How are we this Thursday? My week so far has been manic which I don't expect to change any time soon, but hey I like it that way!
Todays post I'm going to be giving my review on this Seventeen concealer.
I bought this concealer by accident to be honest, I was browsing my local Boots one day and picked it up just to have a look, then bumped into someone I knew and the next thing I know I've been to the checkout and it's on my receipt. However accidental purchase for the win, I love this concealer!
The packaging isn't amazing but it's not bad and this little compact cost me £5.49, which I thought was quite a lot for number 17 brand. Nevertheless it's small and easy to carry about, it also has a fairly big mirror which really works for me.
On the pot the product is described as 'heavy duty under eye concealer' and is suppose to 'wage the war on under eye circles'. The product itself is really thick and creamy with quite a dry formula until it hits the skin an melts slightly. The concealer works wonders by covering up any dark circles and leaving a dewy brightening effect.
The colour I got was in 'fair' which is a great colour match for me. The colour itself is fairly peachy but not overly pink. Which for me is good because my skin is quite pale and I don't have much redness at all. The colour of the concealer really matches my foundation too which is perfect.
Previously I've never actually applied under eye concealer because to be frank I never knew you could do that. I know blasphemy. Till the beauty blogging world showed me the errors of my ways I now never leave the house without it!
When I first applied the product I though it was a bit light for my skin and made my dark circles looked worse. Although I found this was because I wasn't putting too much on as I was using a brush. So now I apply this product with my forth finger straight from the pot and blend out under my eyes. This works really well for me as my fingers melt the product which helps it blend and erase my dark circles.
Overall I would definitely recommend this product, the bad side is theres only two shades, medium and fair. However if your lucky enough to get a good colour match then do go try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed!
Has any one else tried this concealer and love it as much as me?
I've never tried any 17 products before but this concealer actually looks really good. Might have to try it! Cute blog layout btw :)

I never really use 17 so was quite happily surprised when this one actually worked well! I think 17 has got a lot better these days so I may try some other products from them. xx
DeleteI don't (yet) need heavy duty so I doubt this would be right for me, but I do like how well it looks on your swatch.
