Review - Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer

                                            
I've been a big fan of Soap and Glory for ages and always buy their body lotions, scrubs etc, so I was really excited when I heard they'd brought out a make-up range.  I'm also a sucker for their quirky and fun packaging. The one thing I wanted to try was their new concealer kit called  'Kick Ass Concealer' and by gorra it lives up to its name. It comes in 2 shades Light or Medium. I bought it in the shade Light and it cost 11.50 euro in Boots.
It is a concealer kit consisting of 2 concealer shades Step 1 is a salmon-toned concealer for dark circles under the eyes. Step 2 (in the pan on the right) is a yellow-toned blemish/redness concealer perfect for spots and broken capillaries. Step 3 is a translucent setting powder, which can be applied using the teeny powder puff supplied. The packaging is really good and sturdy and it has a brilliant mirror on the top of it which is so handy to have in your handbag. The Light shade I think would suit someone very fair to fair, about a NC15 to NC25 from MAC and the medium would be perfect from NC30 to NC40 from MAC. Its awful that they don't seem to have a shade for anyone darker than this I hope Soap & Glory will eventually bring out more shade variations.
The concealers themselves are really good and do exactly as they advertise.The concealer for under the eyes Step 1 is an almost dupe for Bobbi Brown Concealers, its really smooth and not one bit drying. It also lasts without caking in the lines. The concealer from Step 2 is a really good yellow based concealer that covers redness and is pretty heavy duty. The powder then in step 3 is a light powder that's really handy to have in any bag and I use it for my t-zone as well if on the go.
I'm so impressed with this concealer kit and I will definitely pick up the Medium version. This is a brill treat to have in your bag and I'm looking forward to trying some more of their makeup products.
