Review: Revlon Photoready Concealer 003 Light Medium

I already have liquid concealer, but it doesn't have enough coverage.
Liquid concealer is better than stick concealer in the moisturizing factor, but for coverage stick concealer is better.
So... wanted a stick concealer, when I went to Revlon, I bought this one.

Photoready is one of Revlon collection, they have the foundation and compact, too.
After having chit chat with the Revlon BA, I knew that photoready has glitter particles in their products.



Description


For a flawless, airbrushed appearance in any light.
Oil-free and fragrance-free
All over face concealer helps erase imperfections and camouflage dark undereye circles
Full yet undetectable coverage 
Photochromatic pigments bend, reflect and diffuse light

Price: IDR 75k
Color range: In Indonesia only 3 shades, while at web there are 5 shades



Packaging

It looks like lipstick from the shape and the size.
Wrapped in plastic seal with no box.
The cap is transparent so you  can see the color inside, mine got dirty because it's a clear plastic.


I chose 003 Light Medium, which I now feel that it's a little bit too dark for me, I better choose a lighter shade next time (002). Lesson taken.


The plastic is thick and I like it, I dropped it and it's still ok.


Doesn't it look like lipstick?
This concealer has a click sound everytime I twist it, not as smooth as you twist a lipstick.
I think because the formula not as creamy as lipstick, and it's a concealer which usually used with more pressure.



Swatch

The texture is creamy and easy to blend.
I have a small brown spot at my hand, let's see how it works.
With 1 layer, there is a slight coverage.
With 2 layers, the spot is covered but you can see the color is a bit darker than my skintone.
I don't really like using it as under eye concealer because I prefer liquid and something more creamy to my dry skin, because this will makes the fine lines visible if I put it too much.


Look closer, there is a 'bling bling' there, the glitter is barely seen, it's not noticeable so it's no problem.
Revlon mention it as Photochromatic pigments.



Pros
+ Stick concealer is easier to bring, not as messy as liquid
+ The plastic is thick
+ Coverage is good, but I think I need something more

Cons
- Not all people like shimmer concealer
- Only come in 3 shades
- Not really suitable for dry skin especially under eye area

Overall
I like it so far, but still finding something better. It is not bad for a drugstore product.
This is the only stick concealer from Revlon so we don't have many choices from Revlon.
Having one type of concealer isn't enough, there's sometimes that we need liquid type and sometimes stick.
For very dry skin I don't recommend this one. For oily skin stick is good and more long lasting.


What's your holy grail concealer?
I haven't found it yet and still in my journey finding the one.

Review: IOPE Air Cushion Sunblock EX No.22 Ice Shimmer Beige

IOPE is a brand from Amore Pacific. The medium high collection similar with Laneige and Mamonde. The skin care range is more for older people, while Laneige and Mamonde are for younger people. This is my first IOPE. It is really best selling, sold 1 every 30 seconds in the world. I also heard that it is featured in many magazines, got award, etc... I am curious with this air cushion thing. and it is really good to know there is a compact sunblock with high SPF (it's 50!!). Since it is superrrr hot here in Bali, where I live, I don't like wearing cream sunblock. *Sorry for blurry picture* The box is thick because it contains the compact sunblock + FREE REFILL... Love it the free one. You also get the small booklet for product description inside. Description It is 4 in 1 function: brightening, UV protection, make up, cooling. The cooling effect is new to me, I never have cooling effect product before. Really all in ...

News: Etude House Magic Any Cushion (Any Cushion + Choux Base???)

Quick News from Etude House! Etude Hose, why are you keep making me broke? Maybe for some people. it's really true. They are now going on their spring collection as the new lips fit already launched. A few days ago, there is something new and it's so exciting and colorful.  Etude House Any Cushion has been a hit and it's best selling item. Do you remember the last year Sweet Recipe collection, I reviewed the   Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base #2 Berry . And now they are combining both of them and creating a new Etude House Magic Any Cushion. I love how they look. They're just like macaroons to me! Kyaa... There are 3 colors just like the Baby Choux Base, Peach, Mint and Berry. It claims that the cushion can magically tone up the skin. So if you have redness, you can choose the mint one. If you have pale skin like me, berry is the perfect one, and peach can also whiten your skin tone. I love this idea because it is more practical becaus...

Review: Eveline Glicerini Hand and Nail Cream Bio Olive + Karite Butter

Back then, my mom bought me this hand cream at Sasa Hongkong. At first, I was sceptical about this because I've never heard about it before,  Eveline is a pretty name for a girl but never heard about them on cosmetics or so. It's a brand from Poland that has been sold worldwide. I love Sasa because they sell a lot of products, so many brands that I don't know and they are affordable. I hope Sasa will open in Indonesia, someday *dreaming*. After searching and browsing, I'm surprised that they have so many products for make up and care (face, ,body, hair). Such a lot of products. And I've found this on their web, the description of the hand cream and what's in it. GLYCERINE CONCENTRATED HAND AND NAIL CREAM DEEPLY NOURISHING + REGENERATING BIO OLIVE + KARITE BUTTER strengthens nails  48h perfectly absorbing formula NATURAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS Glycerine hand cream ensures deep nourishment and intense regeneration.
