Benefit Cosmetics Luuux Pack


I finally received my third Luuux order in the mail a couple weeks ago so i wanted to a review for you of my ordering experience/process and the products i received from the Benefit Cosmetics Luuux Pack which is 7,560 Luuux$ in the shop and can be seen by clicking the link. If you're unfamiliar with Luuux you basically upload your own photos & reviews, comment on posts, etc. which earns you points for free stuff.
Ordered: Sept.1st
Processed: Sept. 15th
Completed: Sept. 20th
Received: Sept. 22nd
= Total of 21 days
Overall the ordering process took a little longer than my other two previous Luuux orders but it wasn't terrible i guess. It took a total of 21 days from ordering to the day i received it in the mail. Just don't expect to get things ASAP. Luuux has to audit your account to make sure you've fairly earned your points and then they go ahead and place the order. However, after 2 weeks of no progression with my order i decided to email them and ask them if there was an issue or why nothing was happening, i didn't get a response but that same day my order was finally processed. So i guess sometimes you just have to reach out to contact them to make sure you're order goes through or it may take longer.

Overall im really pleased with this order as i expected i would be. I have tested the Bathina body balm, That Gal primer, and Some Kind-a Gorgeous foundation already and they are definitely all high quality. I will do detailed reviews & photos on each product when i have given myself a fair amount of time to try them all out and develop an opinion.

Also i want to apologize for being MIA on luuux & blogspot for so long, not supporting my friends by commenting on their posts, or answering any comments/questions that have been left for me on my posts. Unfortunately i have been very sick and very busy :( Hope you can all forgive me, and when i start feeling better i will definitely do some catch-up.

Benefit Erase Paste in Medium



I recieved this mini Benefit Erase Paste (Medium) in the Benefit Ready.. Set.. STAY! Trio ($26) in my Mother's Day order from www.sephora.com
In most cases i would have purchased this in Light, not medium, because of how fair skinned I am. However, i find that the pink undertones in the Medium shade are great for concealing my under eye circles!
[PROS]
VERY creamy
pigmented
applies very easily
a little goes a loooong way
blends super easy
doesn't crease or wear off
[CONS]
This mini container is too small to fit fingers in so you need a small brush (or use your pinky).
Besides the fact that the mini is too small for using fingers in it, it still has alot of product. Its amazing just how little you need to cover something and how easily it glides on and covers everything up! I like to use the Benefit Stay Don't Stay eye primer under this to make it keep extra long. It doesnt work well for eyeshadows but its great for concealers!
Overall, this is an A+ product and i should have bought it alot sooner! *photos are mine.

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Birthday Suit





I got this mini Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Birthday Suit in an exclusive set "Ready.. Set.. STAY!" ($26) which comes with this, Erase Paste in Medium, and a full size Stay Don't Stray eyeshadow and concealer primer.

Even though this is a 'mini' its actually only a couple ounces smaller than the full size Creaseless Creams and definitely still alot of product even though it looks small. Buying this set is an easy way to test out 3 of Benefit's best-sellers at a lower price.

[PROS]
VERY creamy
Smooth and pigmented
Doesn't crease
A little goes a very long way
Can be worn alone or under shadows
Can be worn sheer or opaque
Very portable/travel friendly
You can use your brush or finger to apply
Not too pricey, $19 (full size)
Comes in alot of different shades


[CONS]
I wish the 'mouth' or opening of the container were wider. When using my finger to apply I have to use my pinky because my other fingers barely fit.

When I applied this product with a brush it applied super sheer and shimmery (
no fallout) and when applied with my finger it was opaque. The product description says that this shade, Birthday Suit, is a 'brushed chrome' which would make you think its silver - but it isnt. Its more like taupe. However, i still like it ALOT. It seriously did not crease all day long underneath of my shadows and provided a very nice base color. Pretty much everything Benefit claims about this product is true!!

If you like cream shadows but dont want creasing or smudging, plleeasseee try these and don't waste your money on other products!! They are amazing!

Benefit High Beam



I have had this product for a few months now and I absolutely adore it!  Benefit High Beam is perfect for anyone who wants to add a little light to their face and acts as an amazing complexion enhancer! It has a pinkish tone (as you can see from the swatches) but this also comes in Moon Beam, which has a peach tone. 

This product blend so well and is perfect for buildable coverage. I would highly recommend it to anyone who isnt partial to blushes and/or bronzers but needs a little something to spice up their face routine! High Beam is so beautiful! Just add a few dots to cheeks and blend outward! It can also be applied to the bridge of nose or anywhere else that needs a little illuminating.
