Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer Review

I have a horrible problem with buying things, putting them in a drawer and forgetting about them. This concealer is one of the products I bought, never used and then forgot about. The Kick Ass Concealer is like a 3 in 1 type thing: it has a powder, and 2 different colours of concealer. Its a 3 step process, each step is written on the front of the box, although which colour you use for what did baffle me a little at first - I was just being silly though.
Step 1 is to apply the brightening under eye concealer. It's the peach coloured one, I don't know enough to explain why its peach but I suppose the colour will just cancel out and cover dark circles? The concealer is incredibly creamy, and blends really easily. I think I maybe like this for the under eyes as much - if not more - than my Seventeen concealer. I've not noticed this creasing, and if you were maybe worried about it then you could always set it with powder.
Step 2 is the other concealer is pretty close to my skin colour. Its a pretty full coverage concealer - this makes it great for covering spots and redness. Its not nearly as creamy as the under eye concealer, but it is still pretty easy to blend.
Step 3 is a setting powder, perfect just for making extra sure that the concealer isn't going to move. This really helps my make-up stay in place, which is really helpful for me since my skin is incredibly oily and make-up usually just slips off my face.
I've used this a few times now, and from what I've tried of it I find it slightly to dark for me. The under eye concealer is pretty darn good in the grand scheme of things, I think I maybe like it as much - if not more - than my Seventeen Phowarr Paint. It blends pretty seamlessly, brightens the eyes and hides any nasty dark circles. The blemish concealer I'm not overly fond of, I find its a little dark for my skin and doesn't blend as easily, I just couldn't seem to get it to blend properly for me - I always could see the edges of it, maybe I'm just doing something wrong? Who knows. I like it, but I'd rather just have the under eye concealer if I'm honest.

Seventeen Phwoarr Paint


I had never needed to use concealer, not really. But now University, well its changed me. I'm always tired, and my eyes, oh my eyes! My dark circles and eye bags are ridiculous. I've never had them before so didn't quite know how to deal with them. I bought myself Seventeen's Phwoarr paint, and thank the lord I did.


Apologies for this being used, and a little mucky. The concealer is so thick and creamy, it doesn't feel heavy under the eyes. It only comes in two shades, fair - which I have - and medium. The shade light blends in really easily, it covers up all the darkness and puffiness that my lack of sleep has caused. It makes my under eye area look really nice, and glowy.
For £5.49 this is a seriously brilliant under eye concealer. The packaging isn't anything special, but personally I like it. Small black, circular compact with quite a big mirror for the size of the compact. I would seriously recommend this to anyone with absolutely any under eye problems - or even if you just want a concealer to make your eyes look brighter.

Have you tried this concealer? What ones do you like?
