My Gorgeous Pink Cheeks: Benefit

Shop and Ship From US to PH with myMallBox + My US Beauty HAUL (Nordstrom, Sephora, Mac & Sigma)

Been itching to purchase that newly released highlighter or eye shadow palette from

Sephora.com or similar US shopping sites but holding back because of the hefty shipping fees, or worse, these sites just don't ship to your country? I feel you. I've been there and it was such a bummer.

Tell you what, gone were the days when we just sit and lust over these brands that only ship to a US address. No need to wait for a relative from the US to come home so that we can make "pabili" because we can now get to enjoy shopping our hearts out and having our purchases delivered straight to our doors. All these thanks to the rise of freight forwarding companies that ship goods from the United States to various countries (including the Philippines).

After much deliberation (and reading Hollie's blog post), I decided to give myMallBox a go. Yesterday, my package came so I decided to write a blog post about my experience with myMallBox.

Another Sephora Philippines Haul!

Ever since I discovered Shopback, I went a little bit nuts with online shopping. If you are not yet familiar with this program, Shopback is a nice way to earn back a portion of what you've spent through rebates which you can cash out to your paypal or bank account. It caters to a lot of online shops like Zalora, Lazada, Sephora.ph, Agoda, etc.

On that note, I placed my second Sephora.ph order and just like my first haul (posted here), everything went smoothly. I got my package 4 days after placing my order and all the items that I got were packed nicely.

A HUGE Collective Beauty HAUL!

Lets just say that I have been buying a ton of beauty products sporadically over the past few weeks, which is why I've accumulated a ton of fun stuff to show to all of you. Enter, my long overdue beauty haul post!

Benefit Cha Cha Tint

If you receive the beauty memo, you'd already know that the color of the year (2012) is tangerine tango. Orange is a color that has always been close to my heart, and now that the spotlight is on her, I (together with a gazillion other people) feel extremely captivated. I just love how this shade brings instant warmth to anything it touches. It's a stunning shade that works on a wide range of skin tones. And on that note, there is this mango-tinted lip and cheek color that has been my no-fail beauty booster. Yes, it's no other than Benefit Cha Cha tint!

Benefit Posietint Lip and Cheek Tint

I am a huge fanatic of the Benefit lip and cheek tints! I go gaga over Benetint and has nothing but supreme praises for Cha Cha tint. But on days when I feel I need a little bit of pink pop on my cheeks, yet still sticking with the au naturel vibe, I reach for their more girly counterpart; -Posietint.

My Mini Singapore Fashion & Beauty Haul

I went to Singapore recently and stayed there for almost a week. As much as I want to shop my heart out, I realized that with the hefty price tag of almost everything in Singapore, there is a huge probability that I will get broke in no time if I will stick with my shop-now-hop-later plan. So after careful evaluation and fear of getting hungry and cashless, I decided to just try to save a little and shop a day before I fly out of Singapore.

I prioritized shopping for pasalubongs for my mom and lola. Then I used every Singaporean dollar that was left on my purse to buy a few treats for myself. :)

Let's start with the only fashion item in this haul!

A crisp black and white blazer from Wanko. The label is a bit on the expensive side, but oh-boy their clothes are super worth every penny.

and now, let's do make up, scents and other beauty things!

Benefit Sugarbomb Blush

Without a doubt, Sugarbomb is my favorite blush from Benefit (and is one of my all-time favorite blushes too). I find it funny actually because I never really had high hopes for this blush to begin with. Yes I've read quite a lot of positive reviews about Sugarbomb, but for some odd reason, I never had the urge to purchase one for myself like ASAP. I can vividly remember how it even took me days before testing it out when my Benefit order came. Lets just say that I was so in love with Bella Bamba that I kinda underestimated the beauty of Sugarbomb. Big mistake! Because the moment I swiped it across my cheekbones, I became euphoric. It was so gorgeous that it instantly went up to "Holy Grail" status.

Benefit Bella Bamba Blush

I remember adding Benefit's Bella Bamba blush on my make up wishlist the minute I learned about it. If you have been reading my blog for quite awhile now, you probably know already that I have a "thing" for blushes. So when I saw the promotional pictures of Bella Bamba, read about a gazillion positive feedback about it and watched my favorite YouTube gurus talking nonstop about this blush, I was completely sold. But since Benefit Cosmetics was not yet available here in the Philippines at that time, I had to play the excruciating waiting game. But it was okay because Bella Bamba was so worth the wait!

Benefit Cosmetics Philippines Is Finally Open!

Earlier today, beauty editors, bloggers and cosmetics lovers from all over the Metro gathered to witness the official launch of Benefit Cosmetics in the country. Oh yes my lovelies, Benefit Cosmetics already reached our shores (finally!).

Benefit Cosmetics definitely lived up to their claim about the launch being the most glamorous time of the year! Guests were served with overflowing cupcakes, ginger breads and other oh-so-goodness treats. Live dance performances were also featured to celebrate the brand's launch. It was festive, fun and entertaining!

Thanks also to these lovely dolls who made the event even more gaiety and chika-full! Nothing beats great company!

And then, like vampires craving for blood, the crowd went gaga over the fabulous items of Benefit! People were all busy swatching and testing every single Benefit product that they were fancying about. I was seated right next to the cashier and witnessed how their products were selling like hotcakes (which is not a shocker anymore!).

So kiss pre-orders, unbearable waiting time and fear of getting fake ones (beware: there are a lot of them!) good bye, pick that overdue checklist of Benefit-items-to-buy now and visit their store at Greenbelt 5 asap!

Again, congratulations to the whole Benefit Cosmetics Philippines team for a successful launch. Thanks for having me and for my gorgeous new Benefit babies!

A Sneak Peek at Benefit Cosmetics Philippines + Price List

Despite the distance and my not-so-feeling-well self, I still decided to conquer EDSA and be at the B Spot (Benefit office) yesterday for a sneak peek of the most loved products of Benefit Cosmetics.
