as i've told you before, i'm waiting for my second bundle to arrive. and lack of sleep eventually. lack of sleep will cause dark circles undereye. at the moment, my laura mercier concealer had finished and my revlon one is more than 2 years old so i'll dump it soon.. that's why i'm searching for a new concealer. at first i'm interested in maybelline age rewind concealer, but when i found out that there's another concealer that's much cheaper plus it also got a good review, i decided to put hold on the age rewind one and bought the la girl hd pro conceal instead.
this is the description from their us website:
crease resistant, opaque coverage in a creamy yet lightweight texture. the long wearing formula camouflages darkness under the eyes, redness and skin imperfections. provides complete, natural looking coverage, evens skin tone, covers dark circles and minimizes fine lines around the eyes.
this blendable and buildable formula provides the ultimate, customizable coverage. this must have concealer includes a soft brush tip for easy application.
camouflages the appearance of skin imperfections, evens out skin tone, covers dark circles, minimizes fine lines, provides customizable coverage.
okay.. let's talk about the product...
the packaging: it's quite cute, in a small tube with soft brush tip just like described in the website. it's quite small so it's travel friendly.
the application: i will say that thanks to the soft brush included i don't have to use separate concealer brush to apply it, and i'll just use my finger to blend it. but from couple usage, i've found that it's quite difficult to dispense the product. i've squeezed the tube and such, but it's not easy to get the product out, let alone controlling the amount of the product dispensed.
the shade selection: many makeup artists and bloggers recommended this concealer because of its wide range shade selection. some even use this concealer for contouring. but since i don't wear makeup on daily basis plus i don't like heavy contouring with creamy products, i'll stick using it as concealer only. fyi, i pick classic ivory, the fairest one. and i'll have to say it matches me just alright. so i'm quite lucky for the shade selection. somehow the classic ivory had peach undertone in it, so it's not all yellow.
the product: it's a creamy concealer, but it's quick to dry, so that's why it's annoying when i can't get the product out just in time before it's dried on my face. as for blendability, it's easy to blend it, with finger or with another brush.. it's up to you.
the result: it covers my dark eyes perfectly. it can also covers redness on my cheek and under nose. it can also cover my old acne scar. so far it's an okay concealer.. perfect for under eyes and blemishes, but i think if i had active acne, it wouldn't be enough.
soooo... it's an okay concealer, and if you're looking for a double duty concealer/contouring, this might be the product for you. but if you don't like the messy application plus the trouble dispensing the product, then you might want to skip this one. as for a budget friendly product, i will say that this is a good product for your tight budget. it might be cheap but it's good. now for those who live in indonesia, there's no counter for la girl here, so if you want to buy online, you might want to guess your shade.. i have to say good luck with that since it has a wide range of selection.. but if you can find a counter near you, then you can try them first before buying. as for me, since i don't have the time luxury to dispense the product (please remember that i'll have two kids to be handled), so i'll have to search for another easy to use concealer after finishing this one.
