Eye love to conceal - REVIEWS

 

Hey everyone, it's been a busy week but I'm back on track ! This mass review will be on concealers! Personally, the one make up item that I must have on is probably something to cover my dark circles and I'm good to go. **Warning text & picture heavy**

Review from left -> right :)

 

 Product: e.l.f. Studio Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter [light/glow] (5g/17oz)

Bought from: www.eyeslipsface.com
Price: $3
Pros: Easy to apply, very liquidity, and it contains no scent what so ever.
Cons: The coverage on this concealer is rather sheer, if you try to build up the product it will definitely look cakey. This product settles in your fine lines in about 5minutes after application, and the lasting power is only for 3-4hrs.
Thoughts: Would NOT recommend it. For the highlighter on the other side, I don't really care for ( it just comes out clear with glitter).

Product: Smashbox High definition concealer [fair] (0.27fl.oz./8ml)
Bought from: Sephora
Price: $18
Pros: Medium coverage, lasts 7-8hrs
Cons: Smells bad, since the product is in a liquid form it leaks in the cap and around the tube hole which wastes a lot of product.
Thoughts: Not moisturizing enough for under the eyes, but as a spot concealer it’s okay.

Product: Garnier Skin Renew anti-dark circle roller [sheer tint] (15ml)
Bought from: Shoppers drug-mart
Price: $16.79
Pros: light weight, not drying under the eyes, 8hrs lasting power, and has a nice cooling effect.
Cons: Haven’t seen any reduction of the darkness under my eyes, sheer coverage
Thoughts: This product is very easy to use and blend in, I like using this product on a daily bases going to school and running errands. After the product has been placed under the eyes it dries to sort of a matte finish but not drying. As for repurchase, maybe only if I see results if not I want to try the original green tube :p.

 

Product: Conceal FX Camouflage concealer [light] (15ml/0.5fl oz)

Bought from: Shoppers drug-mart
Price: $27
Pros: Heavy coverage, long lasting 8hrs +
Cons: SMELLS REALLY BAD, like Chinese herbs or something really gross. It claims to be water proof but since I have watery eyes, when water touches the concealer it turns into a milky substance which is NOT GOOD. Quite thick, not light weight as it claims to be.
Thoughts: I would not repurchase this ever again.  

 

Product: e.l.f. tone correcting concealer [light beige]

Bought from: www.eyeslipsface.com
Price: $1
Pros: Light- medium coverage, easy to apply, very creamy and moisturizing
Cons: Has an orange scent which is very weird, but you don’t smell it after 5minutes or so,
Thoughts: I have used this product for a good 10-11 months and used in total of 4 tubes. The only reason for that is because it’s very affordable and I don't find it drying under the eye area. 

 

Product: Olay regenerist eye touch of concealer eye regenerating cream (7ml)

Bought from: I don’t know my mom got it for me
Price: unknown
Pros: hydrating, easy to blend
Cons: not long lasting only 2-3hrs, I believe there is only 1 shade and it’s a bit dark but I do enjoy using it during the summer time, a bit sheer
Thoughts: It’s an alright 

Product: Maybelline Dream mousse concealer [Ivory Light 2-3,5] (3g)
Bought from: Shoppers drug-mart
Price: $6
Pros: Medium ~ Heavy coverage, applies smoothly, perfect for blemishes.
Cons: Not recommended for dry skin. its drying.
Thoughts: I like this product for the summer time since my under eyes isn’t super dry like in the winter. This product unfortunately is discontinued.

Last but not least just so you guys can get an idea how dark my under eye circles are and how these products work on me here is a picture of my eyes :D

Hopefully you ladies found this helpful!! Also please tell me your favorite concealer so I can check it out :D

Cheers Deb.

Tuesday Splurge

Shopping is definitely one of my guilty pleasure, aside from eating delicious unhealthy food of course :). So, I stopped at Shoppers Drug Mart one of my all time favorite stores and bought two things on my wish-list and a impulse purchase (Darn, sales lady).


Garnier Eye Roller (In sheer tint) $16.79

I’ve been wanting this product for so long but never got around purchasing it due to the price any who I finally OWN it :).

Vichy Normaderm Set $29.95
I’d thought I’ll give this trio a try since my Biore cleanser was running low and I’ve read many positive reviews it seems like a miracle worker. 

Cover FX Concealer  (In light) $27.00  
The beauty counter lady somehow talked me into purchasing this product.. but my initial reaction was love. Hopefully I won’t regret it later. 

I would like to say this shopping trip was quite a success, but it did hurt my wallet quite a bit. Since when it comes to shopping I’m always out on the look out for bargains. Have you guys tried any of these products? or know of any cheaper alternatives?  

Cheers Deb
