Review: Benefit Erase Paste

Erase Paste in medium
Cost: $26
I'm back yay!! So I got a lot of request on sharing my thoughts of my Benefit Erase Paste and here it is. I did a great deal of research before I bought this product. There was many mixed reviews on this product either they hated it or it was O.k and there was one or two "I love this product". After I saw how many people hated it I still bought it anyways lol, and I say I fall into the "Its O.K but I'm still going to use it because it kind of works" category. It's a little thick and very creamy. I use this under my Studio Sculpt NW 25 Concealer to help with my dark circles. The way I apply it is I put a good amount below my dark circles with a concealer brush then dampen a sponge and start blending it upwards. The coverage is slightly full but not completely. I have some pretty dark circle so someone with minor circles would like this product more I believe. Also keep in mind the color of these are pinky peachy colors so treat it as a corrector not a concealer. After I have applied my concealer over my erase paste I set it with a translucent powder. So all in all this is a pretty good product for me. I'm not dissapointed but I don't think I'll be buying it again. If you ever read my other reviews and post I love to try knew products so I may try Laura Merciers conceal camoflauge or bobbi browns corrector.

Past.. Present.. Future


Oh guys it has been a long time. I'm still on vacation right now and I have a little time to update you guys on whats going on. I haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately because I'll forget and put my camera at the house or something. =( Something interesting is that I actually went to a psychic for the first time yesterday. I went in expecting really nothing. I was waiting for her to bullshit away but she was pretty accurate on everything she said it freaked me out. So I sit down and she tells me to shuffle the tarot cards and while I do that she's reading my 'energy'. I'm still shuffling and then she said two guys are in love with me, one that lives near me and one that lives a far. My eyes were getting so watery omg lol. I knew exactly what she was talking about which was scary. But she then said the guy from a far is my soulmate and the guy near me will be very heartbroken because I didn't choose him. Which I am ok with because I am never liked him anyways just as a friend. Pretty much all the tarot cards were about my bf and how he's so in love with me and I'm like come on get to the juicy stuff haha. Then she said I have a lot of plans before I can truly be with him and then she asked me why am I making him wait so long. And of course that's true since I'll be moving to Cali and be doing my makeup thing before I can move to Houston to be with him. hmm and Oh geeze she said she is truly afraid for me because if I'm not careful I will have a baby soon. She begged me to wear protection lol and when he went in she begged him to be careful too lol and she didn't know we were together because I told him not to touch me or act like hes my bf. I will end up with about 4 children which I have no idea how my body can take that =/ ahha ok until next time.. Bye guys

Missing Blogger

A little story about us
Hey guys! I may not be blogging as often because I'll be on vacation visiting my boyfriend for a little over a week. I've been together with him ever since I was 15 and we've always had a long distance relationship which some think is crazy as hell. So this is how we met. My best friend lives down the street from me and she said her cousins were in town and I was like ok well I want to come over and meet them. So I went over to her house and saw this guy (bf) and thought "ooohh this guys hot." So I started talking online with him and we just hit it off BUT he had a girlfriend! Yes and I didn't know he had one and he was pretty much playing both of us. So I was like F that get away haha. Well of course he came down the next summer and I couldn't resist my self. I made him cheat on his girlfriend! lol (we just kissed you nasty minds) and in the end he chose me over his girlfriend of 1 year. It still makes me giggle little today =) Oh and she found out about me in the middle of their relationship and I was like what BIAAA. It blows my mind that he chose a girl in a totally different state (ME!). So yeah this long distance crap sucks I haven't seen him since Thanks giving but it's fun to get those tingles when you get off the plane, got to keep that fire burning in your relationship you know hehe. I do plan on moving to Houston in two years maybe I have to take care of my passion for makeup first and move to California and get the right schooling ya know what I mean. So yeah if you read all of this your awesome. If you didn't your awesome too.
p.s I'll try to post pictures of me out and about while I'm there hopefully

Q&A: Prom look

Q::Hii amanda, my prom is in a month so i wanted to practice so makeup looks..my dress is greenish/yellowish/goldish. So i was wondering if you could make a look for this colours? x Thank You and if you can, can you post some nice prom hairstyles?


As I thought about what I was going to do, I thought why not go the neutral route but with a little umph with a smoked out brown liner. I was going to do a look with the colors on your dress but I don't think you want to be so matchy matchy. I think the best thing is to have a nice glowy bronzed face that just brings out the dress.


A picture of some of the important products, I didn't take a picture of all of the products I used.

Clean and clear Advantage moisturizer
Smashbox light primer

As you already know you can google prom hairstyles (thats what I did) but I picked out the ones I liked the most. I didn't know how long your hair was so Ichose ones with different hair lengths. I think if your showing a lot of neck and cleavage then hair down. If your dress is showing a little then hair up. Just my opinion though. My hairstyle I had was all over loose curls with side bangs straight and then teased at the crown. The hairstyle I did for my friend I teased around her crown first then did loose curls and brought all her hair to one side and pinned the back so it would stay. Click the Prom label to see it.
Hope you have a lovely prom experience =)
