Confessions of Concealaholic Review!

Surprisingly enough - I do not look like a goddess upon awakening. I know this is extremely shocking to all of you, but take a deep breathe and keep reading. I'm always (and i mean always) on the lookout for a good concealer, and when I heard about the product I'm about to review - I was extremely intrigued. For those of you who have never heard of Benefit cosmetics or have never had the opportunity to try them, they're a company based out of San Fran & have taken somewhat of a "fun" approach to make-up.

If you don't like to spend a ton on makeup, I'm going to forewarn that they are a wittle bit pricey. I was skeptical at first, too ... trust me. But the thing that kind of swayed me was their mission statement (just a heads up that I am a huge marketing nerd who reads mission statements hahaha.. it's what I went to school for). The line that said "who said makeup has to be serious to be good?" kind of stuck with me & I decided to throw in the towel and try them out. Besides, I work my ass off for my moolah & this truly seemed like a worthwhile product for me:

 

Confessions of a Concealaholic - $36

includes - "that gal" brightening face primer

"erase paste" (aka jesus in a pot) concealer

"boi-ing" concealer/blemish fix

"lemon aid" eyelid primer

and

"eye bright" eye brightener 

That Gal Brightening Primer - Not my favorite product out of this kit but it's still a good travel size primer. The major turn off for me is that it's scented and that it's pink. Doesn't do wonders or anything, but it's a primer. I'm not sure about the "brightening" aspects (I didn't see much) - but it did tighten up my skin a little which was a plus. My skin seemed to absorb it pretty quickly so I had to use more product than I normally do with my other primers. But just ignore this because the rest of the products are amazing...

Erase Paste - I am going to do a video on this because I love it so much. If you are looking for a good concealer - you will not find anything better than this. PERIOD. I have tried so many concealers that don't have the gusto to cover up dark circles, especially on the inner corners of the eyes. This glides on so easily, covers COMPLETELY, and the best part is - if you have dry skin, it smooths on right over top of it instead of CLINGING to it like so many other concealers do. If there is one reason to buy this kit THIS IS IT. If you struggle with dark circles, you literally will want to marry this product. If you do - let me know how that goes for you.

 Boi-Ing Concealer/Blemish Fix - Ladies, if you want to SCREAM thanks to those little red specks on your face every few times a month, I understand your pain. If you've got any type of scarring, be it from acne or stitches or whatever, it can be extremely frustrating to even out your skin tone. Foundation doesn't fully cover them and those other concealers can sometimes make them look even worse since they're so hard to blend in. The great thing about boi-ing in this kit is it gives you a dark and a light shade to mix together to find the perfect shade for you. It's perfect for concealing those goddamn little spots on your face for a flawless look and it blends effortlessly. Seriously, a few pats with your finger & you'd never even know you had a zit. Another awesome, high quality concealer.

Lemon-Aid Primer - They advertise this as a primer in the kit, but I researched it a little and learned it's true hidden talent (which I noticed when I used it). Ever not really feel like putting makeup on, but it bugs you that your eyelids aren't the same color as your skintone? Me, too. This evens out your eyelid color, regardless of how dark or light your skin tone is, and brightens up the area at the same time. So if you don't feel like putting shadow on overtop, no big deal.. you're still going to look alert thanks to lemon-aid's super powers. Perfect for summer, biotches!

Eye Bright - Well judging by the name I think you can guess what this magical purple stuff does .. but it typically comes in pencil form and is meant for the inner corners of your eyes. Seriously, a few dabs of this stuff and it does some magical tricks with light and BAM! The difference is really incredible. You'll have brighter, larger looking eyes in just a few quick seconds. It's not intense like a white shadow or a silver one that a lot of girls turn to for that "big and bright" look - and it's long lasting (mine stuck around all day). Another great product for when you don't feel like doing much but still want to look pulled together.


So if you're looking for a flawless face - you're not going to find better products, and that's the honest to god truth. This is perfect for summer when you don't feel like doing a lot in terms of color but you still want to conceal problem areas and even out your skintone. If you're just a foundation, concealer, and mascara kind of girl - this will be your new best friend, too. I promise you guys will love it.
