beauty basket: ELf tone correcting concealer

I'm sure every girls out there who has imperfections on their face like acne marks,dark undereye circles, etc have thier very own concealer..as for me I have one as in maraming acne marks,having a concealer is a MUST! When I don't feel like applying foundation on my face I just apply concealer then top it with powder and off I go.. One of the few buys that I have is this ELF tone correcting concealer, I got mine last year( yes super tagal na and decided to make review on this). As you can see the product itself is tiny(as in kunti lang yung laman) but mine lasted for a year. Does it mean I'm not  using it often? YES..is the answer.. I find the product too greasy, since I have oily skin it bothers  me to use product that will tolerate the oiliness of my skin! mantikain po talaga ako...

star of the show.. elf tone correcting concealer in apricot beige ( because the SA told me it was the only shade available. Oh by the way I find the SA in SM manila annoying,supladahin and mga lola mo day! I prefer ELF SA in MOA, i remember complaining the attitudes of those 2 SA.. anyway that was last year pa naman, dunno if sila pa rin nandun.
swatch on my hand
blend... blend blend


I used it to cover my  under eye circles
blend ulit!
tada... is their any difference?
and now let's try it on my acne marks.. see I have bad severe acne marks!
dot dot dot
and blend..


OVERALL HERE'S MY SAY:
pros:
simple packaging?travel size
inexpensive
lightweight
smells like orange
easy to apply
out of 5 stars,I'll rate this 2.5 on its coverage power

cons:
DOESN'T STAY ON.. with my oily skin an hour is good enough
I find it greasy!

as you can see in the pictures it can cover my marks but the only thing that bothers me here is the staying power and greasiness of the product. Maybe for those who have dry skin might work on them.

will I purchase again?
maybe not.. but I recommend this product though

  1. what i love about elf is that their make-up line is really great sans the expensive cost. i used clinique and lancome before this (gifted) as my concealer, but i should check out elf now that it's actually time for me to buy one!

    of course im following you back.
