| Closer look at the applicator |
The product comes in plastic packaging and is distributed by the plastic top (which really reminds me of those cheap jelly lip glosses everyone used to own in year 7.) It doesn't look anything special but I would expect that for a drugstore product. I was not keen on the applicator as I found that it released too much product at once. My technique was too put a bit on the back of my hand and dot it where needed on my face. I much prefer the applicator of the Wake Me Up concealer but I guess this applicator it is more hygienic. Overall, the packaging is nothing special but it's decent for what you pay for.
The Product

| What it looks like applied |
The first thing I noticed when applying this concealer was the colour. I picked the lightest shade as I am fairly pale and I like to use concealer to highlight my under eyes. The colour of the concealer is fairly yellow toned and not as pale as I expected. I think that it would be difficult for anyone paler for me to find a colour which matches. I also would have preferred it to be either neutral or pink toned (to counter-act any dark circles). However, the colour blended well into my skin and applied well on top of foundation (Healthy Mix Serum.) As for my dark circles, I found that it did not quite cover the inner corners as well. I added another very thin layer and it did the trick without it looking cakey, which means it is a fairly build-able formula. I did find the scent (very fruity) along with the coolness of applying very wakening so I can see why they said it was "anti-fatigue". Normally scents would bother me in makeup but the reason for this scent is because it is meant to contain fruit extracts in the formula. The scent did not create any reaction so it is probably OK for people with sensitive skin. The overall look was very light and got rid of my underage circles well. So far I like it but I don't love it.

Blemishes/Imperfections:
I used it to cover up any imperfections, mainly around my t-zone. I just dabbed a bit on in the areas needed from the bit I put on the back of my hand. I then blended it in with my Real Techniques buffing brush. A lot of my imperfections has already been covered by my foundation, however, it covered anything left quite well. I would say it gives a light/medium coverage without looking cakey. If you suffer from more extreme acne I don't think this would have a good enough coverage so I would opt for something heavier, such as, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. However, it does the job quite well and I would use this on an every day basis. If I had spots I wanted more coverage on I would not use this concealer but for every day it does the trick.
Overall, my first impressions of this product is that it is a nice light concealer good for every-day purposes. I'm not sure if it is my favourite after the first use, but I will continue to use it and give an update of my final opinions at a later date.
