Oh my goodness. 

For months the internet has been blowing up and losing their shit over Benefit Cosmetics new, innovative eyeliner. Everyone and their mother was raving about this new, different gel eyeliner.

As a resident beauty junkie, my mouth was salivating over the idea of this new territory that had never been entered before.

Usually a gel eyeliner comes in a pot and you have to use an angled brush to apply it. This causes some messy lines and the possibility of drawing a great cat eye kind of goes down the drain. I've used a few different gel eyeliners but my favorite was by ELF because it was the smoothest I've come across. 

The difference between Benefit's They're Real and every other gel eyeliner is that this eyeliner comes in pen form, with an Accuflex tip that hugs your lash line, giving you the easiest, steadiest line of liner. The Accuflex tip pushes the gel liner up to the top of the pen and allows you to use it as a regular eyeliner. No pots or messy brushes here.

I was patiently awaiting the release of the liner when I woke up one morning and saw on Facebook that there was a 24 hour flash sale on Benefit.com that was allowing you to purchase They're Real a week or so before it was released.

I didn't think twice, or get out of my bed to purchase this. I needed it in my life, mostly because it was new and everyone was bugging out. So no more than 5 minutes after waking up, I had already spent $30 on a new eyeliner and I couldn't care less.

A few days later the eyeliner arrived at my door and I was so excited, I could hardly contain myself.

I tried it out the next day and was only a little bit disappointed because I think I was expecting unicorns to fly out of the pen or something.

I do have to say though, this is the best eyeliner I've ever used. 

It is the blackest black you could ever imagine, the line comes out incredibly straight, it hugs your lash line, the ability to draw a cat eye is AMAZING(this is my favorite part), and the wear is industrialized.

Seriously, I can't take this eyeliner off with just any old make-up remover wipe; I needed some heavy duty eye makeup remover pads and even then, it wasn't enough.

It gets a little taking used too, because the eyeliner dries up really fast and it could be a little more difficult to apply. Using a smooth, gel eyeliner pen is also something to get used too. It's not a regular eyeliner so it's odd to use the pen and the Accuflex tip.

After two times used, it was like I've been using it forever. It's really easy, dramatic, and so smooth. This eyeliner has ruined all other gel eyeliners for me, I'm in love.

Yes, it's a $24 eyeliner but my goodness, They're Real Push Up Liner is eyeliner from the gods.

For the past for months, I've been on the search for the perfect under eye concealer. I've noticed that my under eye area is donned with dark circles that no concealer could cure. 

It was starting to really annoy me because I just wanted to get rid of these circles! I felt that my makeup never looked as good as it could because of the dark circles--it threw everything else off.

I've experimented with different kinds, everything from Sephora to drug store brands but nothing was ever quite good enough or it just stopped working after a while. 

I wanted something that was durable, that would last, and make those dark circles disappear.

A Sephora consultant told me that I needed to find a color corrector which I have looked for but nothing satisfied me.

I have a love affair with Benefit Cosmetics and after receiving some Benefit in my July Birchbox, I decided to take the jump and buy a concealer from them. I read the reviews and scanned the online shops and decided to order the ever popular Erase Paste in shade Medium from the Birchbox shops.

I was anxious to receive it and it came sooner than expected which completely delighted me.

It was a nice size pot of concealer (which as a rather sticky base) along with a little spatula to spoon out the cream. It even comes with a little pamphlet of instructions to tell you the proper ways to apply this concealer. 

I tried it out as soon as I got it and I have to say, it completely changed the way my face looked. It was so strong but very smooth; it was a bit sticky but after a good amount of blending, it was fine. I did still feel it on my face, it felt like I was wearing concealer (it wasn't uncomfortable at all) but if that is the price I have to pay to have dark circles covered, then so be it!

I learned after using this product twice that a little goes a long way and there is no need to use a heaping amount of concealer. 

I'm obsessed with Erase Paste and I don't think I'll ever buy another concealer ever again.

As a little bonus, in my Birchbox, I received a discount code for a deluxe sample of Cha Cha Tint from Benefit. I've been battling with myself on whether or not to try one of these tint products. I am not a lover of liquid blushes or any kind of stains but I thought having a deluxe sample would be a great way to try out if I liked them.

UM...I loved it! The peach color that ChaCha comes in is perfect for the summertime and applying a good amount on my cheeks really brightened my face up, more than any powder blush could've. Liquid blushes and stains are great for summer too because they show up and hold up better than powders.

Altogether, Benefit has amazing products and I will definitely be buying more in the future.
