

"Great Southern Land" necklace

So it has a really nice kinda tribal necklace that will make a really nice statement piece.
I usually am not a jewelry person so this will be fun to accessorize with

Left: "Trial Blazer" ring and Right "The Eternity" ring

It also comes with a nice turquoise statement ring and a mini infinity ring.

I always wanted to get one of this large statement ring so i was definitely happy to see that in my box!

The Beauty

From left to right: Revitanail Nail Polish in "marshmallow", Ulta 3 Lipstick in "Red Sahara", Lonvcitalite Collagen Crystal Eye Mask

Nail polish

Revitanail Nail Polish in "marshmallow"

I've seen this brand at priceline before but never really tried it.

Its a nice nude pink color and the name "marshmellow" is really cute.

Lip stick

Ulta 3 Lipstick in "Red Sahara"

Ulta3 is a really popular inexpensive brand  here in Australia. 

I own ulta 3 nail polish but never seen the make up in stores at where i live.

I've seen a few aussie youtubers showned the ulta 3 lipstick so it will br great to try this out.

The packaging is nice and sleek and reminds me of the covergirl lipsticks

The color is a nice deep red color... kinda look like a darker version of covergirl's "hot passion". Cant wait to play around with it.

Eye mask

Lonvcitalite Collagen Crystal Eye Mask

Once again not really familiar with this brand nor have i seen this in stores.

Its an eye mask to hydrate, reduce under eyes dark circles and firm the under eyes.

Can't wait to try this as i have been looking at trying under eye masks for a while now.

The lifestyle

Skin Bright oh my! evening tea

This was what i probably was super excited for! I love love LOVE tea and drink tons of it!

This is a loose-leaf tea and from the description its meant to be like a soothing tea for night time before you sleep.

Not so sure how that's going to work but i am super excited to try!

*update* was watching the other video and read the little magazine that it came with i was suppose to get a tea strainer but for an odd reason i didnt get it... ah well i have a nice teapot waiting for me :D


Check out my youtube channle/ video if you want to see my reaction to the first time unboxing this box!

The unboxing that i did was my reaction when I literally first open the box so forgive me it I do look clueless but like i say i didn't want to look into the magazine as i wanted it to be a surprise!

Overall

This is the first time I subscribed to a subscription box and i am super please with the products that i got!

The concept of Her Fashion Box is really unique as you not only get beauty samples (which are usually deluxe or full size) but also fashion and lifestyle items as well.

I was super excited when i went to collect my parcel and when i was filming my unboxing for my youtube channel i had my friend Azelia in the room with me to check out the content of the box with me.

 
I will definitely continue subscribing  to Her Fashion Box whenever i am in the country (i go back to Malaysia every few months) as i really enjoy the products that are the box.

It definitely is a great way to step out of your comfort zone and try new things

Apart from the jewelry i am definitely gonna  enjoy the nail polish and lipstick and tea!

If you are interested in signing up for Her Fashion Box you can sigh up here.

Don't forget you can also get 50% off your first box (That's $19.95!!!) by using codeword:  

HFBLOVE

Also i got my first order with using a coupon code for 50% off using some random coupon code I found online.

Check out HerFashionBox site

What did you think of this box and its content???

Till next time!!

Review: Essence Me & My Ice Cream Trend Edition

Heya!!

Make Up + Ice Cream = Happy Me !!!  xD

So yay Essence released a new limited edition collection that i am a bit late on the band wagon but thank goodness i manage to snatch the last of the lot of this collection (that was not touch, open, tested .. yah that's the only down side of Essence products.. itchy hands!! >.<") and although i didn't get all that i wanted (i really wanted that cream blush!!!) I am still quiet happy with the stuff that i picked up!

Shimmer Pearls ~01 I-CY U $5.75

Description :

"shimmering scoops of ice cream… the softly shimmering pearls with a light color dispersion are perfectly aligned with the pastel shades of this trend edition. they give your face and neckline a subtle glow and can even cover-up fine imperfections as well as slight redness thanks to the different nuances. available in 

01 i-cy u."

