Review: Bench Paintbox's soft shine lipstick

One of the things I love the most are the lipsticks! I'm always excited to buy new ones and try on new shades. So I was quite eager to find out the my lipstick from Avon's almost gone. I went to the mall to actually buy a lipstick from Wet n Wild but their stall's gone..idk where to find to it so I went to my second choice which was Paintbox.

This is my second time to use Bench's makeup line, the first one was the blusher and it turns out to be fine and I'm still using it :)

I'm a big fan of pink lippies so I bought this Juicy Pink shade. I was about to buy the other one but sadly, they ran out of stocks :( No regrets in this shade, though.

The back of the box. Err, I forgot to check the date of manufacturing, I should have bought the fresher product.

 I really, really love the shade. It matches my nail polish, Glaze Flare from Chic. It suits me well :)

Sorry for the LQ swatch hihi.

My overall verdict: 4.5/5

It dries out the lips, sometimes create patches and not that long lasting.

Review: Bench's Paint box blusher

It has been a while. I haven't done much reviewing because I've been busy in school. You know, college. I was in SM Manila earlier with my friends when I remembered that my Nichido blusher's gone (thanks to my sister who "accidentally" dropped it). So we went pass Bench to check on their cosmetic line, Paint box. We're in a hurry so without any doubts, I grabbed one, tried few shades, then went directly to the counter.

You can get this blusher for P168.00

Out of 4 shades (I think, can't recall sorry hihi) I chose Cheeky Pink because...I don't know, the color's cute and it matches my skin tone.

 It's pigmented, you can go with one swipe :)

It also has a compartment in it, yehey mirror and brush!! What I don't like about the brush is that it doesn't have plastic in it (for correcting the position of the bristles) and the bristles of the brush is quite...ugly lol, it's not that firm and I've noticed that it breaks away easily.

Since this one is a powder blush, it has a maximum effect of 3 hours or less. And one more thing, the name of the brand seems to fade easily :(

My verdict: 3/5
Not sure if I'll repurchase though.
