5 Must have Benefit Cosmetics Product

I love cosmetics! Which girl doesn't? I remember falling in love with Benefits even before it arrived on the shores of Singapore. I walked pass it in Macy's on Times Square, loved the quirky names, went back to the hotel, researched the products, went back the next day and bought way too much stuff! After 9years of trying almost everything, these are my top 5 favorite and must have Benefits products. 

From L-R: They're Real Mascara, They're Real Push Up Liner, Miniature Posie Tint, Miniature Watt's Up and "That Gal" Brightening Face Primer

That Gal Brightening Face Primer ($48)

I really love this product because it give the skin such a natural glow without it being overly shimmery. I've made the mistake of over applying because I "couldn't see" anything and looked like a beacon in photos! Less is definitely more with this product. Use it as a highlighter, illuminating base or even apply on chest and shoulders for that healthy, sexy glow. 

They're Real Mascara (SGD$37)

I was actually given my first Get Real mascara in my Bellabox in 2014 and am now absolutely in love with it. I love the bulbous end of the mascara wand that allows me to get onto even the tiniest eye lash. It allows me to apply mascara on my lower lashes without making myself look like a raccoon. So now, I carry one in my travel kit, a mini in my handbag and a full sized one at home. I just can't get enough! 

They're Real Eye Liner (SGD$38)

One of their newer products, introduced to the market late 2014, this is my new obsession. I have fairly larger eyes and I love giving myself the cat eye look. But I have always hated that sometimes I start to draw and draw and draw....and end up with the smoky eyed goth look. The rubbery pointed tip of the pencil allows me to be more in control of my cat eye and gives me perfect tips all the time. I do have some friends who don't really like the rubbery tip but for me, it's the ultimate. Its the perfect tool for those not skilled enough to use liquid liners and looking for a pencil type liner that doesn't require a brush. I can't get enough of this product. Only problem I have is that, in my lazy days, water just won't do to wash it off. 

Benetint (SGD$51)

I'll be honest, I didn't really like the original Benetint. It was too pink-reddish for me and just didn't look good on my skin. But when they came out with Posietint, I purchased one and the first time I used it, I bumped into my neighbour and she asked me what I did to my skin because I was glowing. I think I actually had the decency to be embarassed because my glow wasn't from within, it was from a bottle! Compliments on day 1??? SOLD!!! Benefits have now come up with Lollitint (purplish toned) and Chachatint (orangey toned) however I will just stick to what works for me. Definitely worth making a trip to Sephora or a Benefits counter and testing out what works best for you. 

**Tip: Once you have swiped the brush on your cheek, rub in immediately! These tints absorb fast and I've gone out and people thought I got bitten by a bug or something!

Watts Up (SGD$48)

A little goes a long way...another highlighter but this one looks "Oh so amazing!" on my tanned sort of skin. I love swiping just a little bit on my upper cheek bones and a dab under my brow. It's lovely for when I'm on a night out and I know there is going to be a lot of cam-whoring. I've been using my miniature and have yet to see the bottom of the tube.

So that about sums up, all my must have Benefit Cosmetics products. I could honestly do a makeup look au naturale with all of the above products and some foundation (to hide my dark circles and breakouts) and eyebrow drawn in. 

All products listed can be purchased at any Sephora outlet, Benefits counter at TANGS Orchard and Westgate Benefits Boutique.
