Maybelline Angelfit concealer, Ellana Mineral COncealer in Awake,(first 2 above) Nyx concealer in fair, (lowest 3rd) Avon Ideal Concealer Stick
Maybelline Angelfit Concealer
Pros:
-Lightweight concealer, it doesn’t feel cakey or anything
- Gives light-medium coverage. I don’t recommend this if you need heavy coverage concealer.
- Little bit goes a long way
-Locally available (Maybelline Asia)
-Affordable
-Comes in a decent tube packaging
Cons:
-Few shades to choose from (Mine is in 01)
(I can’t think of any other cons :p)
Ellana Mineral Concealer in Awake
Pros:
-It’s a MINERAL concealer :)
- Comes in a yellow-ish tone which neutralizes my dark circles
Cons:
-Bought through online
- Settle in my fine lines at times
-I don’t know. I just couldn’t find myself reaching for this lately.
Nyx concealer in fair
Pros:
-Creamy! Could give you medium-heavy coverage
-Little goes a long way
- Doesn’t feel cakey (atleast to me? :P ). Just blend it nicely and make sure to get the correct shade.
-Has lots of shades to choose from
-The jar contains a lot of product.
Cons:
-NYX is not available locally in the Philippines
-Purchased mine thru an online shop so I didn’t get the chance to swatch all the shades and personally pick which suite me best.
-More of an unhygienic packaging. (I guess?) Use a spatula if you don’t want to keep your fingers from contaminating the product.
Avon Ideal Concealer Stick
Pros:
-Travel-friendly above all of the concealers that I own
-Easy to apply, just glide it against your skin and blend
-Available locally
-Affordable
Cons:
-Settles in fine lines
-Only comes in two shades
This are all the concealers that I own as of the moment. I know it’s not a lot but they’re all useful for me so I find them worth keeping and blogging. Thanks for reading the review of a simple, middle class girl like me. Take care!

Ellana Mineral Foundation



Ellana Mineral Foundation in French Vanilla Latte

Ellana Mineral Foundation in French Vanilla Latte
Product claims:
Loose powder foundation that offers superior coverage, effectively covering and reducing dark spots, acne, fine lines, wrinkles, and other imperfections, making your skin instantly flawless with an illuminating glow. It glides on your skin like silk, never gritty or sticky. It’s easy to blend, providing a velvety finish. Our mineral foundations come in three finishes, Perfect Blend, Pure Blend and the Intensive Coverage. Our old formula, the Premium Blend is still available.
how it works:
*Allantoin, Vitamin C and E for cell regeneration and moisturizing
* Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide  to provide natural sun protection,  soothes redness, and long-lasting coverage
* Fragrance-free, Paraben-free
*Pros:
- Easy to blend
- Medium coverage
- Gives flawless matte finish
- Paraben-free
- With Vit C and E
- I don’t need to keep on retouching my face with this.
- Has good oil-control for me.
- Staying power is good.
- I have used this many times in consistent days, even weeks and I didn’t have any skin breakouts at all as I have pretty sensitive skin.
*Cons:
- Messy to use.
- Available thru online.
*Little bit of sharing:
Shades for me are French Vanilla Latte, Cafe Breve and Peach Coffee Shake. I really don’t know which exactly among these three suits me best, I can not see any difference after applying them LOL. May be because all of them are generally on lightest shades and I am in neutral tone. Though they sell online, they provided their customers charts with corresponding tones and shades you can choose from upon purchasing.

*Price: It depends on the size/volume of the product. 1G- P100, 4G- P300 and 6G-P420
*Where can I find these product? http://ellanaminerals.com
*Would I repurchase? Yes :)

*Do I recommend it? YES.
