Product Review - Boi-ing Concealer


I have been using Benefit’s Boi-ing Concealer in the lightest shade (01) for just over a month now and I figured; since my blog had been abandoned for a while I just HAD to write a review for it. I am a big fan of Benefit products, so when I thought about switching my concealer I immediately wanted to try one from their range. I looked into Boi-ing and felt almost reassured as the packaging said it was an ‘industrial strength concealer’ which gave me hope that it would manage to cover my black panda eyes. This gave me the confidence to buy the product as I felt it would live up to its description and boy was I right!

To begin with I was sooo skeptical with whether or not to buy this product. Firstly, I’d heard so many different opinions about this concealer varying from how brilliant it was for dark circles (which are the bane of my life) to how it only worked on blemishes and wasn't that great, was hard to work with etc. These reviews were really off putting, as I didn't want to buy something which wouldn't work on all the problem areas on my face (who would?!). The price was also an issue, I just couldn't bring myself to make the purchase in case I didn't like it and then it would have been a complete waste of money; which could have been spent better elsewhere on a pretty new lipstick or something.

However in the end a friend made me pluck the courage to try it out and now... well, I've sorta fell in love with Boi-ing...


I personally have quite oily skin and I have found that this concealer just glides on perfectly underneath my eyes (which I have read and seen by other reviews that this has been a problem area for most.) I also found that as it wasn't too creamy, it didn't leave little wrinkles underneath my eye, which I have had problems with from previous concealers.  

Boi-ing really does exactly what is said on the packaging and I am definitely happy I was brave enough to purchase it and I am pretty annoyed with myself that I didn't buy it sooner! It is definitely a must-have!
