Bourjois: Happy Light Ultra-Covering Concealer (#21 Ivoire)



Hi Ladies... I'm so excited to finally found something from Bourjois that I really love, their Happy Light Ultra-Covering Concealer. But from what I had seen on other beauty blogs this can be quite a hit and miss products for different people, I guess its due to the skin type?! For me its definitely a big hit especially its a 'drugstore' one.

Bourjois: Happy Light Ultra-Covering Concealer (#21 Ivoire) (SGD $16.50) is quite a creamy concealer with a tad bit of peachy under tones which is great for covering up my dark under eye circles.  I don't find that it gets into my fine lines at all, the texture is great to work with and easy to blend. Did I mention that its quite pigmented too?! It works great on covering my blemishes or dark pigmentation that I got from my pimples. Its not cakey looking and looks quite natural on both my under eyes circles or blemishes.


I really got nothing bad to say about this product at all! The price is consider cheap in Singapore if you were to compare with the other brands of concealer here. The only thing that bother me it that they only got 2 shades which not a lot to choose from for so many people with different skin tones. It is a definite must buy if you're can find your suitable shade from just 2 they have.

Happy weekend people!! I'll be back soon!!
XOXO

Revlon PhotoReady Concealer (#002 Light Pale)



Revlon so far is one of the best 'drugstore' brands that produces a lot of great and fabulous products that works well any where in the world I think. I've bought their Revlon Photo Ready Two-Way Powder Foundation (I'll link my review on their powder below) and their concealer and I'm not sure whether I like this concealer a not... Yes a love hate relationship with this little fellow here. 

Revlon PhotoReady Concealer (#002 Light Pale) (SGD $19.90) is a very creamy stick concealer, a quick swipe, blend and go type of concealer. The formula is quite pigmented and blends out nicely but however it is very lack of shades. I went for the lightest because all the rest of their shades looked a tad too dark on me but at least I still could still test it out.

It blends out well and has a solid pigmented formula. It’ll hide dark circles, fine lines, it’ll pretty much conceal any woe you have in and around your eyes and face without a doubt however it will crease and it will cake under the eye area particularly if you suffer from dry, aging eye.

Who might like it better?

  • Younger eyes that aren’t dry (youthful eyes will find this works and comes with a nice budget prices).
  • Those that use concealer on their face (anyone with redness, spots, etc…will find this conceals quite well due to a pigmented formula).
  • Anyone with oily skin (those with oily skin might find this blends and wears more naturally compared to those with drier skin).




My final thoughts? I love it when my eyes isn't that dry and well moisturize and it would have been better if they have a few more shades, but it does work very well for my oily combination skin and stay on very well for a very humid/hot weather like in Singapore. I'm still very undecided for this particular fellow I guess.

What about you?? Have you tried Revlon PhotoReady Concealer? What do you think?

Tarte: Maracuja Creaseless Concealer



Yes yes yes I got to admit I have a thing or two about concealers, always have a problem with my dark under eye circles that I inherit from my dad and that is why I am always excited to try new ones. (I might have enough concealers to last me a life time OopS!)

Tarte just launched their Maracuja Creaseless Concealer not very long ago in Sephora Singapore. The simple, natural and earthy packaging have the same bamboo features like quite a few of their products which is very nice.
Tarte: Maracuja Creaseless Concealer - Light (SGD $39) is a full coverage, waterproof concealer that doesn't flake or cease on me.The texture is very creamy, blendable, liquid concealers that brightens, and is power by Maracuja to help improves skin's texture,tone and moisture content while promoting a brightening dewy luminous finish. This concealer is formulated without :

Parabens. Mineral Oil. Phthalates. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Synthetic Fragrance & is Cruelty Free

A little goes a long way with this concealer, the wear is great with a setting powder on top and last 8 - 12 hours on my oily - combination skin. I almost forgot to mention that the colour range, it is a fairly decent range to choose from but it does feel a bit empty and just hope I would not go through this too quickly.


Have you tried this concealer from Tarte, or do you prefer the Amazionian Clay 12Hour Waterproof Concealer?

YSL Multi-Action Concealer


I have been constantly trying new concealers since I learn about them when I started putting on makeup. I have natural dark eye circles that are inherited from my family.
I came across this YSL Multi-Action Concealer while trying some other new lipsticks in their counter. So naturally I took this opportunity to try something new. Always wanted to try a high-end concealer stick so here is my chance. Needless to say, YSL products are always  beautifully package.


YSL Multi-Action Concealer: Ivory Beige (#1) (SGD $50) consistency is very creamy, smooth and easy to blend. Has a high coverage due to its high pigmentation. Only had 4 colors to choose from, I settled for the lightest with a peachy tone. Their Nude Beige (#2) was a bit too dark for me. The range of colors is not very impressive and I wish that they have a bit more colors to choose from.

I used this more to highlight, I'm really fond that it's creamy,opaque yet it doesn't settle into any fine lines but needs to set with a powder. It last fairly well through out the day and is great that I can just chuck it in my makeup bag to carry it on the go for touch ups because it is so compact. Not the best value for money as it only contains 2grams. Only check this out if you are looking for convenience or your budget allows it. For the price I would't recommend it, when there are a lot of great concealers out there in the market now that is much more pocket friendly.

Have a great day ladies! See you next time for my next post!!
