Benefit from Benefit *wink*

This marks of the start of my beauty blog, kind of excited and all though.

I will be talking about my recent love that I am infatuated deeply with.

To further ado, *claps like crazy* the:
Benefit’s Stay Don’t Stray 360-degrees Concealer and Eye Shadow Primer

My lovely kitty posing with my current bottle of Stay Don't Stray with my spares to last me through war. 

The beige colour tone of the product on my hand before blending, you will definitely need lesser than this during actual application. Please pardon my ugly hand q_q

Now you see it now you don't, this is just how well it blends in to my skin.

My usual no makeup look for work, using the Stay Don't Stray primer with concealer and the two way foundation. Pardon my messy hair as I took this picture after work to show how long it lasted me. 

By the way, i am working as a landscape designer, constantly subjected to exposure of sun and the suffering heat. Thus trust me, it really works!

Light makeup application for another one of my days as I have an gathering in the later part of the day, only to reach home at about 10pm and to my surprise it still as vibrant.

Madly in love with the minimal fading of my makeup though I had applied it during the day at about 7am and have not done any touch ups on my eye makeup.

Pros
• Comes in beige skin tone thus provides extra coverage for my eye rings.

• As it is a 360-degree formula, I no longer require an individual primer for the eyelids and under eye respectively.

• A little amount of the product is sufficient for it to work.

• Helps create a smooth palette for me to work on.

• Eye shadow shows up more intensively.

Long lasting, from morning till the evening with no creasing.
 
• Eye shadows applied still look fabulous even after a whole day working on site aka. Constant sweating and under the sun.

Cons
• Priced at $47.00 dollars for a 10.0ml bottle. A little expensive through you only need a little for each application. An investment I must say.

• Packaging can be improved, graphics not attractive enough for people to pick it up.

• Constantly need to press the pump gently, disasters happens when I am on the rush to work at times.

Comments
Really love the texture of the product, easy to use and blend. I can use my fingers to blend and still achieve a smooth finish. With this I no longer need to touch up my eye make up for the entire day. I also use it for covering the redness which I have under my nose, works really well too. No weird smell or overpowering fragrance too, which is a plus point.

For those who wants a no makeup look which I usually don. You can use the Stay Don’t Stray follow by your concealer and then powder foundation/finishing powder to have a ‘nude’ look.

Remember to moisturize your face before application so that the product will simply glide on your face and not appear patchy.

My Verdict
9.5 out of 10 stars for its highly effective outcome.

Will I buy it again?
ABSOLUTELY YES!!
Girls go to your nearest Benefit counters located at Tangs or at Sephora to give it a try, I guarantee make up would be more of a breeze for you.

That's the end of my review, till next time ^_^
