Makeup Test – The Full Monty Redux (pt. 4)

Sorry that it’s taken me so long to complete my reviews, but I’ve had some internet troubles (it never seems to work when I need it to). It may be several days late, but here (at last) is the concealer portion of my Fully Monty Redux:

I was at the store with a Neutrogena concealer stick in my hand, when my sister guilt-tripped me into putting it back and getting a Physician’s Formula concealer instead (because PF doesn’t test on animals and Neutrogena does – it also helped that the PF was slightly cheaper than Neutrogena).

The Good:

  • Physician’s Formula doesn’t test on animals
  • Good application (It goes on smooth and isn’t too chalky or greasy.)

The Bad:

  • More color options! (Fair, light and medium do not encompass the full range of skin colors.)

The Ugly:

  • $6 for .15 oz (It seems like I paid less than this at Walmart.)

The Grade: B+

All in all a pretty good concealer. I do wish these stick concealers were longer lasting, especially when worn by themselves. It seems like they’ve faded away within hours of application (not just this one, but concealer sticks in general.)

Makeup Test – The Full Monty Redux

So, I did it again…the Fully Monty using all different products from last time (moisturizer, primer, foundation, concealer and powder).  This week I’ll review each item (one per day), starting with the moisturizer.

I picked up this green moisturizer with quite a bit of skepticism. It was very green and I just didn’t see how all of that color could mix in to my skin without making me look like a leprechaun.

The Good:

  • Good application (The green mixed in pretty well. I wouldn’t say that it was perfect, it definitely left a greenish cast to my skin, but once I put the rest of my makeup on, it wasn’t even noticeable.)
  • SPF 15
  • Physician’s Formula doesn’t test on animals. Yay!

The Bad:

  • The Green (I wouldn’t recommend wearing this alone, unless you like looking like a zombie.)
  • The Red (This supposedly corrects redness, but it wasn’t effective enough on my problem areas to make it worth the money.)
  • The Formula (It applied sort of chalky. It wasn’t too bad once it was all rubbed in, though.)

The Ugly:

  • $17+ for 1.7 oz.

The Grade: C-

A good product from an awesome company, but this one’s not worth the money, in my opinion.
