please don't leave me this way


i am constantly plagued by undereye circles of epic proportions. i am unsure whether it is old age creeping up on me, the lack of an uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep, allergies or just plain genetics.

any way you cut it, i am perpetually what one would refer to as "raccoon eyed".


better than wall-eyed, i suppose, but really not so much.


i have tried all manner of undereye concealers and around 4pm, i discover that they have abandoned me yet again - making me look tired, way beyond my years and looking as if i have pulled an all nighter for the last 3 years in a row.


enter stay don't stray from benefit. touted as an eye area primer to help hold eye shadow and concealers in place, i decide to give it a try.


stay don't stray is the color of undereye concealer and it's creamy nature lends itself to easy undereye blendability. and yet, somehow, stay dont'stray does manage to "bind" my undereye concealer so that it does what it's supposed to do, which is conceal those dark circles, a little bit longer. luckily, stay don't stray is the color of undereye concealer as more than a few times, i have forgotten that i have not added the crucial final step of actual undereye concealer and have gone out with just the stay don't stray, which has done a fine job of playing understudy to my missing undereye concealer.
stay don't stray from benefit is $24 for a .33 fl oz pump bottle. available online at www.benefitcosmetics.com or check your local beauty counter at your favorite store!
