#SweetCoverage
For the first time, I'll be reviewing a non-lippie product. Behold, a cheap concealer I got from Althea, ABBAmart in the shade, medium! Actually there were only 2 shades. One was light and one was...well, medium. I tend to pick the darkest shade when it comes to Korean products. They have really pale colors for foundation and concealer, since I guess most of Korean women I've seen or met seem to be very fair.
How cute is this packaging? Hihi
It's a creamy, balm type concealer with light to medium coverage. I was looking for something to cover my dark eyebags and chin dark spots (from hormonal breakouts) without breaking the bank. For 140 PhP, this felt like a steal. Here's how it did on me:
One swipe on my tanned skin
Blended easily into my NC37 skin
No makeup (hello, dark spots)
Concealer on eyebags and chin
With full office makeup
(After 8 hours)
Love it! It said on the description that it has lavender extract to help acne and whatnot heal. The only thing it doesn't do for me is to make my bags less puffy and make it plump. I know it looks a bit too light on my face at first, but trust me, it blends well with my foundation. I also like to apply things with a light hand, so you'll see some of the spots showing a bit. What this does is to brighten the dark areas and bring some warmth into them (I detect warm peachy undertones here). I might buy something else in the future but for now I'm happy with this cheeky and handy concealer. Big thumbs up!

I highly recommend for people who just need concealer for discoloration and nothing else. It does the job of blending your dark spots into your skin tone. Might be tricky to buy since there are only 2 shades. If it doesn't match, at least your wallet won't cry. In the future when this runs out, I wanna to try concealers from Maybelline, Nars, and the Face Shop.
Reco for other cheap Korean concealers? Lemme know!
