Review: Best Concealer- FaceIt Radiance Concealer Dual Veil, by The Face Shop

Hello, So today, I'm gonna review "FaceIt Radiance Concealer Dual Veil, by The Face Shop". Personally, I do not have nice and smooth skin, and I have some pretty bad dark circles so concealer is important to my daily make up steps. First of all, my skin color is fairly dark compare to other asians, especially when compared to those Koreans with extremely white skin. So then I got my concealer in NB23, which I believe is the darkest tone they have, which turns out it perfectly matches my skin tone. I got this product from ebay for $9.82 plus an additional $2.50 for shipping. I think it's fairly priced with the amount of product it comes in. Since I dont use too much concealer per day, so I believe it would last me quite a while.

I do not know about the ingredients like other reviewers do, so I'm gonna skip the ingredient part. I do not have sensitive skin, so it works fine on me. 


So here's the reason why its called Dual Veil. This is a dual ended concealer, so it comes with both LIQUID AND STICK. Isn't this amazing??? The liquid is suppose to be for a larger area of coverage and discoloration. The stick end is suppose to be for smaller area, like a pimple mark or something. I personally like the stick end more than the liquid end though. 


 As you can see, the stick end looks exactly like a lip stick. However, this is the whole stick end, so it's not extremely long. BUT when the product comes with both stick and liquid, I think this is a fair size for the stick.
This is like liquid end, which kinda looks like a lip gloss? Haha, this whole product to me seems like lip product rather than concealer, but it's such a great concealer.



So the top is like liquid, the bottom is the stick. As you can see, the liquid has a more obvious color than the stick. Maybe that's why I like the stick more, since I don't need THAT much color? However, the color in my camera doesnt show the product's true color. The actual product isn't as white. It's a little darker. I think this product wouldnt work for TOO dark people, maybe a light tan color people? Like me haha. 



I believe you can't really see after I blended the products. but the peach color circle is suppose to be the liquid one, and blue circle was the stick. My camera really doesn't show much color. And that I didn't want to apply too much of the product to show you guys so you wouldn't think the product doesn't blend well? It actually blends really well, maybe that's why you cant really see the color in those pictures. 
I would really recommend getting this concealer since it's so convenient. For those of you who aren't sure if you need a regular liquid or stick, now you can have both to test it out! It lasts me throughout the whole day. So yeah, if you want a easily blend out concealer, go ahead and get this one :)

FAKE! Benefit They're Real Mascara

Hello everyone! So I know I said this page will be dedicated to Korea products, but I'm sorry to say, I HAVE to start with this non-korean product first. I ordered this Benefit They're Real mascara from an Ebay seller named "uptowngirlsbeauty" for $16.99. And I just received it in the mail freshly today. Unfortunately, this seller send me a fake product, I've already emailed her to request for a full refund and left a negative feedback. So coming up, is show you all how I could tell this item was fake.





To start it off, I think the seller was smart enough to use a REAL Benefit They're Real Mascara box to cover for the fake item inside the box, since I couldn't find any evidence that shows this box is fake.
The back of the box


Here it is, the fake mascara



At first, I was examining the product carefully since I see some black mascara marks ON the bottle, so I was just thinking it's an used item, and was thinking need to email seller, then I start to noticed more flaws.
Okay, so pay attention to those little words.
Pay attention to the website. Also the code of IB246


So here it comes, the most obvious hint that this is a FAKE item. Do you guys notice what's wrong with that? It says, beyonc mascara, instead of beyond mascara like what the box says. Nextly, the website on the bottle is : benefitcosmetica.com instead of benefitcosmetics.com. I'm pretty sure a real item would NOT list its' own company website wrong. And that the whole bottle overall, feels like it's made of cheap material. The code on the bottle is IB202 which is different from the box.

The sticker is on the edge, instead of the middle of the bottle.

Lastly, on the real mascara bottles, the entire neck area where it has the twisted marks, are suppose to be black colored, but this one is the same color as the bottle. Also, if you look care
fully, the "benefit" the 'e' is not in lined with the other letters. 

Okay, after this post, I hope you guys will be able to identity a fake Benefit They're Real mascaras out there on Ebay. Apparently, I am not the only one who've experienced this. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Ebay, and there's LOTS of REAL items on EBay, but I just got unlucky in this case. Hope you folks will never run into receiving a fake item in the mail! You never know what's the ingredients in a fake item, if you use it, your lashes might all break and fall out, who knows?