Thoughts

 This shimmering pearl was what i was looking forward to the most! 

Was really lucky that i got one of the last ones at my priceline!

This is an illuminating powder that has purple, yellow,green and peach pastel shimmer pearls that is to look like ice cram dipping dots (had to google search the name but i remember seeing the ice cream in a macbarbie07 video a long time ago).

Its really shimmery and can be used all over the face or as a highlighter. 

Basically this is to be a drugstore dupe of Guerlain's Meteorites which I've seen but never owned.

I think i got this mainly because of the cute packaging... yah i am a sucker for cute packaging :P

Not so sure if I'll get alot of use out of this as I am not that big of a fan of highlighter illuminating powder (and i advice if you have oily skin stay away from this)  but if you are a make up junky (like me ;p) this is something that is worth to have in your collection as something cute to display and own.

 Lip Balm ~ $3.50

 From left to right  03 Ben & Cherries, 02 icylicious and 01 ice, ice baby

Description :

"let’s twist! these unique lip balms are available in three different color combinations: lavender-vanilla, apricot-beige and pink-mint. the colors blend perfectly upon application and look really cute, too! they pamper your lips with shea butter and jojoba oil as well as leaving behind a delicious fragrance. available in 01 ice, ice baby, 02 icylicious and 03 ben & cherries."

The lip balms were a bit of a hit and a miss for me. I was hopping they will have a hint of color like the Kiss Care Love Lip Balm that Essence has however this gives no color on the lips so this is just a regular lip balm not a tinted lip balm.

The formula compare to to the kiss care love lip balm is alot creamier and smoother.

I like that the packaging is better than the Kiss Care Love lip balms as those were really hard to twist up! In fact mine broke so i cant really use the lip balm anymore.

Each of the lip balm has a "candy cane" swirl with a slight sweet flavor.

If you always want the Maybelline baby lips from USA/CANADA, this is a "close" dupe to it.

Its not very moisturizing ... just an ok lip balm.

 From left to right  03 Ben & Cherries, 02 icylicious and 01 ice, ice baby

01 ice, ice baby

The swirl of the packaging is purple and yellow. The color reminds me of ice cream "potong" which is ice cream blocks that i can usually get back in Malaysian Yam and Corn flavor ( yes I know ... very weird flavor but its a delicacy back home). 

The Scent has this very artificial grape smell. I actually love the scent! It brings back memory of one of my favorite Mat Kool ice cream that was this grape ice pop back home that I'll get after school!

hehe random but ever heard of the song "ice ice baby" by vanilla ice?? that's what i thought of when i first heard of this!  (and then i thought of glee S1 when they perform this in the library in the episode "bad reputation" .... and the glee project where they performed this and got slushied :P )

02 icylicious

The swirls is this creamy white and peach color. The scent is very creamy vanilla. I kinda think of a milk shake when i see this.

03 Ben & Cherries

Firstly does anyone think of Ben & Jerry ice cream when they saw the name??? I thought of it :P 

Anyway the swirls are pink and green. The scent ... for a very odd reason was very floral like... yah that's what i smell of :P

Overview

I didnt get much from this collection as i was a little late or i already have something very similar in my collection. The shimmer pearls were really unique and something I can see in my collection hence why i got it. As for the lip balms ... well i go trough them really fast so why not.

The packaging and theme is a really fun spring ideal! It kinda reminds me of something I can see in Etute house.

Other than that if you love essence and ice cream (me love ice cream!!!) you should check out this collection (and run to your nearest priceline while its still there!)

Did you get anything from the collection? if so what did you get??? 

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?? ( mines green tea and chocolate!!!)

Till next time

Review :Benefit Skincare: b.right! Radiant Skincare by Benefit 6 piece intro kit

Heya!!!

