How to Look the Best at Everyting

The first time I laid my eyes on Benefit cosmetics, I immediately fell in-love with their packaging! It looks so vintage and pin-up like. So when I had the chance to drop by their flagship store at Greenbelt 5 last December 2012 for an eyebrow grooming session at the Brow Bar, my boyfriend took the initiative to purchase me this "How to Look the Best at Everything" Flawless Complexion Kit. 
The box is such a beauty, isn't it?

For Php1,600.00, it contains four miniature sizes of Benefit's iconic products. You have three choices of shades for the set -Fair, Medium, and Deep. I choose the "Light" set for my skin is acidic. 
Let's take a peek inside

Contents

The Porefessional 7.5 ml - PRO Balm to minimize the appearance of pores

Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW "Cheers to me" Champagne 7 ml - Brightening Make-up

Boi-ing 01 & 02 1.5 g each - Industrial Strength Concealer

Hello Flawless Powder "Me Vain" Champagne 4 g - Custom powder cover-up for face with SPF 15


Swatches
POREfessional 
POREfessional minimizes the appearance of pores and helps regulate shine when applied before your regular base.
Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW has a medium coverage which looks natural while giving your skin a glowing  complexion.
Boi-ing Concealer 01 & 02 exactly matches my skin when  blended together. I prefer using this concealer on blemishes than on my dark under eye circles.

Hello Flawless Powder perfectly sets my base leaving my face with the right matte finish.


The box also includes a mini-manual which you can detach on its mirror. It provides tips on proper application of its contents.

Hits:

* This set is great for beginners and first-time users.
* A little amount of the product goes a long way. The kit may last a month or two.
* The size of the box is as small as a paperback book which is convenient for travelling.
* The products delivers its promises and leaves even my 4-hour sleep face with a subtle glow and provides a good base for my other make-up.

Misses:

* I don't think that the mini-manual has a lot of helping to do.

Overall:

Among all the four products in the kit, POREfessional and Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW tops my list of beauty must haves. I will be repurchasing the two products in regular sizes upon finishing the kit's contents.
