Benefit Go TropiCoral Set


I was at Sephora the other day and I was choosing between the benefit box sets. I ended up with this one. I wanted to try the blushes from benefit. I think this was the perfect color for me. I've heard a lot of raves from youtubers and bloggers about the coralista blush from benefit so I bought this one.


Okay, so this box contains 4 products from benefit. It costs RM 110. Roughly around PHP 1,500 when converted to Peso. Going back, it contains the cha cha tint ( an orange liquid cheek and lip tint), high beam ( liquid highlighter ) , Coralista blush ( Coral  tone blush ) and the Coralista lip gloss. All of them are smaller than their actual size. 


It also has a travel size brush for the coralista blush. 


The inside of the box also contains tips and tricks on how to use the products inside. 


It also comes with a good size mirror. 

I tried using the products awhile ago. I like the cha cha tint for the cheeks but not for the lips. The high beam was also impressive. Coralista Blush was also good. It has a lot of pigment in it. The lip gloss was okay. It was a typical lipgloss. I know it is premature to say this but it's not fancy and it's something I will not repurchase in the future. It gives that super glossy finish. Kinda like the "lechon lips" as to what my mother says. You get what I mean...😜

Overall, I think I got a good purchase with this one. I will play with the items in the coming days and I will give a review of each. 

Have you tried the products above? What are your thoughts about it? I would love to hear from you 😊

Review and Swatches: Mary Lou Manizer

This was actually given to me by my husband coming from a quick trip from Malaysia back to Manila. He went to Sasa Shop in KL to buy this highlighter from the Balm, which I was raving about. I showed him a picture and to my surprise, he bought it for me. 



It has a cute packaging. I actually like all the packaging of the Balm. It makes me want to buy all their cosmetics. The Balm in general has a good quality line up of products. Their blushes, highlighters and eye shadows are pigmented and it has a lasting power. 

In their website, the description of this product goes:

Meet Mary-Lou Manizer, a seemingly innocent honey-hued luminizer that catches everybody’s eye. This highlighter, shadow and shimmer diffuses light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding a subtle glow.
