Sneaky Peek: Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic
I've noticed some of you gabbing about Benefit's forthcoming Confessions of a Concealaholic kit on the forums and as I happen to have one in my posession, I thought you might like a bit of a closer look at it. Not launching here until April, you can buy online from the US Benefit site now for $36 - it's gonna cost us €39.50 of our Eurobux, so if you felt like taking an Internet gamble and chancing your arm and crossing your fingers that you won't get hit for customs, you could buy it for cheaper now.
But what's inside? Pix are after the cut!
The kit is nicely chunky and contains everything you need to prime, hide and improve. But do you need it? Benefit say if you've got more than three concealers in your collection (er, that'll be me, so) then this baby is for you. Confession, girls. I am a Concelaholic!
A mini Erase Paste in a clear glass jar (bravo, I don't like the pink/purple jar it usually comes in at all, distorts the shade) and a 7.3ml That Gal are the two bits, along with a couple of double-ended brushes, that you can remove.

So what else is in there?
- Two shades of Boi-ing concealer are included, to the top is 01
- Boi-ing 02
- Eye Bright - a pink-toned cream to brighten tired-looking eyes and tone down darkness in by the nose
- Lemon Aid - for use on the eyelid, this brightens, hides discolouration and also acts as a shadow primer
- That Gal, Benefit's brightening primer, for use before foundation
- Erase Paste, one of my favourites of their products
- Two mini-brushes, coded so you know what to use them for
There's also a decent-sized mirror in the kit, a glossy booklet which explains each product and how to use them, and a thin plastic sheet to place back over the products for storage, to keep the creams fresh and to cut down on mess.
Whaddya reckon? Will you buy?
