Tired of resembling an NFL linebacker, I decided it was time to invest in a high end, quality concealer. Last week, my raccoon eyes and I stopped by Sephora, determined to find the answer to my dark circle prayers. After countless moments of indecisiveness, I reluctantly departed, Benefit's Boi-ing Concealer in hand. (My wishy washy behind suffers from buyer's remorse like nobody's business. LOL!) Fortunately, the trip turned out to be a success!
[My under eye circles before Boi-ing came into my life.]
[How cute is the message on the inside of the box?]
[Benefit's Boi-ing 02 Medium. Is it just me, or does "Boi-ing" sound like a phrase straight out of Wayne's World? Ha!]
My thoughts on this concealer?
PROS: The consistency is creamy, rich, and a breeze to work with. Simply pick up a little bit of the product with your index or ring finger, and gently pat your imperfections away. Because the concealer is extremely thick and opaque, one or two swipes is all you'll need per eye. It works beautifully on my under eye circles; it works even better on blemishes and areas of discoloration. The $18.00 investment was worth it.
CONS: The price. Yes, I said the concealer was worth it, but $18.00 is still $18.00. Also, the product occasionally settles into my fine lines, exaggerating them a bit.
I am pleased to announce that I have finally found the peach gloss of my dreams.
[Buxom Lip Polish in Amber]
Buxom Lip Polishes are hands down my favorite glosses. They're shiny, moisturizing, and have awesome staying power. (Check out my previous post for a more thorough review of this line.) Amber is a sheer - but buildable - shimmery peach shade. It looks especially pretty when paired with Myth or Nude Attitude. I love it!
[Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a decent photograph of the gloss on my pout. This other blogger's picture is a great representation of what Amber looks like IRL. Photo Credit: http://www.orange2la.com.]
[Nude Attitude photo from an early Kate Gene post. Yep, this is my kisser!]
Can you picture the two products together? It's the hotness.

In my Gift Card Haulin' post, I raved about Essie's Van D'Go Polish. Here is what it looks like once applied:
Gaw-juss!
