Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic is a all-around concealer kit that contains notable Benefit products such as the "That Gal" brightening face primer, the Erase Paste brightening camouflage, two shades of the Boi-ing industrial strength concealer, the Lemon Aid color correcting eyelid primer, and the Eye Bright instant eye brightener. It also comes with an instruction guide and two double ended brushes for Boi-ing, Erase Paste, Eye Bright and Lemon Aid.
I asked my aunt to buy me this kit from Sephora last June, but I only started using the product this month. I use this everyday now because it has lots of the stuff I use in the morning: under eye concealer, blemish concealer and eye primer. Convenient, right?

"That Gal" Face Primer
I'm thinking of doing a separate review for this. Watch out for that!
FYI: I'm starting to really love this product!
Erase Paste in Medium 02
The kit comes with a small pot of the Benefit Erase Paste (Medium 02), a concealer for hiding dark circles. Although Benefit says that Medium 02 is their most versatile shade, I found it way too light for my skin the first time I used it. I also didn't like its pink undertone because I was worried that it would make my eyes look rather tired. Another downside to this concealer is its sticky formulation. To make Medium 02 blend into my skin, I dab the product instead of sweeping my finger. The sticky formulation makes blending a lot more challenging than it should be. Lastly, since this product is not that creamy, it tends to crease a bit right after application. I just let it sit and let my skin warm it up.
Sadly, the only good thing I can say about this product is the reasonable coverage it gives. Will I buy this product individually when I run out of it? Nope. I'm using this product everyday because I want to use it all up already. I really want to try a new under eye concealer, but not until I've finished this. I don't want to waste.
Boi-ing in 01 and 02
How I wish this came in a pot like the Erase Paste! I absolutely love the Boi-ing concealer! The product is smooth and creamy, making application and blending a breeze. The thing I love the most about this concealer is that I don't have to pack on a lot of product to cover my blemishes and discolorations, and when I do pack on a lot, it never looks that caked on.
Will I buy this product individually when I run out of it? Absolutely! I think I found my holy grail concealer.
Eye Bright
Eye Bright is used to brighten the inner corners of the eyes (the tear ducts) to make you look more awake. This product really does brighten your eyes. No problem there. My only concern is the product formulation. It feels rather dry when you swatch it with your finger.
Will I buy this product individually when I run out of it? This is too much of a luxury. My light eyeshadow shades will do.
Lemon Aid eyelid primer
The product is really creamy and smooth, but when you blend it on your eyelids, it tends to leave a powdery finish. This is definitely no Urban Decay Primer Potion, but it works as a good color base.
Will I buy this product individually when I run out of it? Nope.

The brushes leave some streaks. I'm not a fan. When I asked Erika about 'em she advised me to use my fingers instead. I recommend the same thing because some products have to be warmed up, like Erase Paste, Eye Bright and Lemon Aid.
I RECOMMEND...
I recommend this product to people who want to start using Benefit products but don't know what to get. This palette is packed with best sellers. Most of the stuff work great. You can't go wrong (except for Erase Paste lol)!
