The Balm Time Balm Concealer ~ Lighter then light VS Benefit Boi-ing Concealer ~ 01 light




I've been using the balm for a week and a half. and boi-ing for 6 months.

Time balm comes in a small lip balm pot of .26 oz and Boi-ing is 0.1 oz
 Boi-ing's pot is wider but flatter, which is nice and lets you put a brush in it.

The balm is a little bit drier and is a beewax formulation ( better for acne skin)
Boi-ing is creamier as it has mineral oil in it  ( I didn't notice any breakouts from the mineral oil but I did put it on  grapeseed oil/ hempseed oil and smashbox primer before use)

The time balm lasts longer then Boi-ing if your doing activity
The balm is 18.00 and boi-ing is 20.00

Time balm you can layer on without it looking cakey
Boi-ing being so smooth with the oil you have to put setting spray between layers so it stays so you can't really layer that well.

Boi-ing  is smoother putting around your eyes but creases more throughout the day
The balm you have to blend in more and apply smaller amounts at first since its drier.

I feel like Time balm does a better all job of hiding my acne as it stays better and has the ability to layer
All in all I really enjoyed the balm and will be switching from boi-ing as the price is better and their product works just as good and it has less of a chance to give me a break out and that always a plus!
