So this week I want to do a series of posts on concealers. Sound good? I recently started using concealer on an almost-daily-basis because I never really had the need to... until now... I say almost-daily because there are days that I rather sleep in than to do my make-up. Sometimes I wake up and my undereyes look normal and some days I wake up and my eyes be looking like crap HAHA let's me honest now, no need for lying pretending like we wake up looking glam >.<
Most of the concealers that I'll be talking about I've had for quite a while so I have actually used them more than once and for short/long periods of time.
I'll be rating each of these from 1-10 on overall performance, 10 being the best.

Let's start today with the Benefit Boi ing concealer. The one I have is actually a travel size, $12 at Ulta, because I wanted to try it out before I invested $20+ on it. The travel size also comes with the Benefit Lemon Aid correcting cream, so I figured it was a better deal. Anyway, I have a previous post on this concealer but i've had plenty of time to use it since I wrote the other review so here's what I think about it a year and a half later. This concealer is superrr smooth and easy to apply. I apply it on to my undereyes with my finger and then I blend it out with my beauty blender sponge. I really like the product but I can say it's definitely not my favorite. It goes on smooth and looks nice but it does crease after a couple of hours. The coverage is OK. I'll say it is medium coverage and you can build up the coverage but that will just make it crease sooner.
RATING: 5
I definitely recommend this product for a quick and natural day look to run errands or hang out with your gals but definitely not for a night out in town.
