Hello everybody! I am officially 26 today, and if you are, too, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ;D
I love to celebrate happy occasions, and today is obviously one of the happiest days of 2011!
I thus have an important announcement to make.

To thank you (yet again) for all your lovely support, and to spread the joy of turning yet another year older, I am giving away one Benefit Cosmetics Confessions of a Concealaholic kit! Yes, this is an international giveaway, so my friends from all over the world, please join in the fun! And no, this is not a sponsored giveaway; the prize was purchased by yours truly, just for you! :)
Beneholics, rejoice! ;) Confessions of a Concealaholic is so great for those of you who would like to try out several of Benefit’s star products without having to purchase full sizes.
Marketed as a concealing and brightening kit, it contains:
- “That Gal” brightening face primer (7.5ml 0.25 US fl. oz),
- Boi-ing industrial strength concealer in 2 shades (01, 02) for custom concealing (2 x 1.3g Net wt. 2 x 0.04 oz),
- Erase Paste (02 Medium) brightening camouflage for eyes and face (3.2g Net wt. 0.11 oz.),
- Lemon Aid color correcting eyelid primer (0.9g Net wt. 0.03 oz),
- Eye Bright instant eye brightener (0.9g Net wt. 0.03 oz),
- concealer brushes, and
- a step-by-step lesson.
I’m sure most of you would have read my reviews on Erase Paste and Eye Bright by now. I also have That Gal and Boi-ing in my makeup bag, but have not reviewed them. So many products to review, so little time! ;)
Since most of us have very little time to spare on our faces (especially in the mornings!), this darling little kit is perfect – conceal and brighten wherever you want! Just tote it about… no one will know it’s a makeup palette. It looks like a book!
Okay, so my only gripe with this kit is that the Erase Paste comes in 02 Medium, which is a shade darker than my usual 01 Fair. But, you know what? Most people I know wear 02 Medium, so I guess that’s why Benefit put that in the kit. On the bright side, there are two shades of Boi-ing in there for custom blending. It’s a really useful (and stunning!) kit; I can imagine how much you will adore it! Be on your way to looking picture-perfect with Confessions of a Concealaholic.
So, how exactly do you win this awesome kit?
Since I’ve just turned 26, I’m going to let this giveaway run for exactly 26 days (including today). Which means this giveaway closes on… 14 September 2011. :)

Hi Anne,
I can’t access this link. It may be easier for you to keep all of your screenshots and send me an email consolidating everything at the end of the giveaway, instead of commenting each time you share about this giveaway.
