Another Benefit review coming up. Benefit's Lemon aid is a colour correcting eyelid primer and retails for about $23 CAD. This is a lemon yellow cream that you apply on your eyelids to conceal any redness or veins, making your eyes look young and refreshed. I wouldn't have normally bought this since it is quite expensive, but I had some amazon gift cards that I redeemed for through swagbucks (if you have any questions about swagbucks please ask below) and I order makeup off there for time to time, cause the prices are good, I paid $13 for this plus shipping. The packaging is really cute, very sturdy and I like the mirror inside. You get 2.70g Net wt. 0.09 in the product. You only a small amount and even if you did use this everyday, it would last you a long time.
If you have discolouration or noticeable veins that you want to cover up, this product is good for that. It looks scary at first, being yellow, but it neutralizes well and gives you a nice flat base to work with. You can wear this with or without shadows. I was hoping to wear this w/o eyeshadow however, it disappointed with that. It creased as you can tell in the image above! I find that if I wear eyeshadow you normally can't notice any veins or whatever on my lids so there is no point for this.
In terms of acting as an eyelid primer, I wouldn't suggest getting this as a eyelid primer, there are better products out there. But, I haven't really tired out that feature to be honest, it would be a great product if it would double up as a primer and corrector though. I was more interested in the colour correcting feature, as I have primers already. I like applying this under the eyebrow, that's where my veining is, so I like it for there. And it did a good job, as you can tell in the picture, less brown-ness around the eyebrow. I like applying it on the lids, where the brown-ness can be. However, you could probably use ANY yellow based concealer and get the same effect that this lemonade does. I like the thin texture of this, but I would not repurchase it because other products could do the exact same job.
