Empty :: Benefit's Fake Up

Well, there goes the very last of my concealer.

I somehow managed to destroy this sample the first time I tried to use it. I also somehow managed to use almost all of it anyways. "Impressed" is an understatement for the feelings I have toward Benefit's Fake Up, considering it was my first successful use of concealer in general and also my first introduction to the Benefit line.

Overall, I'm excited to try more Benefit products in the future. I'm not going to purchase a replacement for Fake Up at this time, because I need to reach out for more experience with other products, starting at the drugstore, now that I think I've got a handle on how this whole concealing thing works. This doesn't mean that I won't be back someday. Other concealers have got some big shoes to fill.

Cut :: Laqa & Co Lip Lube

I'm cutting this product from my lip collection. I've tried it numerous times, and it's just not working for me.

The primary reason is the color. I don't think this bright peach color suits my olive-based skin tone, and it's a little too intense for my style.

The secondary reason is the texture. It feels a little too much like lip balm, which is great for moisturization, but not so great when it doesn't seem to set evenly.

Although I love the packaging, including the twist up bottom and the minty scent & flavor, this product just doesn't suit my current lifestyle. I have a feeling my little sister will love it, though.