So if you don't already know Benefit Cosmetic is one of my favourite high end brands and i have even featured a few of their products in hauls and review on both this blog and Youtube vlog.

The other day i was watching my friend Yara from cindyarrra on YouTube and she hauled this cute little skincare kit from Benefit call the b.right! Radiant Skincare by Benefit 6 piece intro kit and when i came back from Malaysia i went to Benefit and got myself one!

b.right! Radiant Skincare by Benefit 6 piece intro kit

 

 

It comes in this box and had a clear zip lock bag around it (which will come in handy for when i travel!) and all the products are cute travel size which is really great for alot of uses (i have been using most of the items in the kit for about 4 weeks and i still have a good lot to last me a while)

 

Cleanser

 

 

 

So first off are the facial cleanser. There two types included in this kit.

foamingly clean facial wash

 

Description from the site:

There's clean & there's really clean. This 1-step facial wash effectively cleanses the skin & removes makeup & impurities with a soft, gentle lather. Formulated for all skin types. 

This is a product where a little goes a LONG WAY! 

HOW I USE IT

 I place a bit of this onto my palm and with 3 fingers (a tip that i was thought in secondary school from Clean & Clear when they visited my school to teach us just hitting puberty teenagers how to use a daily cleanser and i swear by it!) and i rub it back and forth till it reaches a nice rich latter ( and this works with all cleanser that i use) and rub the cleanser onto my face and neck (dampen of cause!) and rinse! 

Thoughts

This is a great daily facial wash! It smells really lovely, fresh, clean, sweet and really pleasant (heck all their stuff in this skincare line is lovely smelling ). Its also the consistency of the product is thick so like i say a little goes A LONG WAY! 

 It latter really well (which is what i look for in a GOOD foaming cleanser) and feels nice and light when apply on my face.

It definitely soften my skin and its gentle so i can use it daily. Also the scent makes it feel refreshing!

HOWEVER...

MY ONLY COMPLAIN IS THE PACKAGING!!! 

AS CUTE AS IT IS (and yed its freaking cute and looks so good on my vanity ... if i had one to display on...) THE CONTAINER IS REALLY HARD TO WORK WITH! 

When i first used it i had to shake it really hard and squeeze the bottle (i think i heard a my knuckles and fingers cracking .. ah well ...lolz) before i got a good amount of product out!

Other than that its great daily facial cleanser! will definitely consider getting a full size in future... if they change the packaging ... (*hint hint to if anyone who works with the Benefit packaging sector ever view this blog :P) 

I meant to be honest as lovely the packaging is, i will take practicality and convenience over lovely packaging cause if the product is AMAZING but the packaging is HORRIBLE it will definitely bring the product standards down... 

Rating: 4/5 (will give it a perfect 5 when packaging change :P) 

 

refined finish facial polish

 

Description from the site:

Dull skin from daily stress? Refined finish facial polish beautifully brightens the complexion, gently exfoliating to purify the skin & help minimize the appearance of pores to reveal skin's natural radiance. Contains natural clay & seaweed extract rich in minerals, nutrients & sugars, known to purify the skin.

 

This facial polish has micro beads in it and its to exfoliate and "polish" the skin.  

HOW I USE IT

After Cleanser i apply this onto the face and neck avoiding the eye area (i accidentally got a bit into my eye the first time and it STINGS! >.<* ! yup learn from my mistakes guys :P) and wash thoroughly!

I do use a face brush (a non electric version of a Clearasonic) to daily exfoliate so I'll use this once or twice a week.

 

Thoughts

 My reaction when i first use this was wow... i felt like its sand mixed into the cleanser that i am rubbing on my face... i am not enjoying this...

The consistence of the product is thick and creamy and when scrub on the face you can feel the micro beads when scrubbing your face. The exfoliate was not harsh and but it was not gentle... somewhere in the middle as i had facial exfoliate that are slightly more gentler than this.

