Benefit Erase-a-paste

I am a huge BeneFit cosmetics fan, I love their products and the fact they are all so individual and creative. They are also very good and worth the money having a bit of quirkiness to the brand. I lately decided that after the amount of under eye concealers I had gone through I needed to find one that actually worked. I do like Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat but it just didn't cover the shadows enough and then Clinique's Airbrush also just didn't stay on long enough and being at work I needed a long lasting effect. I went to my nearest BeneFit counter to get advice from the people who know the brand best, she recommended Erase Paste to me and then applied it and ...  Read the complete review

Here I am writing another review for an undereye concealer. That says something in itself really; either my dark circles are incredibly bad or I'm just incredibly hard to please when it comes to these types of products. I think (and hope!) it's the latter since I always seem to find myself browsing through my local department stores trying to find a new concealer to test out - even if I'm happy enough with the one I'm wearing. Benefit's concealers - and products in generall really - never seem to let me down so I was more than happy to shell out the £18.50 or so for their newest concealer "Erase Paste". Marketed as a 'brightening camouflage for eyes ...  Read the complete review

Why did I buy? I love Benefit products. They have great packaging, great names, and usually they are great too. I do think that buying Benefit is essentially buying into an image - but the bonus is the products generally work. I needed a new concealer and I had seen this one on How to Look Good Naked where it got some good reviews. Also I've use Boing before and found it to be very good - I thought as a new product this would be the best thing since sliced bread. Colour? I bought the lighter version - I am fairly pale and it worked very well, it blends with my skin tone perfectly. Not sure how it would be on the very pale ...  Read the complete review

First thing's first, I would just like to point out that this product is called Erase Paste and not Erase-a-Paste as is written above. I've checked the box mine came in and the Benefit website, so I'm pretty sure I'm right. Anyway, as someone who suffers from dark circles under my eyes, I am always on the lookout for something to cover them. I use YSL Touch Eclat and that succeeds in brightening the area, but I was looking for a more intense cover up. I must admit I have never really had much luck with Benefit make-up. It's a brand I really want to love with it's kitsch packaging and fun names, however the reality is that my overall experiences have been quite ...  Read the complete review

One of the more normal sounding Benefit products, Erase Paste is a heavy duty concealer for camouflaging facial imperfections. When I get spots they tend to be quite sore and due to my pale skin tone leave me with red scars for a while which isn't very attractive to say the least. I tried this out to see if it would solve my problem. The price of this is extortionate, £18.50 for a 4.40 gram pot! I almost choked on my chewing gum! Being reassured by the sales assistant that it was a miracle in a pot, and feeling rather flush that month, I bought Shade 1 (the lightest shade of this product, as always)! Having already tried the Benefit Boing concealer ...  Read the complete review
