My Two Cents: Benefit Fake Up Crease-Control Hydrating Concealer

Benefit Fake Up Hydrating Concealer
Price: Php 1300
Where bought: Benefit Greenbelt
The label says: Crease-control hydrating concealer; 
Hides dark circles and diffuses fine lines for a silky smooth ultra-natural look
Fakeup never settles and neither should you! (Agree !!)
My two cents on the Benefit Fake Up crease-control hydrating concealer:
1. Packaging: Beautiful, efficient and sturdy. In its lipstick style with black and pink inscriptions on its silver tube, it looks classy. I find this much easier to apply vs. concealers which require either a doe applicator or brush.  
Silver and pink
Hexagonal box
Beautiful inscriptions
2. Coverage: This will not cover dark under-eye circles or eye bags and it will last longer (est. 4 hours) when properly set with loose powder.
I resolve to sleep and moisturize well so I wouldn't have to spend much on heavy-coverage concealers (the famed Bobbi Brown concealer kit costs about Php 1,900 plus the corrector of about Php 1,300). 

With regard to the dreaded eye bags and dark circles, I will cross the bridge of "sleepless nights" when I get there =) For now, this moisturizer and concealer in one tube will do just fine. 

Ciao loves! 
Inner core: Concealer
Outer: Moisturizer
Concealer in 02 Medium: Make sure to test before you buy
A good amount of product in one tube: Should last me for months (well, let's see) 

Disclaimer: I am not a beauty blogger. I do not recommend or rate products per se. I only share my experiences while using them and the whole thought process behind getting, using, falling in love or hating the product. I leave the beauty blogging to the experts; in fact, I go back to their reviews from time to time though I may not necessarily agree with all of these --- What's good for her may not be necessarily good for me. I am a confessed novice in every way --- I only try to view each experience with "new eyes" and reflect some more on how beauty can be a gift that should be experienced rather than seen. So don't take my word for it --- What works for me may not necessarily work for you --- but go ahead and take that adventure! The risks we take do make our lives interesting. =)
