[Review] LA Girl Pro HD Concealer/ Corrector In Natural

Hi Lovelies :)

This is a review post of one of the concealer that I have,
I love this second after my Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer. haha

I mainly use this concealer for my dark circles because I think it works best there but I've tried it on my blemishes as well. It was so so for me ( I can't put my finger on why)

 

Took a picture straight away after receiving it in the mail! gyahh hahaha

 

Pigmentation

Wrist Swatch

Ahh So nice to have natural lighting :3

 

Really good, it covers with very little product so you don't have to keep building it up to get the coverage you want. I chose natural because I thought it would be quite similar to my skin tone but it was actually a teeny bit lighter so that's why I use it mainly under my eyes. For that brightening effect la~ hahaha

Lasting Power

It lasted very well but touch ups might be needed if you're sweating a lot in the day. I did notice some of the product disappearing but not much. Especially if you set it with powder beforehand. ;)
Be sure to moisturise the area you apply this concealer well because it can get a bit drying and exaggerate your dry skin (Ah maybe that's why) . Small price to pay for lasting power no?

Purchase 

I got this concealer from an Instagram shop called aliceandcloud for RM25.00 :) Be sure to check them out because they have many other good products too and brushes! Beautiful brushes. Haven't bought any of the brushes because I don't use that much but if I need to, then I would probably get it from them.

Thanks for reading and I hope you find this helpful 

Cheers :)xx

[Review] Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer in 02 Natural

Hello~

This post will be about one of Maybelline's celebrated concealer (as of what I've seen ;P)
Their Pure Mineral Concealer (Healthy natural concealer with micro minerals) *a mouthful*
Mine is in 02 Natural (I had to literally translate this from Katakana because everything was in Japanese) XD *originally Nachuraru*

Them pictures for your eyes only :)

The tube

 As you can see...everything on the bottle is in Japanese. I guess it's more for Asian skin tone because there are 3 shades in the maybelline site but only 2 shades in Watson Malaysia and the rest of the place that I found. It retails for Rm21.05 but i got it for RM18 something during watsons sale. The other shade available in Malaysia (or Asia maybe) is 01 Beige. That's more lighter than 02 which can be used for highlighting too. Wanted to get that one as I had thought that it would be better to get something lighter than my dark under eye to conceal it but 02 was the only one available so what the heck. 

Wrist swatch

When I swatch it on my wrist, I thought it was a tad to dark but then I realised...my face is a bit darker than my wrists which looked like it have never seen the light of day. It looked okay when blended so I was happy. There was no adverse reaction..so on my face it went. 

Face swatch XD lol

I didn't really follow the instruction on dotting it then blending. I don't also usually apply like in the picture (I don't know why I did tha XD) gosh. I usually use the wand and apply 3 streaks making it look like a triangle under my eyes then blending it out. If it's around, I use my sponge but 90% of the time I use my ring finger to tap everything in place. :)

My verdict :)

I am totally in love with this concealer!

Much more than my MAC Studio Finish concealer (NW30) which is a bit dark for since I lost my tan some time ago.
This concealer is very long lasting and it covers my under eye darkness perfectly..I don't know if it fixed anything but I just find it really good at hiding the darkness. I have been searching high and low for a good concealer...aaaaaand I think I've found it. Bummer if they decide to stop producing it or something. I hope not. *touch wood*
However, it does get into the creases beneath my eyes after a while and to prevent that, I use a primer before applying the concealer. Works like magic :)

I have never really tried it for my dark spots or anything because I usually just let them be but I think it would be too liquidy for your spots though. Sometimes I just pat the extra that I have on my finger on the spot and it does reduce the pigmentation a bit. A bit.

So to sum it up, I was not disappointed with this product because I usually can't use maybelline products on my face because it makes my face oily so I'm glad this one turned out really well. Definitely will repurchase this. Maybe two so I can put one in my bag as backup. :D

Thanks for reading lovelies. See you guys soon :) Cheers~
