MAY GLAMBOX 2014

Hey Glamistas!!

This May, due to popular demand, GlamBox is delighted to announce that they will once again be tying up with Benefit, to create another Glamista-exclusive, Benefit box. The box will not only feature a selection of Benefit’s most popular beauty products, but will also be the launch platform for a brand new Benefit's revolutionary product that is yet to be released worldwide – and Glambox subscribers will be the first ones to see the absolutely wonderful product that won't be available to the Retail Market until 1st July!

Let's begin the BENEFIT of this GlamBox :

• Step 1: The POREfessional – Immediate minimizing of pores and fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin! Silky and oil-free, this balm contains Vitamin E and helps make-up stay put.

Review: Works really well as the face base, and keeps the makeup on for a longer time.. But its not as oil-free as I thought!!
Rate: 3.8 out of 5

• Step 2: Fake Up – cover up goes incognito with this best-selling and hydrating crease-control concealer. Packed with Vitamin E, your dark circles won't peak out now.

     

Review: Works absolutely amazing, glides on so well. The best part which I personally like, it conceals and moisturizes at the same time. Its not a full coverage concealer but it gives a lovely natural beauty kinda look.. So I'm totally in love with it!! A Must-Have for minimal beauty lovers..

Rate: 5/5 

• Step 3: Big Easy – A multi balancing complexion perfector, that not only balances moisture and controls oil, but also gives a lightweight and velvety powder-like finish. The ultimate beauty balancing act.

Applied at 9 AM

It kinda started to wear out by 12pm

Review: Bigger Than BB; product makes sure it sticks to what it claims! works well on skin when used with fingers (personal opinion), If being indoors all day, then better to use this than a foundation, it also sits very light on skin..

Rate: 4/5

• Step 4: They’re Real Push-Up Liner –  The moment we’ve all been waiting for – Benefit’s revolutionary new product!  So – what's so good about it? Well, apparently it’s the first ever lash-hugging gel liner in a pen with a super soft custom angled tip.  Five years in the making, they're real push-up gel liner solves the biggest dilemma of beauty - Eyeliner application!

Applied at 9am then checked by 12pm - This pic was taken at 3:15 pm (still in good shape)

Checked back at 6:30 pm

Checked back at 9pm and still at an amazing shape 

Review: After applying it – I realized that it was much easier for me to get the product on super close to my lash line. I also noticed that that it was super long-wearing!  To apply, you need to twist base once to push up the gel liner to the soft AccuFlex tip!  When applied, the product doesn't smudge or melt at all – it dries super, super fast! <3 ... I timed the product for honest review and it worked really well, this product stayed on put for 12 hours straight, not any longer bcoz I had to remove it, Lol :D but I'm sure it would have stayed for even 24 hours (not sure).. And I also should let you know, I wasn't indoors all day - so it absolutely survived the crazy 'Dubai Heat' as well, which is absolutely incredible and deserves an applaud to the creators.

Rate: 6/5 

• Step 5: They’re Real Mascara – lengthens, curls, volumises, lifts and separates without smudging or drying out. Award-winning and featured on Cosmo’s 10 Best Mascaras 2012.

Review: This mascara gives nice volume but doesn't curl or lift the lashes. The picture above is with just One Coat- it was already a tiny bit chunky (personal opinion), If given more coats it definitely would have got clumpy and heavy. The product is nice but only when you are in a hurry in the mornings or late for work/school or something then this comes really handy, coz it doesn't smudge all day and keeps the volume.  * And one more I like about the product is the tip of the wand, (its a little similar to the Givenchy PhenomenEyes Mascara) which gets a lot easier to apply mascara on the lower lashes and the inner corners.

Rate: 3.5/5

So, what do you think of this month’s GlamBox everybody?
