Yardley Stayfast CoverFlage Concealer

Its no secret .. I've probably purchased like 90% of all the Yardley products out there.
Its great quality for a budget buy !!

So what makes this concealer different from all the other great budget buys out there?
Yes you will find great concealers that closely match up to this like your LA Girl and the likes but i especially love this one because of the versatility.

Yup you heard me versatility. I use this as a
1. Spot concealer for those unexpected days
2. Under eye concealer
3. For Perfect Eyebrows - because its a roll up retractable concealer i use it to easily highlight the area around my brows for perfect brows.

when Yardley says Stayfast they really mean it with this one !
It comes in a range of shades (mines being dark) so you'll definitely find one to suit your skin tone.
Oh did i mention its suuuuper affordable? well it is

Available at Clicks and Dis-chem Pharmacies

I was eager to try this, perhaps over eager as I bought 4 shades. I don't like the feel. It does feel a bit heavy on my skin. I like that it's retractable and slim. The packaging is definitely eye-catching. I was disappointed and don't think that I will buy this again.

I really like using this concealer. It did a great job of covering up all my imperfections. It has a nice creamy consistency and gives medium to full coverage. It comes in a nice retractable packaging which makes life a little easier. I used mine exactly 58 days before it was empty. And I mean 58 days of applying makeup. I will definitely repurchase it again.

It has been a life long mission of mine to cover up my blemishes and especially my racoon eyes! I am one of those unfortunate ones...no matter what I do, after a few hours of wearing cover up or foundation, my dark circles begin to show! But then I discovered Yardley Stayfast CoverFlage Concealer and my racoon eyes are a thing of the past, well at least when I am wearing my Yardley Stayfast CoverFlage Concealer.

This concealer comes in an easy to use stick that looks like a slim chubby stick and the concealer glides on very easily. The best part for me is that the concealer does not cake or dry out on my skin as my previous concealers have done. I love the nourishing avocado and olive oils as well as the added vitamins C and E. At this price, the Yardley Stayfast CoverFlage Concealer is an absolute steal as it is not only affordable but it is long lasting too as you only use a very small amount each time you apply. This is definitely a staple in my makeup bag, don't leave home without it!

I was feeling a little adventurous when I bought Yardley StayFast CoverFlage concealer. I was disappointed with my previous concealer and wanted to try something different.

It was worth the gamble, as it turned out to be one of the best concealers that I have ever tried.

Firstly, the packaging caught my eye. The concealer is packaged similarly to a lipstick or lip balm – in a slim retractable tube. I loved the fact that I did not need any additional applicators to apply the product. As it meant that I could quickly and directly apply the product while getting ready for work in the mornings and easily re-apply the product at work, should I need to do so throughout the day.

Secondly, for R69.95 (bought at Edgars) it did not seem like an expensive concealer. Especially since it promised to provide anti-aging effects, UV protection as well as skin nourishment through avocado oil, olive oil and Vitamins E and C.

Thirdly, I was impressed by the product's overall effectiveness. I have probably said this a thousand times, but I don’t like wearing a lot of makeup, so I was impressed by how little of the product you needed to cover up most imperfections, including dark under eye circles, redness around the nose and pimples. Other concealers I have used have felt heavy and even sticky, but this one felt soft and practically "invisible".

The concealer glided on easily and with my fingers I perfectly blended it over my imperfections. It wasn't cakey, nor did it crack, smudge or fade (Tip: I always apply a generous amount of moisturizer before applying foundation and concealer).

Lastly, the small tube lasted me months and in the end I found myself scratching every last bit out of the tube.

I always make sure that I have a concealer stick around for the convenience and the fact that as an adult woman my stupid hormones decided that I should still have the joyful experience of break-outs on my face at a certain time of the month...how lucky am I ;-).....;-(....:-p.

Here are my thoughts on this product:
1) I am using the 00 Light for my fair skin. It is available in 6 shades: Light, Medium, Medium Dark, Beige, Tan and Dark.
2) I love the convenience of the retractable stick in a user-friendly tube that is easy to pop into your handbag. It is the size of a slim lipstick.
3) The coverage is great & it glides on effortlessly.
4) It blends well.
5) When I do have red or irritated skin, the aloe, Vitamins and oils in the product really soothes the skin.
6) Great for blending under the eye area and even as highlighter above cheekbones and under eyebrows.
7) It really stays on and on and on, even in the most humid warm weather.
8) The price is great & one uses such a little at a time that this tube will last forever - extremely cost-effective.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Got to have it & will never be without it again!
