Benefit's Erase Paste Review:

http://musemedia.blogspot.com/2008/03/benefit-erase-paste-review.html


after reading that, I will def be willing to buy: I like thicker formulas, and although I don't need TOO much for the eye area [unless Im stress riddled like last week, fuckin ew], I think its useful for those with oily/combo skin, that don't experience too much dryness.

thoughts? opinions? discuss it here.

SORRY. thought I was in PR section: how lame of me! Mod, plz move this ASAP.

Oki Doki Puffyoki.

Hmmm. Being someone who suffers from a lot of dryness in the cheek and eye area, I wouldn't go out of my way for this. If it's US$26, well, you can get a pot of Kryolan Dermacolour for far less than that, and that shit is crazy pigmented, and not at all drying (I've had so much of this slapped on me, I should know).

That was a good review, though. It'll be interesting to see how it works on you, Puffypuff.

yes, thing is, kryolan isn't readily available here. I could stand to use something that's slightly drying, since my skin is oily in the middle, and dry everywhere else. I think it would be nice to try!

Just be careful with things that dry out your skin. If it gets too dry, which skin sometimes can do really quickly and sometimes for no reason, you actually end up producing MORE oil. If that stuff is drying, its probably not good for day to day use.

Benefit is usually really good though. Perhaps before you buy it, go a store and sample it first. Thats how I buy a lot of makeup. If I'm at the mall and am considering something, I'll put it on and if I still like it at the end of the day I will go back and buy it.

And I know I'm still the only person in the world that uses this...but I less than three my Cinema Secrets still.

your cinema secrets will never fail you, dearest. n.n

the drying factor doesn't bother me, I keep my skin moisturized pretty damn well. I'm lemming for that elizabeth arden foundation like crazy, though...SO many great reviews. mmph.

Ooooh Elizabeth arden foundation, that sounds fantastic!

oh yeah, its a brand new one. Ive seen some before and after photos of some pretty grody ladies, and its pretty much a miracle in a bottle. plus, they're giving away travel sized bottles when you buy a regular size...I think this calls for a trip to dillards.

i don't wanna be a bublle burster but bare in mind those pics are probably shooped

oh no, they're like from average run of the mill blogger ladies. not stuff on the actually EA website.

ohhh ok then

awesome

yeahh I never trust pics from the actual site, they're ALWAYS shopped. Ive seen women that are two toned, have red blotchy cheeks, and sallow tones. with this foundation, they looked like...tonnes better. as if they were just born flawless. I'm so lusting for it.

I have a friend from school that works at the EA counter and she absolutly loves that foundation.

*dies*

we have an EA counter here, too. I think I'll be hunting this down in a week or two. n.n

I WANT to use it but the only place I can get it is on Ebay and the seller only ships to USA! : ' (
