Secrets of Spy Gal: March 2014 #BDJBOX 7-day Challenge (Benefit product mini-reviews!)

Sunday, April 06, 2014

Get ready to be prepped and primed! This year's summer heat wave is going to be pretty challenging as it is sure to melt our made up faces in no time, but fret not. every beauty problem has a solution. The MARCH BDJBOX got you covered! Here, let me show you with my #bdjbox7day challenge.

1. POREFESSIONAL PRO BALM. The first part in achieving a flawless face is to minimize pores and Benefit POREfessional Pro Balm is all you need to complete this mission! Such an awesome primer that also minimizes fine lines. Pretty cool huh? Now that I've tried it, I don't know how I can live without it!


2. STAY DON'T STRAY. This dual-action eye primer from Benefit works for both concealers and eyeshadows making sure they stay in place and last throughout the day. Perfect for those busy days that you can't be bothered to check the mirror. Notice how the eyebrow pencil has faded at the end of the day but my eye makeup seems untouched.


3. HELLO FLAWLESS OXYGEN WOW is lightweight and feels like you're not wearing foundation at all. Best for people looking for a natural (light to medium coverage) for that healthy-looking and luminous complexion. It is a brightening liquid foundation but I got the Ivory shade which was too light for my entire face. So instead, I used it to brighten the areas of my face that needs highlighting (eye area, top of my cheeks, and t-zone). Gotta try a regular shade to see how it lasts and actually performs as a brightening oil-free foundie.


4. AGENT ZERO SHINE. For instant touch-ups without moving your makeup nor adding more layers of foundation on your face, Benefit's The Porefessional Agent Zero Shine to the rescue! Zaps shine and even smoothens the look of pores for that naturally flawless finish! Gotta love makeup! Gotta love Benefit!


5. STAY FLAWLESS 15-HOUR PRIMER.  Used Benefit Stay Flawless 15-hour primer today and it did lock on my foundation like magnet superbly! The weather wasn't at all forgiving today that my fever spiked up again but my makeup is quite intact! Used with The POREfessional Pro Balm and Stay Don't Stray, I only needed very minimal foundation to achieve this seemingly flawless face!


6. Discovering this power trio from Benefit - The POREfessional Pro Balm, Stay Don't Stray, and Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow. The nomakeup makeup look is best achieved with a prepped and primed face for that super flawless finish! Mission accomplished!


7. It wasn't the dress I put on that made last night's stroll around the beach resort nor the wading among the crowds of beach party goers that resembled a rowdy bunch of college kids on spring break that completed an exotic and glamorous night. It was Benefit's woody floral scent called UNDER MY SPELL NOELLE eau de toilette. It's a pretty wild scent and a strong one that I wouldn't wear casually. But for endless summer nights, the smell of lingonberry accord spiced with black pepper and cardamom with floral scents of wild orchid, violet, vanilla flower, jasmine and rose that also leaves a strong trail with patchouli, oud, black amber, vanilla, benzoin and raspberry is probably the most enchanting thing there is. This isn't your first date perfume, but it's for sizzling hot summer nights alright.

So there you go! #BDJBOX rocks! Summer will be extra fun now that you can be equipped with these to combat shine and stay flawless throughout the summer season. Just remember, YOU DON'T NEED A MIRROR TO KNOW YOU'RE GORGEOUS. :)
