[ REVIEW ] MAC Pro Long Wear Concealer and Dermablend Quick Fix Concealer Stick


I got this concealer at THE BAY for about  CAD 27.00 (including tax)-- I know it's more expensive than buying it at a local MAC store -.-' but that store didnt have my shade so I just went to the bay.
I am an NC25.
P.S. This is my third bottle.

Ignore my nails ^^



It is in a glass bottle and I remember getting my very first bottle and I accidentally dropped it--SO IT BROKE. --IT IS VERY FRAGILE-- (I was so devastated because damn that was like $25)--

So this is ONE PUMP. I know it is a lot. The thing is, you cannot really control the amount of product once you pump it b/c that's how the packaging is--yes it is crap. (hate it)

And this is when I spread/dab it. 

the pump thingy--it's messed up b/c crappy packaging.


EFFECTS/CLAIMS:

As you may have already read, this is my THIRD bottle. Yep. That says something. I AM INLOVE WITH THIS BABY!!!--Holy Grail concealer-- I mean IT DOES NOT cover up everything but it covers up 95% of my acne --may it be active or not (hyperpigmentations) and dang, it does stay on for A WHILE (With a good primer and setting powder of course)--THE BEST IS THAT IT DOES NOT BREAK ME OUT LIKE HOLY SHIZ THAT'S SUPER RARE! 

I do not really use it for my under eyes because it DOES crease like crazy lol. --great for covering blemishes--I not recommend it for under eyes tho. 

RATING: 9/10 (b/c the pump thingy is C-R-A-P) 



DERMABLEND  Quick Fix Concealer Stick





 I got this on Nailpolishcanada
Got it for $27.00 LOL DANG-bye money. I got this in beige.
I wanted to try it out and see if the hype~and rave~ about this product is worth it....
Shipping was fast btw.




 
The main ingredient of this thing is titanium oxide for SPF. Also, Mineral oil, and talc.
I completely forgot that my skin freaking reacts HORRIBLY to talc and mineral oil....SO YEP. BAD IDEA.

As you can see, it's just a typical concealer stick. Nothing TOO exciting about it AT ALL.


After a dabbing it


 EFFECTS/CLAIMS

So I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO USE IT b/c of all the reviews I have seen...
So first time: it was really oily right when I applied it then after a few hours IT CREASED-IT made my face look so dry! and I know my skin is downright oily. I had everything right--primer-concealer-foundation-setting powder. YET, it just did not work out.

I am almost done the stick and then THERE I realized, yep, it is breaking me out. Haha, it gave me TONS of new cystic pimples. I was SO SO SO disappointed...

I guess it's just not right for my skin. Don't understand the hype for the dermablend line.

RATING: 2/10



 MAC Pro Longwear concealer ALL THE EFFING WAY.
