My Benefit Cosmetics Haul!

My Benefit Cosmetics Haul!

Last January, I took the chance and ordered some goodies from the Benefit Cosmetics website (www.benefitcosmetics.com) because they are offering FREE International Shipping at that time. The Shipping cost is about $14.00 to the Philippines so; I grabbed the opportunity to buy my most coveted items. There is a high markup if I buy the items in the local counters that is why I went gaga when I learned about the promo.

I received the package just recently, but the post office stamp stated that it reached our country last January 27. It took about 20 days to deliver the items. I was really nervous about this purchase because I had bad experiences with customs before, and my items might get lost in the way. Thank God it didn’t! 🙂 My mom only paid the usual Php 50.00 in the post office.

When I opened the box, it showed my receipt, plus this booklet. It contains all Benefit Cosmetics’ products presented in a very artsy way.

BenefitCosmetics2

It was wrapped with this white printed thin wrapper, and there was support underneath. They all came in good shape and unopened! 🙂

Below are the items that I bought, and how much each costs in the Philippines. I just researched for the prices, let me know if they have changed. 🙂

Boi-ing ($20)- Php 1,100
Double the Real ($23)- Php 1,600
Rockateur ($28)- Php 1,600
Hoola ($28)- Php 1,600
Gimme Brow ($22)- Php 1,300

BenefitCosmetics4

I paid $121.00 for everything. I saved about Php 1,500 or more because they are definitely much cheaper in the U.S. As of this day, I already used Hoola and Rockateur, and I am so IN LOVE with them! They are worth every buck! I thought Hoola will not show up on my medium skin, but it did! I will post separate reviews for each, except for They’re Real because I already reviewed that here. Let me know what you want to see first! 🙂

    Yes, if you love contouring, get HOOLA. Also, their blushes are amazing. I have Coralista and Rockateur. 🙂

ACK! I love this loot! I love They’re Real! Though instead of Boi-ing I might have gotten Lemon Aid, which they say is a great eye base. Love the powder boxes you got, those are my top 2, too 🙂

    Juvy Posted on 2:46 pm - Feb 21, 2014

    Boi-ing is not that creamy but it holds well. Good for blemishes but not on dark undereye circles. Both powders are amazing! My first was Coralista. They are long-wearing!

Hollie Posted on 10:35 am - Feb 22, 2014

wow! sooo jeally right now! I still have yet to try products from Benefit but I’ve been reading really good reviews about them. And yes, they are quite pricey here. hehe

    Juvy Posted on 2:20 pm - Feb 23, 2014

    I don’t really know. My mom only picked it up at the post office, and paid php50.

Victoria Posted on 2:37 pm - Feb 24, 2014

Oooooh, you got Hoola. OMG I am so excited for you! Hehe

Maxine Marcelino Posted on 11:48 pm - Feb 25, 2014

OMG, i really wanna try rockateur! I love boi-ing, and I think you’ll love it too! It’s a really high coverage concealer. 🙂

    Juvy Posted on 2:20 am - Feb 26, 2014

    Rockateur is a great blush! GO GET IT! 🙂 I love Boi-ing, and all concealers in general. Face saver! Hehehe!

Hi, I’m quite interested on buying benefit cosmetic online and have it shipped to the Phils. It’s my first time so I don’t know much info and hope you can answer some of my questions:
1. How did you know that your package already arrived?
2. Why was it delivered to the post office if you have provided your address in the Phils?
3. Is there a tracking # to track your orders?

    Juvy Posted on 1:18 pm - Jul 3, 2014

    Hi Chi! I think all packages from a foreign country goes to the post office first if the shipping is a standard mail. I just received a notice from the post office that I have a shipment, and there are no tracking nos. Hope that helps!

Benefit Cosmetics Box o’ Powder in Rockateur Review and Swatch! | PlumpCheeks.com Posted on 12:00 am - Sep 29, 2014

[…] Like most beauty lovers, I easily get attracted to pretty, shiny things. Aside from the product itself, the beautiful packaging attracts me as well. When the Benefit Rockateur Box o’ Powder came out, I knew that I have to own it. I waited for a while before I finally bought this months ago, and it has been a favorite since then. (My Benefit Haul!). […]
