Review | La Girl HD Concealer in Toast, Chestnut & Toffee

Hey guys! 

Quick review... These concealers are so popular that I really don't think there's any need to spend time doing a long "introduction"

LA Girl PRO conceal HD concealers have been compared to MAC prolong wear and make up for ever full coverage concealers by so many people so I knew I had to give it a try.

Unfortunately, testers are a myth here in Nigeria so I had to rely on dear old google and YouTube for swatches and shade recommendations.

After much research I settled on these shades




In descending order - Chestnut, Toast and Toffee

I use Chestnut or Toast for my face.
Toffee is used as an under eye highlight
 "Fawn" is another option for highlighting but I cannot find that shade anywhere :( I even stumbled on Toffee by luck.

i like the consistency of this concealer it is liquid but not runny which is good. It dries to a matte finish, it's long wearing with minimal creasing (under eye area) coverage is decent and a little goes a long way. 
I do not use the brush attached to blend i use either my fingers, a brush or a beauty blender. These definitely get my stamp of approval. 

Price: 1,200 (Poise) / 1,500 (Gifty's daughter) I purchased mine from Poise as Gifty's daughter didn't have any of the shades I wanted at the time I stopped by.

Availability isn't the best. It took me two separate trips to get these tubes. Poise has a lot of darker shades like Chestnut, Toast, Beautiful bronze and Dark Cocoa ( I'm sure I picked up the last tube of Toffee)
Gifty's daughter has lighter shades like Warm sand, Pure beige etc. 

Thanks for stopping by,

  1. Try Stella's Addiction, she might have some Fawn left.

  4. I currently use these concealers and I loovvveee!
    I use them just to highlight my brows and sometimes my face.
    I initially got Fawn because YouTube, but it's so light for my dark skin so I got Chestnut which I use to highlight my brows and I can be sure there isn't some scary halo.
    I also got their orange corrector but it's a bit darker than the mac prep and prime and can be somewhat too opaque.
    I got mine from shop.zlanche on IG
