Racheal went to the States for her holibobs recentely and very kindly offered to pick me up a few bits and bobs which I'll slowly be going though. I was quite excited to get hold of Glamoflauge - I've heard so many good things about it that even though I don't really wear concealer, I really wanted to try it.
As always, the Hard Candy packaging is lovely!
The cream is very - a little goes a loong way! The pencil is a pretty standard concealer pencil in my opinion - quite creamy though. This is shade 'light.' It's perhaps half a shade too light for me, so I've been wearing it under my foundation.
The concealer claims to be able to conceal tattoos - well, look at the results for yourself. You can still see the black lines, but not any of the pink. (His wing on the left hand side is covered - I just did this really quickly as this tattoo is under my right arm and thus not very accessible!)
I'm not sure why you'd bother, to be honest, but there you are! I'm guessing this is meant to be a dupe of the Kat Von D concealer, which I understand even less than this one. (Y U want to conceal tattoos, Kat?!) Anyway, the packaging advises you to draw over the darker lines with the pencil and then layer the cream, 2-3 times - this is three layers. If I had to do this on a model, I'd probably use the relevant correctors instead of the pencil, and then use the concealer.
All in all, this a bloody good concealer if you need to conceal the shit out of something. It's a little too thick for under the eyes, in my opinion, and it sinks into my fine lines pretty quickly, but if you're hanging out of your arse and have big dark eye bags, this is going to do the job. I've had some monster spots this week and this is doing a good job on them!
I'd like to see more of a colour range as these are only available in 3 shade, which is a shame because for around $6 I don't think you'll find a better budget heavy duty concealer. Apart from the fact these are only available from Wal-Mart and the Wal-Mart site, which sucks, I love this and when I run out I'd probably try and get hold of it again.
Big thumbs up from me!
