Believable realness, perfect concealness

As the temperature and humidity go up, the amount of makeup I wear goes proportionately down.

Some tinted moisturizer, mascara, blush and lipgloss are about all I can handle. So I’m in favor of anything that can perfect and polish my mimimum makeup look. So I was excited to try Benefit’s Realness of Concealness kit.

I’ve always been a big fan of their High Beam highlighter, and the little vial that came with this kit is probably what convinced me to go for it. I know I’ve lived off a free-sample-with-purchase pot for months. So this mini-lipgloss-like applicator should last even longer and leave me feeling less like a cheap-skate.

The High Beam, Ooh-la-lift and Lip Plump come in these tube-and-want containers for easy, precision application. They’re small enough for easy portability in any clutch. I really like them.

Between the Ooh-la-lift, lemon-aid lid corrector and boi-ing undereye concealer, you can look awake and rested even if the heat kept you up all night (in a good or bad way).

My only wish for this little kit - that it had some Benetint. Then it would really fulfill all my needs for attempting a fresh faced look.

As always, the Benefit packaging also tickles me pink. I love their cute palettes and kits. So, A+ for the big B. (The enefit is implied.)
