Review: Bloom Secret Weapon Concealer Kit

Every queen needs her beauty sleep.
Sleeping Beauty wasn't known as a beauty for being awake! (I kid of course!).

While some of us can't naturally emulate Sleeping Beauty's "achievements" in the beauty department or get the right amount of sleep, we can easily turn to concealers to masquerade those treasured designer eye bags and imperfections.

Bring in the Bloom Secret Weapon Concealer Kit! Ladies, this credit card-sized concealer kit easily fits in your handbag/clutch so you can apply touch ups and conceal, conceal, conceal, oh-so-stealthily.



I purchased this nifty kit tailored for fair-medium skin at Cosmetics Fragrance Direct at DFO. Yes, the medium-dark kit is also available if you're interested! For just a quarter of the RRP, this deal was too hard to pass up. This is indeed my first Bloom product so I was very interested in the performance of the product.

This kit comes with 3 skin coloured concealer shades (fair, light and medium), a beautiful light bronze illuminiser, a yellow concealer shade for blue-purple tones (bye bye dark circles) and a green concealer shade for redness and blemishes.



And added for your "assistance" is a brief guide of the shades and their possible uses. I do believe that the light and medium concealer shades are swapped and do not correspond to the back of the card.

(swatches of the shades - light, medium, illuminiser, fair, green and yellow)

I find the product to be of great value for $5, but I would not purchase this at its RRP ~ $20.
The shades are of decent pigmentation and conceals my dark cirlcles and blemishes adequately. The blue-purple shades of my dark circles are diminished and my eyes appear much brighter.
I'm not a fan of the brush so I use my fingers to pat everything in because "fingers are basically the ultimate makeup brush" as quoted from Candice (YouReview). I find gently patting on layers to be the most effective application of these shades.  The illuminiser has got to be one of my favourite shades - a very nice bonus that's not overly sparkly and provides the perfect sheen for me. I haven't played with the green shade yet because I don't have any redness on at the moment. Throughout the day, I found myself to do a minor touch up, which I don't mind of course - my dark circles are quite distinguishably unsightly.

This concealer kit is certainly handy for those on the go and for those undercover touch up sessions. It's not the best but it certainly is worth trying out. Additionally, if you're looking into experimenting with concealers why not check this kit out? It has three flesh tone concealer shades so nailing the perfect shade has never been easier!

    Naw, thanks for the shout out! This product looks so cool! I've never actually used a green toned concealer...it looks a bit scary! I think this would be so useful for travelling.

      I just had too! :) When I was first exposed to the concept of green concealers it was quite intimidating for me as well! Definitely keeping this in my handbag!

    Ah this is really cute! I'll have to check out DFO! But you're right, I probably wouldn't pay full price for this ;)
