I bought this concealer based on two things: Firstly, advice from a self-confessed 'make-up junkie' friend, and secondly, from a magazine review. Unable to resist their five star rating, I decided to give it a go, since it was so cheap and, being a poor student, it's price appealed to my money-saving instincts!

The first, and most obvious thing I can say about this concealer is the price: it's an absolute bargain at £4.99. There are many other brands of 'light reflecting/illuminating/dazzling' concealer out there, some incredibly expensive, and I would put my money (ha!) on this being the cheapest of the lot. So there you go - for a girl like me (who loves a bargain) this really is a huge plus point.

You might be tempted to think that because it's so cheap, it's not very good. Well, this isn't really the case. The packaging isn't particularly sleeek or fancy; in fact , it's pretty plain, but I'm not particularly worried about what it looks like, so that's no bother for me. Being one of those clicky bottom applicator pens, another plus point is that you never need to worry about too much concealer coming out and wasting it - each click pushes out a little more concealer, so you can be really precise with how much you want (The only annoying this is when you first start using it - you have to click the pen around for about a million years before you get any concealer out. Not a huge negative, but can be annoying if you're applying make-up in a hurry!)

The concealer itself is creamy and a really nice consistency. It blends in really well with my skin tone, and really does brighten around my eyes. Yes, it REALLY does! Here's a piece of evidence for you: One day I decided to go without it, because I was running late and didn't have the time to put it on. First thing my friend says to me when we met up - 'Wow, are you okay? You look really tired.' Thanks.

It also does really well hiding spots and blemishes, plus it lasts quite a long time - I'll buy one and won't have to buy another for a few months.

So, disadvantages. There isn't really a lot of choice with shades. Only three, which to be honest, is a bit ridiculous. I'm quite lucky, because I match one colour quite well, but if you're really pale (or really brown) then you're a bit stuck. It would really, really benefit from getting some more shades in there.

But apart from that, this really is a fantastic buy. I can't really comment on whether it helps 'diminish the appearance of fine lines' as it claims, because I don't quite have that problem yet, but it certainly does help brighten up my skin. I've tried lots of concealers, and a lot of them dry out quite quickly, look a bit 'cakey' and obvious, but this one is great. I can definitely recommend.
