1.0 out of 5 stars Tales From the Crypt, February 12, 2011

This review is from: Benefit Cosmetics Confessions of a Concealaholic (Misc.)

I really researched this product and its reviews before I made my purchase. I'm 40 and have been searching (so far without any luck) for a good concealing and/or brightening product to help with the dark veins that are visible through my skin from the corners of, to underneath my eyes. I was thrilled to find Benefit's Confessions of a Concealaholic. The reviews were mostly positive on all the sites I researched so I decided to give it a go. Boy was I excited when the goods finally arrived! However, my excitement soon turned to dismay as I started using the Erase Paste, Bo-ing, Lemon-Aid and Eyebright. I went from having dark circles/veins to looking 80 with dark circles/veins. These products found EVERY microscopic line and pore and emphasized them to the max. I tried using it on a couple of occasions just to see if somehow I'd done something wrong but the results were the same each time I used the kit. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. I do not consider myself to have dry skin so I was really bummed to see how these products aged me terribly and didn't even conceal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good But Fragile Product, January 18, 2011

I'm a huge Benefit fan and I usually love all the makeup I buy from them. This was actually a Christmas present for a friend but I already knew most of the product before I bought it.

"That Gal": I'm not a big fan of face primer as I'm not really convinced it makes that big of a difference. However, it is good for when you have dark circles under your eyes after that late night of partying and you need to look alive for work. This definitely comes in handy for those cases.

Erase Paste: Again, this is most helpful when it comes to those dark circles.

Boi-ing: Benefit's concealer is actually really nice - it helps to even out skin tone and is pretty long lasting.

Lemon aid: Personally, I don't see a big difference with eyelid primer and without in terms of color. However, this primer does make eyeshadow stay on longer and makes it harder to smear which is always useful.

Eye bright: Even though I might be repetitive, the main use of this is to help with dark circles.

Conclusion? This kit is great for a sample kit of all of their products that help with dark circles under your eyes. However, the reason I only rate this 3 stars is because after I wrapped this gift and gave it to my friend, when she opened it, the mirror was broken. I know it wasn't shipped broken because I checked but the fact that it could break so easily makes me not want to buy this product again.

Pros:
-Sample sizes of products makes it easy to try a lot of Benefit's concealer line
-Cute packaging
-Great size for a gift

Cons:
-Most of the products are just ok
-Too fragile! The mirror breaks really easily
