No7 Instant Radiance Under Eye & Match Made Concealers*

My regular readers will know how much I adore the No7 range by Boots, especially the Match Made Service and when I was asked to review their concealer range for my blog I already new that I wouldn't be disappointed.
My skin colour is Calico in the foundation shades which I blogged about here, so having already knew that, it was fool proof that the concealers would match.
The Instant Radiance Under Eye Concealer is quite creamy when applied and I feel it's the same formulation as YSL Touche Éclat and even has the same brush applicator, but way less in price at £13.50. This aims to disguise dark circles as does the YSL. The Match Made Concealer is thicker in texture and dries quickly when blended and is shine free to cover pesky blemishes and age spots. £7.50 in 17 shades. Both are available to buy now and currently on a 3 for 2.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

I recently fell back in love with the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, after basically forgetting about it. How does this happen? Well, my make up bag is so full and unorganised that it simply fell to the bottom. I started to have good skin days and not needed it. Until now, where I've had a couple of break outs on my chin as I've been feeling unwell these last few days.
This has been compared to the Collection (formally Collection 2000) Lasting Perfection Concealer, and it's pretty much an exact match, but slightly more money.

As you can see, it blends extremely well. My skin tone is fair and I use the shade 15. It's available in 6 shades and costs around £5.99 for 6.8ml, and always avaible Boots and Superdrug where it's stocked.
All in all a good product that I would buy again and highly recommend.

Any cheap and cheerful concealers you love to use?

Seventeen Phwoarr Paint

This little pot of under eye concealer has been blogged about within an inch of its life over the last few months. Wondering what all the fuss was about, I had to try it for myself. Hailed as a must have make up item, I was desperately wanting this to be good. But it wasn't.
As an under eye concealer, I actually think it's pretty pants. The product applies nicely and smoothly, but after about an hour it dries terribly to a caked on look that it made me look like I had tram lines under my eyes. I know I'm in my early thirties and have had many sleepless night since my daughter was born, but this makes my under eyes look so much worse.
However, as a general facial concealer its not that bad. Great for time of the month chin blemishes and side of the nose redness, I would use it for. Under the eyes? Nah!
It is only available in two shades - why? Priced at £5.49 you can buy it here. This will last me quite awhile but when it finishes I will most definitely not be repurchasing.
Any products you've tried that aren't worth the hype?
