I have been on a hunt of good and affordable concealers. I actually own a lot of concealers just because I haven't really found the "ONE". My sister and I went to a bazaar almost three months ago and there was this store that sells US drugstore cosmetics and they were really cheap. The lip glosses were about P100 (approx US$2) and we noticed a "brown" lip gloss. When I took it out, it was actually a concealer and when we asked the saleslady there how much was it, she told us it was P100 as well. My sister and I were so excited! Unfortunately, the lady noticed that it was actually a concealer..she sold it to us for P199 (approx US$4). However, I think we still had a pretty good deal. I tried it at once when we went home and it turned out to be just a little bit lighter than our skintone. I tried it out for about a month and so here it my review:
Name: Fit Me Concealer by Maybelline
Bought from: I forgot! got it for P199 (approx US4)Price: US$6.49 in the Maybelline Website
Shade: 25 Medium

PRODUCT DETAILS
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

FOR BEST RESULTS
Dot concealer onto imperfections or under eyes. Pat with finger to blend.
When we bought the product, it did not come with a box. It came in a tube that looks like a lip gloss. The applicator also looks similar to that of a lip gloss applicator. I like the applicator. It was not stiff and it holds a lot of product.
Swatches:
As you can see from the swatches, it is really creamy, opaque and very blendable. Also, my skin felt smooth after applying the product. It also has a minimal white cast.
Test drive:
A you can see, I do not really have dark undereye circles but my undereyes are very puffy thus creating a shadow and making me look like I have dark undereye circles. I also have a lot of lines in that area so using concealers are quite tricky because some settle on the lines.
I used my fingers to pat the product and blend it to my skin. It does brighten up and has significantly decreased the darkness on undereyes. I think I have applied way too much of the product though.
This is me sans makeup.
Here, I just used concealer on my undereyes and sides of my nose and applied some powder, blush and eyebrows.
Overall Thoughts:
What I like:
-The creamy consistency is just right especially when applied on my undereye circles since it does not settle on the lines
-does not cake
-color matches my skin tone
-no foul odor
- easily blendable
- lasts 4-6 hours without primer
Issues:
-might be difficult to find here in the Philippines, I have yet to find an online seller that carries this product
I really like this concealer. It is by far my favorite concealer coverage and color wise. I highly recommend this especially to those girls have lines on their undereyes as well.
I hope you find my review helpful.Please do comment below what you think of my post and what your fave concealer is! Take care!
