Next up is essence Forget It! 3 in 1 Concealer!
Available at Ulta for under $3.00, what a great bargain for this concealer! It is a 0.12oz/3.5g size in a clear plastic container. Each color does have it's purpose: "use pink against circles around the eyes, use beige against blemishes, use green against redness". The consistency is very creamy and light. I would recommend using a brush or makeup sponge for maximum coverage. Also, a powder to lock it in would help.
I have a medium skin-tone and it covered my dark under-eye circles and red blemishes very well. I think it would be even better on fair skin. Below are my before and after pictures...
Now, this is with no other makeup added. My skin looks much more even. I did apply a powder and the application lasted well for about 8 hours before I started to notice any need for touch up!
I think the only issue I had was that the container is slightly hard to open, you have to press in on a little "button" to release it, but in the same sense it also stays securely closed. Definitely not a big enough issue not to purchase this. Another plus is the smaller size, making it ideal to toss in your purse for anytime use. Overall, I am pleased with the 3 in 1 foundation and will continue to use it!

essence Reviews
Hi beauty lovers! I'm going to start off with reviewing the German line, essence.
First up is essence Cover Stick
This is in the color 01 Matt Sand. As I have a slight olive skin tone, this may not be the best color for me, but I tried it out regardless! The stick twists up and is a hard cream, like many cover sticks. I used my finger for application. Below I show you : Before (no makeup), right eye only, and the 3rd picture is both eyes and blemishes...
As you can see, there is quite a difference! This is not the "best" cover stick or under-eye solution I have used, but for approximately $1.99 I'd say it's a pretty good bargain! It is definitely tough for the under eye area, left creases noticeable, but it is workable. I preferred it on blemishes which you can see a comparison between the top and bottom photo. Essence is available at Ulta.
If you've tried one of these cover sticks, let me know what you think!
