L.A. Girl HD PRO Conceal in Medium Beige

I heard a lot about this product online, so I couldn't wait to try it! I came across it at G-Stage, which sells mostly clothes and accessories and some beauty products. They had an entire display out for these along with testers which I really appreciated because upon looking at the large color range online, I could not decide what color I was. So after playing around with the beige shades, I decided on Medium Beige (GC978).

The website sells it for $5.00 but it's available for a lower price in stores. The website claims:

"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 concealer has a brush tip applicator, which is convenient. However, I'm always iffy on these kinds of applicators because its easy to get dirty and it'll hold the bacteria. I do like it though, honestly, because it's so easy to apply.

Here is a swatch of it on my hand. It's a bit lighter than my hand but it matches my face, so we're good.

Below is a picture of the pen test (couldn't find a sharpie so I used a ballpoint pen) which I normally do with concealers.

So it's got an okay coverage, nothing to brag about, but its alright. I do find myself using it more often than my Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer, since it has a lighter coverage and costs less than KVD.
There isn't much of a smell to this concealer, so that's great.
I'm also super duper happy that it matches my skin tone so well, since I always seem to have a problem with that.
This concealer does a great job at helping with redness and small blemishes, and often I'll just apply this and put powder and I'm ready to go. It doesn't look cakey so its great for a natural look.
The only complaint that I have about this is that sometimes, it'll dispense a clear substance instead of the concealer, but that's easily fixed by shaking the tube. Otherwise, it's pretty good stuff. There's a great color range and the price is reasonable.

Does it live up to the qualities listed on the website?

• "Crease resistant"?
• I've never experienced creasing with any concealers, to be honest.
• "Opaque coverage in a creamy yet lightweight texture"?
• Not exactly the opaque-est (is that a word?) but it is creamy and pretty lightweight.
• "Natural looking coverage?"
• I'd say so!

And, they don't test on animals!

Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer

Soooo, I'm sorry I haven't made a post in awhile. High school is keeping me busy x.x Honors classes -_- anyway...

This concealer is from my last sephora haul and its the Kat Von D tattoo Concealer. I heard quite a lot of people raving about it (JlovesMac1) :) But ch'yeah. So I decided to try it. My dad freaked out when he saw the order form xD he was all like: What? Do you have tattoos? XD

I got this in the shade almond. I couldnt really get a good swatch picture though T^T

Now, about the actual concealer...
Its very good ^_^ I'm quite pleased with this product. The cover is AWESOME :D It's oil and paraben free. I'm happy its the right shade too :) The tube is kinda tiny, but you only need a tiny amount to cover. I'll squeeze out a tiny little bubble thing... Like tinier than... hm... I dont know,... but its tiny. And with that, I can conceal under both my eyes. It's very creamy and it blends well. It's now my favorite concealer :3

UPDATE (about 2 years later[2013])
I still have this concealer and I am nowhere near finishing it. Honestly, this has to be one of the best concealers. I think that I might have to repurchase it now, since it has proved itself to be worth my money. I have been using this daily ever since I got it. I use it to cover blemishes and then I would put powder over, everyday. And yet, it isn't gone yet. It hadn't occurred to me how long I've had this until I looked at this post. I don't think it's good to keep it around for so long, but hey, it's not gone yet!

e.l.f. Studio Concealer

This is the Concealer. I got this somewhere in March.? It comes in a nice little tube. FIRST thing, The cap falls off ALOT>_> so do NOT depend on this cap here. Its not stable =_=" Otherwise, this product is sorta... Nice. Its very creamy and easy to apply, but kinda hard to blend. It'll blend, but you should warm it up on your hand first if your applying with fingers or you can just put it on and blend with a sponge.Its nice and creamy and gives pretty good coverage. I think this is because its so dense ._. You apply it, like you would a lipstick. But on your face.

Kay... The Cream Eyeshadow is very pretty. Its a ... I call it a Strawberry Champagne color. Its got little flecks in it.


The primer... I think It sucks. Its a very watery consistency and washes off. O_O I think the elf eye primer is better.


The Erase Paste is very DENSE -_- and CREAMY. its not super easy to blend, but it blends. It doesn't match my skin color. Its kinda... Pink.
I dont like the products very much, but I gave it a try...

Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture & essence Forget it 3 in 1 Concealer

Picture Obviously not by me. This moisturizer is pretty good at moisturizing, however, IT SMELLS LIKE SUNSCREEN SOOOO MUCH

which I hate. I know, I know... DUH it smells like sunscreen... it has spf15... but my Eucerin one doesn't smell as much like sunscreen, even though it does a LITTLE bit.

DO NOT use this if you have oily skin. I know it says OIL-FREE but it leaves a freaking shiny finish! Dx and the only way to make it not shiny is caking on powder, which is not recommended  I need this to go awayyyyy xP thats why its part of my Project 10 Pan

Price: $12.99 on drugstore.com (i got this from my mom so idk what she paid.)
Where?: Ive seen it at target
Repurchase?: Not something I'd WANT to do.

This concealer is pretty cool ^^ Mine looks different than this one O_O anyway, the pink is for under eye circles, (this kinda looks weird at first, but powder fixes everything) green for neutralizing redness (also looks weird), and beige for blemishes. It works pretty well, even though the beige doesnt exactly match my skin color. The concealer itself is thick and creamy, and it is okay with coverage. I don't think the green would neutralize any redness unless you really cake it on, since its sheer.
