Benefit now in Rustan's Makati!
Thursday, September 6, 2012 at 7:53AM Great news! Aside from Greenbelt 5 and Rustan's Shangri-La, you can now get your Benefit fix in Rustan's Makati. It's a boutique, not a counter, which for me makes the shopping experience so much better.
The new and shiny pink store
Aubrey Bautista, Benefit's Brand Manager, with event host Isabel Roces
Here are photos of the launch. I unfortunately was not able to make it (boohoo), which makes me sad, because everyone looks like they had a blast! Anyway aside from the new store, watch out for the new Benefit kits: three for the face and three for lips and cheeks. You'll love 'em if you love Benefit's clever palettes. ;)
The Brow Bar
Do visit soon! :)

Will definitely visit soon, thankfully there's 2 branches in Makati already!
Benefit's kiosk area at Shangrila always catches my eye because of their fun packaging but I've never really bought anything from them because I'm not a make-up person. It's only recently that I've decided to finally have my eyebrows groomed (at 33!) and I'm glad I went to the Brow bar to get it done. :)
I've always wanted to try out stuff from Benefit, but whenever I'm in the store I'm distracted by so many things because the packaging's just so cute and quirky! So what happens is I end up not getting anything in the end, haha!
I love Benefit.
And I got a girl crush on Isabel. :)
Awesome! For me but not my wallet. :) I have the Benefit Coralista blush + Boi-ing concealer ---both did not disappoint. Quoting my sweet Lola's words: It looks so bonggacious, iha! It would be a great bonding time with thee ladies in the family this coming weekend, fingers crossed. :)
On a another note: One of my fashionista friends, Amira, mentioned in passing how when she's going through a rough day, she would drop by the Greenbelt branch after work and said that as soon as she enters the store, the "feel good" atmosphere there would simply lift her spirits up. She said, she loves how it caters not only the woman in us but the little girl in us too. Come to think of it, she was right. Cant wait to check out this new branch with my family & amigas. :)
I love benefit products. Erase paste does a great job in covering dark undereyes. Even though its a bit pricey, you get the quality of what you pay for. :)
I heard about Benefit's membership card or something like that which you have to purchase 10K worth of their products. I am really interested about Benefit's products! <3 Yeay for more accessible location in Rustans! <3
FUN! I do wish Benefit opens a store in Cebu so that we Cebuanas could also experience the Benefit difference :D I'm dying to get my brows shaped perfectly at Benefit's Brow Bar. I hear it does wonders!
Have always had such a love/hate relationship with Benefit... and I think I finally decided that I've turned off too many times by the number of products that don't agree with my skin. I much prefer theBalm, which in a small way reminds me of Benefit, but with an even more pin-up-y vibe (and friendlier prices). I may still try the They're Real mascara though, since that won't have to go on my skin!
Gah I love staring at Benefit's packaging. I can't really afford anything and window shopping makes me feel giddy because I get all spazzy. ;w; Two shops in the same district! Visiting both will probably make me look like a weird person just strolling in and out not buying anything haha. Well mostly because I tend to ask about things or when the SAs enthusiastically look at you haha. XD; Someday, I will own one item from benefit and I'll probably start with their primer.
The place looks amazing! Id be the kid in the candy store in here! Benefit is love no matter the price. Id like to try the Hello Oxygen Flawless Wow foundie (did I get ir right? hehe) and Hervana boxed blush. Have tried Nars Orgasm, see how it compares.
PS
Isabel Roces doesnt look real in the picture. Its probably the lighting cause she looks amazing!
i'll visit soon.:) i want the erase paste for my racoon eyes hihi
I passed by before they had their opening and was surprised that a new Benefit store is there! They chose a good location hehe I'm not into Benefit as much as I am into other brands (like Inglot, Shu, and Majolica Majorca), but they do have a couple of gems for me. I love their Watt's Up highlighter! :D It's a good thing it lasts for a loooong time because like most (or all haha) of Benefit's products, it's hella expensive!
I was able to try a sample (in a sachet) of the Pore-fessional that a friend gave me, and boy do I like it! That's the first of Benefit's products that I got to try though. I look forward to sampling some more before I splurge! Does Erase Paste have a sample as well? Where can I get hold of them? Or maybe those are exclusive to events? :)
Hi Nin! Check out this post by Sophie, you can see all the kits:

They have Boi-ing concealer (two shades!) which are pretty good concealers IMHO.
Finally somewhere nearer my office place. I've triend the porefessional and it works great! Now I know why benefit products are expensive. Really delivers results.
