Hello hello! And again, I’m back lol
First of all I want to apologize for this HUNOMENAL lack of posts. It’s been
almost 6 months since my last post. These 6 months were enormously hard for me.
You know, being alone in such a big city as Moscow, living in dorm, pretending
to be an adult… Oh, I didn’t mention before but right now I’m living in Moscow
and studying at Moscow State University. Huge city, no personal space,
university and 17 yrs old hiki girl? Well, this combination is totally not the
perfect one.
During this time so much has
happened and I’ve been wondering if I could ever come back to blogging. Coz I had
2 or 3 almost finished posts but… I had a strange mental wall so didn’t really
want to write or edit photos. And also this situation in Russia, it is simply
too expensive to be a beauty blogger right now :DDD
But couple weeks ago I woke up and
thought “Hmmm, I wanna blogging again”. But it’s not as easy as I thought it
would be. Too lazy panda, remember? So today I want to share with you my review
on Aritaum Full cover liquid concealer in #2 Natural Beige that was sponsored
by ibuybeauty. It has been written in September but somehow I forgot to post it
in blog so finally here it is.
Description
Packaging
The packaging is similar to
the bb cream’s one, pretty simple but modern looking tube however it is a bit
rounder and much smaller. The print on the tube is awesome as well and makes me
feel happier when I look at it. The hole is very small and it is perfect for
such a pigmented product.
And size. SIZE! There are
25 ml of product! Can you imagine, 25 ml! Some people name it the dupe to MAFE
Full cover concealer I have never tried it before but if it is so I think it is
much cheaper to buy Aritaum concealer.
Texture
The concealer is pretty
thick but melts from the body heat and blends very easily. The formula is not
drying so it feels and looks natural even on top of the blemishes as well as
under the eyes. But if you have any dry patches you should be careful with this
product. As you can see it accentuated a little spot on my nose and some bumps
around my mouth.
Shade
Like a bb cream, concealer
has only 2 shades: Light Beige and Natural beige. The color of the second one
is beige with yellow undertone. As you can see the shade doesn’t match the bb
cream but after setting this difference disappears.
Application
I prefer using my fingers
to apply this concealer. Clean fingers and patting motions give you the fullest
coverage and the most natural finish.
Finish
The finish of the concealer
is semi matte and also less glowy that the bb cream’s one. I find this product
pretty similar to MAC Pro Longwear concealer, the only difference is the
texture coz Pro Longwear is a liquid concealer. Also I don’t recommend to use
this product alone if you have big pores. As you can see my pores are the same
size on both photos.
Adaptation
It does not really adapt to
my skincolor, maybe becomes less yellow. But it is not such a big difference.
Coverage
Unlike the bb cream from
the same line the concealer is very pigmented and the coverage is literally
full. Unfortunately it does not cover some of my acne from the first layer but the
combination bb cream + concealer is enough even for my active acne and dark
spots.
Oil-control
I can’t tell you if it has
any oil control coz I’ve never used it alone.
Sent
It has the same scent as
the bb cream, sunscreen scent. I don’t know if it’s good or not it is really
strong but not intrusive.
Pros
+ Full coverage
+ Huge amount of product
+ Yellow undertone
+ Easy application
+ Natural finish
Cons
- Only 2 shades
- Strong scent
- Accentuating imperfections
- Doesn’t hide my pores
- Strong scent
- Accentuating imperfections

Rating : 4+ / 5
In total
I absolutely
in love with this line. Both concealer and bb cream have some cons but in total
they are almost everything that I need. Good coverage, natural finish,
acceptable price and big amount of product. I use this combination on a daily
basis and can’t tell you how much I love it!
