Benefit's Dandelion Blush

just spoke to him over the phone...he sounds a little down...like very stressed out with work...he is also not eating too well..hope he is ok over there..anyway it is time for me to go back to my reviews...have to do something to make myself happy....
so here it is...



i finally got a hold of this...this is supposed to be the most popular blusher at benefit....when i first opened it, i was like...eek....so brown...dun look like a blusher...after applying it, it does not seem to show up on my skin..in the end i had to add benetint to it for some colour...wanted to throw the towel on the product until i tried it again yesterday...this time i applied it in a different room lighting and this time, i think it looks pretty good....it is not the usual kind of pink blushers where u look kawaii..it is more subtle and natural....something like what benetint can deliver except benetint is more pinkish....i like that the powder is very fine and it is really easy to build up the colour...i think this is a good blusher on days where u dun really want to look so made up...my sis says it looks quite nice on me..rating? 4 out of 5...not too bad..love the texture..i will probably try thrrob next..heee...

Benefit Benetint

yes..i finally mustered my courage and my money to buy this...have been hearing raves and raves of this product..in fact benetint is often called the star product of benefit...basically it is a lip and cheek stain...which means it can be used as a blusher or a lip gloss...it costs in a whopping $65 from the counter in sg but i managed to get hold of this online for $30...half price...it is supposed to give u the most natural blush and it really does so..when i put it on, my sis also agreed that the blush looks very natural as though it is glowing inside...unfortunately what made this product stink is firstly the price and the difficult application method...according to the instruction sheets, u are supposed to dot three dots on ur face and then blend in the colour....this is really hard to do coz benetint dries so so quickly that u can literally see the 3 dots on ur face...my guess is that u have to be a pretty good make up artist to handle this product...also because u tend to be a little over zealous in trying to blend the stain quickly, u will find that whatever blemishes that u have covered with a concealor or foundation will be so called rubbed off coz of benetint...but i really love love the colour of the blusher and how natural it looks on me...rating? maybe 3.5/5....will i buy this product again?....hmmm...chances not unless i can master the art of applying this product or if it is really cheap...guess i am still on my quest to find a good blusher...

ok, back to some updates on my life...work...hmmm pretty ok....still doing the curriculum....find it pretty challenging and fun really...perhaps this is the first time where i really enjoy work....married life...not a difference...daddy is still the same..just that i stay over on sat nights now...oh yes, i think the biggest difference is that we become more auntie and uncle as in when we go grocery shopping, we start to look for discounts and so called argue abt which brand of tissue is better...that kind of mundane things lo...my mother in law has been really nice for now...but i have been trying to be a very good daughter in law by volunteering to clean up the house..wedding preparations..so far quite ok...the wedding favours are done..we are going to collect our cards next week...daddy is working on the montage...everything seems quite ok for the moment...basically i just feel that my life at this moment seems to be the most peaceful....i am glad and contented with my life now...i have mochi ice cream in the fridge too...what more can i ask from God?..oh yes, maybe just one more little thing...dear God, shd i buy high beam from benefit too? there have been loads of good reviews too...apppear in my dream tonight k and tell me...thanks!