However after i wash it off  skin felt so smooth after using this! I was like WOW IT FEEL SO NICE AND SOFT!

It felt softer than after I used the cleanser!

Once again.... the only complain is the packaging!!!! This was not as hard as the cleanser as the product came out easier but GOSH !!! its still a pain to squeeze the product out! 

The exfoliate is an ok product for me. I might get it in full size in future no promises there though.

Rating: 3.5/5

 

moisture prep toning lotion

 

Description from the site:

The special step for extra radiant skin. Moisture prep toning lotion smoothes & revitalizes allowing skin to fully optimize benefits of your moisturizer. Contains vitamin E acetate, natural oat & meadowsweet, botanical extracts known to purify & smooth the skin and help reduce fine lines. This specialized formula contains a blend of

HOW I USE IT

The moment i get out of my shower (after i cleanse my face and all)  i immediately apply toner on my face with a cotton pad starting with my T-zone area with gentle upwards swiping motion and then i move down to my jawline and rest of my face minus the eye area (don't worry! they will get some special love in a bit!) and what ever is left over I'll swipe it down my neck.

Thoughts 

Ok quick confession!!! so prior to this i have never used a toner so i had to search Google and Youtube to watch skincare routine on how to use a toner! haha well that's what Youtube is for which is apart from entertainment and getting addicted to the Ellen Show but also to learn :P yup i admit i needed a HOW TO USE TONER FOR DUMMIES 101 crash course ! lolz

So first off I may be a dummy with it comes to toner but I have my fair share of snooping around all the products my Mama uses to know how a toner is like and this is thicker and a bit "creamier" than what i expected to be. Well then again its call a toning lotion so i guess it should be creamier!

This is the first toner that i have ever used in my life and wow it just feel so nice, clean and hydrating for my currently really dry skin (my skin is currently really dry and it always is when the weather is transitioning from winter to spring... yah i have been living in Australia long enough to know that :P) and it feel nice an smooth when apply.

Also my moisturizer (both the Benefit one which i am about to talk about in a bit and my usual Hazeline snow  moisturizing cream) goes on really smoothly after using this!

The packaging has no complain this time and in fact i really like the cute little glass bottle! It's really classy! Definitely something  I'll display on my vanity table ... which i don't... ah well :P

This I am definitely gonna get a full size when i am done with this mini one!

Rating: 5/5 (woohoo for a perfect 5!)

it's potent! eye cream 

 

Description from the site:

Your eyes can't keep a secret...they're the first to show signs of age & stress. It's potent! eye cream fades dark circles & helps smooth fine lines for brighter, younger-looking eyes. Contains a peptide complex known to help restore elasticity & firmness, a blend of hydrating botanical extracts and loquat extract, known to help protect the skin from free radical damage.

 

HOW I USE IT

Time to give our eyes some love!!! (yay!!) 

I apply a tiny bit of the eye cream (a little goes a long way!!!) with my ring finger ( the eye area are the most delicate part of our face so using our ring finger which is the most gentle finger to apply the product on the under eye is important! ) by dabbing it on my under eyes gently before lightly patting it and gently messaging it into the under eyes.

Every night before moisturizer after toner or if i am in need of wearing concealer for my under eyes I'll use this under the concealer (which coincidentally my current favourite is also from Benefit and its the Boi-ing concealer in shade 02 from the passport to posh kit)

Thoughts

Firstly the consistency is really thick! This being said a tiny bit is really needed when apply to the under eyes. This sample may be small but its going to last me a good long while with the amount needed to use.

Prior to when i first apply the eye cream i sorta had dark under eyes due to lack of sleep ( uni life = assignments and studying ... yup no sleep :P) but it was not too bad that i look like a panda! I also had a lot of dry patches on my under eye and it was flaky (not cute! >.<*) due to the really dry winter weather!

 When apply i feel a bit of a tingle feeling which i have no problem to as my believe its working its magic!

