Ciao belle signorine,
Dawn recently got me hooked on online shopping for make-up products.
I've only made two purchases so far, and one of them is the Benefit Erase Paste. I wasn't planning on buying it but I heard Benefit and the price and I said "BUY IT!"
This would be my first high-end concealer. I've recently realized I'd only need a good concealer and powder whenever I'm on the go (which happens almost 3 times in a week), so I've been looking out to try other brands. I've used concealers from Sonia Kashuk, San San, Body Shop and Elf.
REVIEW:
As I would expect of any Benefit product (mostly those I've seen on the net and in Dawn's stuff) the packaging looked so pretty, it made me giggle like an infatuated teenager. :)
A few precautionary advice on the box.
What the product says and instructions.
I forgot to bring the small pamphlet about this one so there are no shots of it... sorry. Maybe I would add that in one my next posts.
Other details of the product.
I like that there's a spatula included and another cover inside. I'm a neat freak in some stuffs so I'm glad that they had these.
Also the spatula would be a great help to ensure that you get every last bit of the product especially those on the sides of the bottle.
This is a pre-loved product by the way and it still had 90% in it. :)
One dip and you get a lot of the product already.
When applied, it goes on quite strong so you really just need a small amount every time you use it. It also feels a little sticky for my liking but it does spread quite well.
I've asked Dawn to use it on her since it's a little whiter than I am and I need powder to even it out.
Here is a before and after, no prior foundation and no primers as well.
As you can see, it's great for under the eyes and conceals well. I find it very useful in covering up spots on my forehead and cheeks as it gives a really good coverage.
I haven't used it for longer than 4 - 5 hours because I have less classes to attend to these days, so I can't comment on whether it lasts longer than that.
If I could, I'd use it as a foundation, but it's too expensive for that purpose and I'd need to be fairer than I am now.
What I like:
1. Packaging is super pretty.
2. Spatula included.
3. It conceals really well.
4. A little of it goes a long way.
5. Instructions included
6. Feels light on skin
What I don't like:
1. Feels sticky when applied.
2. Although it's locally available, the branch (@ Greenbelt 5) is quite far from the house.
3. Hard to find another cheap one. Regular price is quite expensive for me.
Will I buy again?
Of course, if I have the money for the original price.
Or we find a another deal online. :)
I still use the San San and Sonia Kashuk concealers that I have with me and reserve this baby for when I pull all nighters.
So have you tried this before? Any comments on it? Any other concealers you can recommend?
Cheers,
LIZ
