ELF Concealer

We all have dark spots, the dark under eye circles we want to hide. So many concealers to choose from, right? Liquid, cream-type, stick-type.


After seeing the ELF website, I was impressed by the price. Inexpensive! That time I needed a concealer. Had to buy the ELF concealer in SM Watsons. This is my verdict:

The consistent is too liquid. I have to use a lot of it just to cover my dark under eye circles as well as blemishes. It seems that my skin easily absorbed the concealer; which is nice since it does not tend to cake and dry out. Coverage wise, not too much. When your face is oily, it won't work. You may use this if you have small dark spots. Otherwise, look for another concealer with thicker consistency like cream.

Pond's Facial Wash

So now i'm a bit frustrated with my skin. It's not as young as it looks, too much break-out and blemishes. Of course, i wanna make sure that I am using the right facial wash.

At first, i was using the Pond's White Beauty after the break-out. It was doing well. You can see that your skin tone is getting lighter, more glowing. I guess after sometime, your face will get tired of the same wash so I just had to stop it.

So since I already have my regular "zit alert" I had to try to Anti-Bacterial facial scrub. A few years back, this facial wash did not work for me. Had little bumps on the skin. So i was hesittant to use this again. Good thing, Pond's came up with the 5 peso sachet. Tried the product, and it helped a bit. Of course, it's not instant but you can feel it's working; trying to prevent more break outs.

There are lots of facial wash in the market; you don't know what suits you. I suggest, get the 5 pesos sachet Pond's has and see how it works on your skin
