Recently, I've made a trip to Sephora and managed to finally do a swatch on the insanely popular Tarte Shape Tape concealer. Even though it has already been released in the US for a few years (since 2016!!), it's only arrived at our shores not too long ago. After swatching them on, I could tell why it was so popular. The coverage is really good wand when blended out, it made my skin look incredible.

But I'd missed out on buying it during the Sephora sale a few days earlier, because I didn't have the time to go down to the store for a swatch. And I didn't really want to fork out $42 on the Shape Tape when I could have gotten it at a few dollars off if I had bought it a few days earlier. Besides, it's not like I ran out of my concealers - in fact I have quite a few lying around, unfinished.

I was getting pretty bummed out the day after, and the acne scars that I've gotten recently were staring at me in the mirror- a painful reminder of the sale I've missed out. I was rummaging through my makeup drawer when I re-discovered the CosRX Clear Fit Spot concealer that I had been using a few months back, and remembered how much I loved it - full coverage & it's pretty affordable too!

I brought this once when I went overseas, and it's now been the only concealer I bring overseas (Yeah, I've totally forgot about it because it's in a make up pouch that I use when I travel). This was enough to not only cover up any blemishes I had but was good enough as a base as well. Because it leaves a really nice velvety finish on my skin, it was all I used - dabbed it on the spots/acne marks that I had to cover up, then blend it out to make it look more natural and tada! Makes me look like I have great skin already. The only downside for me is that this product only comes in 2 shades (21 & 23), and I am unfortunately neither. Because I'm in between these 2 shades, I have to mix them together to match my own skin tone. But other the trouble of having to buy 2 of them, I'd say this product is pretty much a yes from me. Really highly recommend it, especially when the shades are just nice for you! If you are residing in Singapore, you can test them out at selected Watsons (try the one at Bugis junction!). It's also easily available online on Shopee/Lazada as well as in Aland in Korea (for sure).

Let me know if it works for you too!
