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.

Everything's better in 3D

Last weekend I signed up for a free bronze makeover at my local Sephora. The makeup was pretty but by the time I went to take pictures the 98 degree weather melted my face...off. I chose the Lorac makeover as it was a brand I had no experience with. Lorac is a great brand but I couldn't justify the price for a 4 eyeshadow palette. However I knew I had to have their Multiplex lip gloss in 3D! Along with 3D I received a goodie bag for coming in which included products from Nars and a mini Lorac 3D mascara. I have a little mascara post that will make an appearance soon.

My cute goodie bag. <3 Mini Benefit perfume, Lorac tinted moisturizer, Mineral foundation, Nars cleanser, Nars shadow pencil, Lorac 3D mascara, and benefit porefessional pore balm.

Swatched on my hand.

3D looks brown in the tube but when applied it's a gorgeous pink/copper duochrome with tons of sparkle. The color is beautiful and the gloss smells tropical. But of course it has that icky gloss texture. I have yet to find a gloss that doesn't have that feeling. This gloss looks beautiful over pink as well, unfortunately no pics but please take my word for it!
