Today I can honestly say that my skin has finally graduated from being its worst version to now being at its brightest and clearest. The journey though much like any course was paved with hardships. And probably that is why I became a blogger. To help not only myself but also other people to graduate from bad skin days. I do hope you are taking advantage of all the help I have given in the past. But if it's your first time here then allow me to help you right at this moment and shed some light on some of your skin problems.

If concealing is the department you are having a tough time, our friends from Benefit Cosmetics literally got you covered.

Introducing their whole line of Benefit Cosmetics Boi-ing concealers!

I can tell you now that if you've been holding off getting a wax, you're in for an altruistic treat. You are not only buying yourself a #BrowsOnFleek, you are buying a child's great future!

In May, every peso you pay for a BROW WAX SERVICES goes to MANO AMIGA ACADEMY as part of the newly launched Bold is Beautiful Project of Benefit! Now that my toddler is about to go to school, I can't tell you enough how important it is to provide an education to every child. It's unimagineable how many kids out there who don't have acess to good eduction.

The holidays was brutal on my body and soul but not on my skin thankfully. I did a bit of hiatus on makeup and relied solely on Benetint and Goof Proof to keep me looking hoooman! But you know what? It was refreshing with less to no beakouts. I would usually get a few huge cystic acne a few days before I get my period but my skin was pretty much tame the whole time. 

Goes to show that what you put on your skin matters! Even my pores were tamer. Ugh! I hate my pores. Not that I would wish for a Korean flawless skin but I wouldn’t mind it disappearing for awhile.


Best way to begin #2017. So blessed to be friends with these girls. #TeamE #BBFF 👯👯👯

So when the girls rounded up to meet with Jheng (remeber her? Iambrigitte.com?) I decided to whip out the new Benefit POREfessional Pore Minimizing Makeup. Not to forget that I can’t live without their Mattte Rescue Gel, but I also have love and hate relationship with POREfessional Pore Minimizing Primer. I’m not wishing for the stars. I know how huge my pores are especially on the nose area so I was surprise how nice this makeup turned out to be.

Check out how it performed here on my before and after photos:

If you follow me on Instagram, I posted this before and after photo and asked people to guess the product I'm using. Well hey! Many of those who took the shot at guessing got the brand name right!

And what exactly is the brow product to create this nice pair of brows?

Played with makeup again! Yey!! 

When a busy momma has time to kill, this momma plays with makeup. But who in the right mind would put on a full face for a playdate? Me! Well, I had time to kill since Claud's afternoon nap took quite a awhile. I didn't want to her up so after getting dressed, I went ahead and gathered all the make up I had on my desk and tried to create a look with all of them.

Who in their right mind will launch a 40 piece Brow Collection in one go?? Benefit Cosmetics, of course! Somebody just hit the beauty addiction hard and Benefit is the only one who can pull it off. Can you think of anyone else?

Fact: Our eyelids are very sensitive. Our lids have a very thin layer of skin that is easily prone to damage, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Fact: We barely care for our lids
Fact: We tend to torture our lids with our love of putting eyeshadows
Fact: We oftentimes subject our eyes to rubbing especially when we removed waterproof mascara and eyeliners.

These are the many things that we do to our lids that ultimately damage it.

Myth: There are no products available out there to care for our eyelids.

The Benefit Air Patrol is here at your service.


It took awhile for me to review this because it's one of those products that I thought was too good to be true. One, it claims to be sooo many things! I mean, one product that's a skincare, spf, skin color corrector and primer? Two, it comes in such an unusual packaging that claims to be as soft as your ring finger and it's made out of materials used for mattresses and pillows.

Srsly. How hardworking can one product get? I've been in the business of beauty and beauty blogging for a long time to know when someone is pulling my leg.

It's not everyday you get to play with something as unique as Benefit's Bling Brows. Last year was festive one for me because I had so much fun adding a bit of pizzazz to my usual look. Really, being friends with Benefit has... benefits! Lots of it! Take a look at my holiday gifts from the brand that in every Filipina's makeup kits and wishlists!


This is how the Amethyst Swarovski stones look on me. Isn't is a beauty? It's not heavy or irritating! The crystals are very lightweight. I chose to apply this on the lids and apparently, it's a popular choice! Other beauty bloggers though applied it straight on the brows and on the brow bones.


Benefit also brought their 2015 Holiday kits that are now sold out!




Don't worry their permanent lines are well stocked! I was assured that their Box o' powders are all available in all stores. The Hoola bronzer is a favorite so grab a box of that one, you won't regret it. I swear!


Benefit treated us to more bling that day with this charm bracelets! So fancy!



Here are my choices! I picked out a laptop, a diamond ring, infinity sign, heart, letter C for Claud, LOL for Benefit (because laughter is the best cosmetic!), and some birthstones to represent me and the hub. 



Here's Nicole of Beauty and Sparkle with the famous Jared Bailey picking out charms for their bracelets.


Beautiful Benebabes share their love for the brand and the new Bling Brows.


And though it's not the holidays, I really think the Bling Brows are a all-year round must-have for ladies who want to try something different. It's that step to a higher level of becoming the veritable beauty enthusiasts that we all are!


Their early holiday gift is this blinged out Limited Edition They're Real Mascara. 


Benefit is all about the bling and the essentials, too, so they included some Nippon goodies on our gift bags. Thanks, Sydney and Benebabes, for this!



There is always fun enteratinment at Benefit events. There's lively music and dancers that imbibes tha fun loving nd carefree philosophy of the brand.


with Shari and Nikki! Without planning, we all had Bling Brow on our lids. :) Great minds think alike. :)


With Kriska of Benefit PH (upper righ corner), Angela and Jackie. Love being with these girls!



The food served at Vask was really good! It's my second time here and every time the menu just gets better. Thanks for this treat, Benebabes!



Benefit always throws the best events. These girls are like sisters to me already and I'm so happy that the brand is doing well in our country. We really need more Benefit in our lives. Their brand philosophy is something I look up to and it's all about empowering women without losing that sense of humor and zest for life. Benefit is all fun with a just the right amount of determination for success.

If you're looking to revamp your kit, head on to Benefit. It's the pink, pretty and fun counters in the most popular malls in the Metro. So easy to spot! Promise!

When Benefit Cosmetics Philippines invited me to their event a week ago to meet Jared Bailey, I learned that he's called the Global Brow Expert! How he got that name got me curious. Well, he's licenced aesthetician and he made it his life mission to make every women's brows But seriously, this brow genius is actually the International Spokesperson of Benefit's Global Services. And he came over all the way from SanFo to share with us his neat tips and tricks on how to create a spectacular pair of brows.

His adorable tips:

1. Brows are sisters, not twins.
2. Arch is important!
3. Have your brows groomed by an expert and by that he meant, visit the nearest Benefit counter to have your brows fixed by Benebabes he himself trained! :)

Simple tricks to live by when doing our brows, right? Brow Mapping at its finest, Benefit has perfected creating he perfect arches and taming the lioness brows we Pinay tend to have (if yours is not, I envy you!). Now, before you jump out of your computer or put down your phones to do yours to go and get your brows done, I have more news from Benefit! Read on!
