I honestly love this product, the brightener is by far my favorite!! Only set back is that I've only had it for a little over a month and I've already hit pan!

just okay...
-01.21.13
Quick Take: travel size
This was just okay b/c I still like it even though it didn't live up to the standards the description implies. 1) it makes your skin wicked greasy and makes your eyeliner/mascara like melt off 2) the packaging was handy except i hated the little brush and the picture on the front. It creeeeeeped me out! Some reviews liked it but to me its just a pedophile wanting to put girls makeup on...O.o 3) DO NOT USE ON ACNE 4) it does wear off very easily. but can stay on a bit better when covered with a setting powder. The mirror is nice but My favorite is the highlighting shade for the inside of my eyes...thats really the only thing I use. I would not recommend wasting your money and hopes on this overpriced product.

Quick Take: travel size, cool packaging, rock n roll
I wasn't able to get much pigment out of this. It felt greasy, like was said. Kinda oily feeling. I wanted to love it. The box is so cute and rock n roll. I'm going to keep trying to love it because of the box, maybe I'll turn it into a vitamin holder haaha.

amazing packaging. not too versatile.
-12.26.12
Quick Take: travel size, sheer coverage
I bought this in spite of having read the poor reviews (and knowing what to expect). The formula is quite sheer and creamy so I definitely would not recommend this for anyone who needs heavy coverage around the eyes. The palette is meant to be used around the eyes (though not directly on eyelid since it is too creamy and will cause shadow/liner to crease) and the concealer is too sheer to be used to cover acne, etc. With very light makeup/natural look it doesn't need to be set with powder, but for heavier makeup e.g. smoky eyes it should preferably be set with translucent powder or a matte eyeshadow in a neutral color. I like the packaging and it is a great morning-after pick-up, just don't rely on it if you need a LOT of coverage. I will be keeping this in my purse. The individual covers inside the palette are genius.

But I have a lot of redness and would like to purchase the yellow concealer in larger container. It's a great trio

Quick Take: travel size, 3 great shades, pink is eye brightening
already have Makepup For Ever corrector pallate- but needed something brighter, and benefit had a pink- good for brightening under the eye, especially dark lines. love it...good consistency, not washed away with foundation- for creamier application, I use a little moisturizer. really like it and it works!

Quick Take: perk-up artist from benefit
This product was recommended when I needed some under eye coverage and my favorite Lemon Aid product was out. I found this palette to be too greasy and thin. I will say that the color called "bright" works well for medium and light skin colored faces to add brightness but the other two colors were too thin and barely covered. Anyway, I will stick with the Lemon Aid product.

great idea. cute packaging HORRIBLE product
-12.03.12
Quick Take: travel size
I really liked having a brightener concealer and corrector in one easy to go package's . I was extremely disappointed in the product though. extremely sheer. no coverage at all no matter how you apply. the corrector and concealer worsened the little areas i wanted help with. I would not recommend this to anyone until the formula is changed. has great potential

Disappointed
-11.25.12
Quick Take: offers insufficient coverage
I love Benefit products. I purchased this to replace Confessions of a Concealaholic ( which seems to have been discontinued) but am returning it. The products are sheer and don't offer any real coverage. And the dude on the cover is a jarring graphic to start your day...

Save yourself some money and skip this product. Instead opt for Benefit's Lemonaid and Eyebright pencil.

Great concept, poor products
-11.13.12
Just like the review below, I really loved the concept behind this palette, to house a corrector, brightener, and concealer all in one kit, especially each in its own compact well for added sanitation.........
Unfortunately, the actual product is just BAD. Benefit is known for their stellar products, this one doesn't come close! The product was oily feeling, very thin and completely sheered out no matter how applied, NO coverage. I returned it the next day. I love Benefit products...The Porefessional, Hoola, Boi-ing (to name a few). This one needs to be REFORMULATED because the concept is great!

Great idea just don't like the products
-11.10.12
Quick Take: travel size
I really liked the concept of having one compact that contains products to correct, brighten, and cover, but I just don't like the consistency of this makeup. The yellow correcter felt greasy and actually made my dark circles look ashen and almost more noticeable. I prefer benefits brightening eye pencil over the creamy brightener in this palette. The concealer color just didn't work well for me with my golden skin tone. After a few hours the products just felt like they were sliding off my face- they have an oily consistency. I give it 5 stars for convenience but the quality of the products is only 2.

Awful.
-11.06.12
Quick Take: awful, oily, slick, gross, bad
This, is FAR from the quality I have come to expect from Benefit.
Think about it, Lemon-Aid, is amazing, their concealers are top notch, and the Hello Flawless line has excellent coverage and are very popular.
This little box however is garbage. The consistency is as mentioned before, slick and oily. I thought the yellow shade would be something very similar to Lemon Aid... no way. Its so slick, good luck trying to conceal or correct anything on your eyes. It creases right up. So hmm... tried using it on another area. Around my nostrils to correct some redness... got a zit.
This baby is going back!
Really is too bad because a three color concealer/corrector palette of good quality from Benefit would be a total score!
Oh and to add insult to injury, the packaging is awful! White plastic with a chinsey sticker!? Doesn't feel worth the money.

You guys are doing it wrong!!!
-10.10.12
Quick Take: good value
When I first tried it, it didn't work too well. You dont use it like a normal concealer. You have to PAT it on with the applicator brushes & it really works. I have to wake up early everyday & I am not a morning person. It actually does make me look like I'm wide awake!

Smaller than it looks
-10.04.12
Honestly this thing is tiny. It's more of a sample size than a full sized product. The concealer doesn't really do much. I bought it for underneath my eyes, but the before/after result is pretty much the same. The brighten does not brighten. A cheap white eyeliner works a lot better than this. I would not repurchase this item.

Major disappointment!
-10.03.12
I trully really wanted to love this product, Have heard so many good things about it and decided to give it a go. In my opinion, it does the same job that concealer alone does. tried it two times and really wanted to stick with it and like it but after putting it on one eye and putting concealer alone on the other, the concealer alone gave me far better result at covering my dark circle a lot quicker and without all those steps. It really is a shame.

Not what I expected
-10.03.12
I just purchased this product because I was in love with the concept of covering, concealing, and brightening all in one and I had read great reviews about it. However, after trying it out a few times, I am sad to report that I was unhappy with this product. I am a huge fan of Benefit, but felt like this one missed the mark. The consistency of this product was very sheer, greasy, and oily not creamy as I expected/hoped. Once I put it on, it seemed to cause my eyeliner and foundation around my eyes to smear. Even when covering with powder, it left a oily consistency. Although I was not happy with this particular product I still love benefit- especially their blushes, play stix, and porefessional!

Quick Take: good value, travel size, brightening
I love this product! It works great to minimize under eye circles after a long night at work, and the highlighter is amazing at making my eyes look big and bright and I even use it under my face highlighter as a base on my cheek bones and bridge of my nose. The only complaint I might have is that it goes on a little shiny, so if you're looking for a matte look you have to put powder over these products. Otherwise the colors are really mixable and blend really well on my face.
