Time Balm

My under eye circles were getting to me. Not to mention the red in my cheeks from my slight case of rosacea, thanks dad! So I finally decided a concealer was needed. I typically just wear Loreal True Match Naturale in Nude Beige as I live in Florida and don't like heavy makeup. I had been considering Benefit's Erase Paste but for a little jar I wasn't fond of spending $26. I had only heard a few reviews on The Balm's Time Balm concealer, which looks similar to Erase Paste in my opinion. For a cheap(er) $18 and Ebates at my side I was sold.

The left is with Eco Tools concealer brush, right with the included sponge.

I love this this concealer! I definitely made a great choice. It's light but covers perfectly. Red spots, under eye circles, freckles, etc are taken care of. The next few makeup posts will have me using this concealer and it's really made a difference. I no longer look tired!lol. On another note when I purchased Time Balm on Sephora I went through Ebates. Time Balm is the only item I paid for. I chose Benefits new They're Real mascara with my 100 point perks, 3 perfume samples, and a discount code on Ebates allowed me to get a free Benefit makeup case! Plus I got money back, not a lot, but all money is good money these days.

Ebates

I just wanted to do a quick update about Ebates. You may have noticed that I added an Ebates button on my side bar. That's because I've been trying it out and I love it! You just make an account with them, it's free. Not all online shops are connected with Ebates but you can always double check. Certain online shops allow Ebates to give you back a percentage of the money you spend! You can also find coupons. All you do is start your browsing on Ebates and pick the store you want to shop from there. On my first attempt I purchased The Balm Time Bomb concealer from Sephora. This is the only item I paid for! I was able to get a coupon from Ebates to get a free make up bag from Benefit, my 3 free samples, and used 100 beauty points to get the new Benefit They're Real Mascara! I know it isn't much but combined with all that I also got back $1.44. Now if you do a lot of shopping online that money is going to add up. So if you have the time check out the website and see if it's something you want to experience. If you click on my links or the button on my sidebar it will link me as the referrer and I do get bonuses on my account. You can have the same advantages when you make an account and refer your friends too! Also during the holidays the website tends to giveaway an added percentage allowing you to get more money back.
