Soap and Glory's kick ass conceal review


For a while now I have been using the collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer, but have never really understood the hype. Yes it's been ok, but I've felt it never really matched my skin tone and was very drying on my skin. So for a while now I've been on the look out for something new... 

I absolutely love watching youtuber's monthly favourite videos, and reading up on products that they have mentioned to get some ideas and inspiration on new things to try. A product that kept cropping up was the Soap and Glory kick ass concealer. Apart from everyone loving the collection 2000 concealer, this seemed to be the second favourite, but extremely over shadowed. 

At £10 a pot, I don't really consider it to be amongst the cheaper drugstore concealers, and so put off buying it until my collection 2000 lasting perfection ran out. I now however regret waiting. 

I unfortunately suffer with quite dry and sensitive skin, even more so now the weather has turned cold. I find that most concealers are very drying, and this just clings to my already dry patches of skin. To my delight, the kick ass concealer doesn't have the same drying affect.

It has a lovely creamy texture, and smooths onto the skin with a flawless finish and drys to be almost like a powder. I apply it with my fingers, as I do with all of my skin products and feel it melts nicely into my skin. 

I am very pleased to say that it gives me amazing coverage from redness and from dark circles under my eyes. I have found with previous concealers, they are either good at covering one or the other. 

It comes in 2 shades, light or medium. As I am very pale skinned I opted for the light shade. In the concealer pot you get an under eye concealer which boasts to have a 'puffease' technology, a long lasting spot concealer and a translucent powder to set. I really like the packaging as its lovely and compact and comes with a handy mirror. 

Overall I would definitely recommend you give this concealer a chance and I would definitely invest another £10 on the product in the future! I am glad I had a little splurge and won't be going back for the collection 2000 concealer again. Money well spent.
