ELF Tone Correcting Concealer


I have mixed feelings about this product. I didn't like it on my first week of use. It stings the eyes. I accidentally put it too close to my eyes and it stung like crazy. I don't like the funky smell too. If you use this solo, you have to apply at least 2 coats to completely cover what you're hiding. But I've been using this everyday for the past couple of weeks and I'm starting to have a change of heart. 

I don't use it on my under eye area anymore. I use it only on the spots on my cheeks. Then I apply some Surprise Concealer on top. 

I use my fingers to apply this. I don't use the applicator. I try to keep it as hygienic as possible. 



I swipe some product on a clean finger then use another finger to blend. This shade is Apricot Beige. I think there are only 3 shades to choose from. This costs P129.75 at Beauty by SM. It doesn't give me allergies or rashes. It stays on for a good period of time, like the whole day if I stay in the office.

You can also use this with the E.L.F. Corrective Concealer Palette and/or Awake concealer by Ellana. With Awake, you have to blend thoroughly otherwise the mineral concealer will clump up. 

I haven't made up my mind yet if I'm going to repurchase when the bottle runs out. We'll see...

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

When You Need a Tiny Reset (Glow Cards Are Here)

The shade is actually a dusty mauve or muted orchid. It looks blue on the image, but it's not blue.  There are days when I don’t need a full day off — I just need a moment. A tiny reset. A quiet pause in the swirl of noise. That’s how Glow Cards were born.
