Sorry for the voice, I've been sick for a week now and wanted to get this out for you guys. I tried to edit out all the tea drinking and coughing :-) Enjoy!

Review: Benefit’s new Fake Up Under Eye Concealer


Review: Benefit’s new Fake Up under eye concealer
I have to admit I was really skeptical when this came out. Usually I’m not a fan of benefit cosmetics concealers or foundations, however I had to give this a try. 
Lately my under eye area has been really dry and causing my normal makeup to crease. 
So when benefit says this provides hydration without settling into my fine lines all day and conceals dark circles, I gave it a try. 
I’ve worn it 3 days now and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. I defiantly notice that my under eye is hydrated and it so far has not slipped off all over my face. I do set my makeup with powder in the morning and touch up in the afternoon again with powder.
I like the cool clear gel surrounding the color part of the product. The packaging is adorable as always from benefit. The coverage is light to medium in my opinion with potential to build up, but I tend to use less under my eyes for fear of creasing and caking, 
Over all the product seems to do what it claims, but I’m still not sure I would buy it again yet. I’ll have to use it for awhile longer before I can make up my mind. At $24 from Ulta it’s fairly priced. HIGH-RES

Dupe for Benefit High Beam



Found my dup of Benefit’s high beam! the nyx one is only $7 and I like it in sunbeam, it’s just like the high beam one from benefit.
I feel like the packaging is more sanitary because you squeeze the product out instead of using the brush that comes with high beam like a nail polish container. My high beam always expires before i use it all.
So I’m not sure about the ounces, but you may get more product from benefit’s original, but like I say mine always gets expired or gross before I run out and need to replace it. I also think NYX’s is a little easier to blend on top of foundation for me.