After using this every night for 5 weeks it definitely hydrates, reduces dark circle and also brightens my under eyes as promised by Benefit!

 Highly highly recommend for a good eye cream! 

Will definitely get a full size of this... but that will be a while as i said ... a little goes a long way!

Rating:  5/5

total moisture facial cream

Description from the site:

"Say good-bye to dry skin and hello to "total moisture." This facial cream provides concentrated immediate & long-term hydration for a radiantly refreshed complexion. Our exclusive tri-radiance complex helps develop the skin's reserves of water & reinforce skin's moisture barrier. Contains mango butter, a natural plant-based emollient known to provide moisture. For normal to dry skin.In consumer testing, 100% of people tested felt that their skin was immediately and intensely quenched."

HOW I USE IT

Its a face cream... very self explanatory ... anyway I apply this on my face and neck both day and night.

I prefer this for night time.

Once again a little goes a long way ;)

Thoughts 

The consistency of the product is really thick, rich and creamy and if you have dry skin (i have combination oily to dry) this will work really well to moisturize and hydrate the skin.

During winter months,my skin gets dry and flaky patches around my under eye and my chin area so this hydrates my skin really well!

Also my skin just feels softer and smoother after using it.

Once again it has this really nice "fresh cucumber" scent that is just present and refreshing to use during my "pampering time" aka my skincare routine.

Really enjoy it this product! Planning to repurchase this but its like $40!! will have to save up for it...

Will repurchase in future but till then i have this cute sample size jar to continue using :D

Rating:  5/5

 
 

triple performing facial emulsion

 

Description from the site:

"You may not know you’re dehydrated, but your skin does. Triple performing facial sunscreen lotion broad spectrum SPF 15 hydrates, protects and comforts the skin with an oil-free, lightweight formula. Contains exclusive ultra-moisturizing ingredients to help capture & maintain water on the skin’s surface."

HOW I USE IT

Once again this is a facial moisturizer but with SPF in it.... very self explanatory... but if you insist :P

Apply on face, neck and ears (its the most neglected part of our skincare routine but they need love too! also your ears are the part that gets the most exposure to the sun)

Will recommend applying this for the day time since it has SPF as i can use the Total Moisture Facial Cream for the nights.   

Thoughts 

Its not as hydrating as the Total Moisture Facial Cream but it does have SPF so I'll make use of this in the day time.  

Its runnier than the the Total Moisture Facial Cream but it feels light weight on the skin.

Once again like all the products in this line has this nice refreshing "fresh cucumber" scent.

Not too bad. I'll continue to use this but might not repurchase as i prefer the Total Moisture Facial Cream.

Rating:  3.5/5

OVERVIEW

I really like the ideal of this set! You get a good deluxe travel size of products to try multiple times, probably about 3 weeks ++ worth of uses which is a good amount of time to see how your skin react to the products and if you like the consistency, smell, how your skin feels after its used.

This set practically covers 70% of the whole Benefit Skincare range and its a great way yourself its skincare range or just the brand in general !

I am also really impress with the packaging for most of the products! Its really cute and vintage looking.

What i was most impress was that the price that i paid for at Myers was almost the same as the US RRP!

I definitely recommend if you are a fan of Benefit and want to try their skincare range but are unsure of just get this kit before committing to the full size product.

Other than that, this kit is very "Beneficial" to who are starting out with skincare or wants to expand their skincare product range like for me, prior to owning this skincare kit i use or never own a eye cream or a toner. 

Where to get it:

- Benefit Counters or any ware that  sells Benefit cosmetic and its skincare line.

- In Australia its available at Myers with a Benefit counter at $25

- Benefit Official Website ~ b.right! Radiant Skincare by Benefit 6 piece intro kit at $24  

 

Other than that let me know in the comments if any of you guys have tried Benefit's b.bright skincare line and what do you think of it?

Till Next Time
