Benefit's Little Love Potions Holiday Collection
Being a Benebabes, I couldn't miss the opportunity of owning this gorgeous gift called Little Love Potions box at all. I thought the price was worth paying since you get to try 10 different items at once! Although I already have some of the items from other palettes/kit, I was keen on getting it as I wanted to try Hoola in deluxe size rather than paying RM120 for a big box and not liking it. I am pretty sure it's worth it for a gift or if you have never tried any of their products before. Before I get started, I would like to inform that I am not sponsored by Benefit Cosmetics whatsoever.
The first item is called It's Potent Eye Cream, 3.0g
It is know as brightening cream to fade away dark circles.
I read online that you only need to use a little and the instructions were using it by gently dabbing it on your dark circles, not rub. I do admire the package but I feel like it's so tiny that more often, when I dabbed in with my pinkie finger my nail tends to get in it too. However, I did notice some changes on my dark circles if you use them consistently. It will not fade away my dark circles but it brightens up a little and I thought it was good enough since I hardly have 8 hours of sleep daily. It doesn't not crease my eyes when I apply foundation and the smell was pleasant. I might repurchase this when it runs out.
Overall : 4/5
The second item is the Hoola Plush, 6.5ml
A nude colored lip gloss
As you can see my swatches, it's very transparent and I clearly did not enjoy the scent at all. It's not too sticky but I am pretty sure you don't have to splurge a lot for a good plush lip gloss, neither. I did not like anything from this product and I am sure others may enjoy it.
Overall : 1 (for its packaging)/5
Since I have already reviewed High Beam and Stay Don't Stray in my previous post, I shall review Posietint.
Posietint, 2.5ml
A poppy-pink tinted lip and cheek stain
I am not a big fan of their lip and cheek tint because they tend to dry out very fast. I already own Benetint and Cha Cha tint and having this additional color wasn't a hype for me at all. It's probably going to be my sister's as she loves pink so much.
It's so tiny that I probably will have a hard time digging it from my makeup pouch but definitely travel-friendly for some. I am not fancying this, neither. I am more of a lipstick or lip balm/gloss girl. If you tend to do dots like I always do, you will need to rub it as fast as you can as it tends to leave this visible dot (if you get what I mean). Out of 3 shades, I prefer Benetint's scent the most.
Overall : 2/5
Bad Gal mascara, 0.4z
A black, non-waterproof mascara
I have always wanted to try Bad Gal lash because how many claimed it's better than They're Real lash all for a natural look. Thus, I am more of a 1 coat girl so I dislike having to do multiple coats to achieve voluminous lashes. This was alright. Not a waterproof mascara so it will smudge if you're not too careful. It's not a superb wet formula so I recommend for a day look.
Hoola Bronzer, 0.3g
Overall : 3/5
Watt's Up highlighter
A shimmer highlighter to apply on your cheeks and the bridge of your nose
I absolutely enjoy this because it does what it's supposed to and it's color is so natural compare to High Beam. I usually use this to highlight my cheeks as it's a little shimmery but it doesn't not last long on humid weather. Probably one of its products that I truly enjoy and will repurchase for highlighting purposes.
Overall : 3.5/5
A bronzing powder
A matte bronzer is what I have been looking for awhile and getting this kit was a win-win situation because I don't have to pay for a full price for it and still get to try various products. It's not too dark for my skin and I often put on my nose for a 2 minute nose job and my high cheeks which many claimed is a good thing but it does make my face in defined shape. A worth try and I really love it. It's quite small and as all the products are travel friendly, I just have to bring it with me. It does not match with Hervana at all so I usually pair up with Coralista or any coral blush. It's weird I need bronzer for every single day or I feel incomplete.
The last item is That Gal, 7.5ml
A brightening face primer
It smells exactly the same as Girl Meets Pearl and very pinkish texture as well. I tried using this without my usual POREfessional and my face tends to get oily faster. I would not use it unless I'm going for "just powder day" otherwise. When blended, it leaves a pinkish finish and I thought it didn't help me to brighten my face in any way so yeah I guess it's pretty sad.
Overall : 2.5/5
Out of 10 items, Hoola, Watt's Up, It's Potent are the products I enjoyed most. I have already tried POREfessional, High Beam, Stay Don't Stray so it's pretty much a backup items that I am glad I don't have to repurchase just yet.
Still worth the price, though.
I guess that's all for my post, I will be posting my skin care products soon.

P.S : Has anyone gotten the Countdown To Love?
