Review | Soap & Glory's Trick and Treatment




I am plagued with dark circles under my eyes and always have been. Whether I get four hours sleep or the 12 I used to get at university (those were the days!), I still end up with dark grey/purple shadows under my eyes. I'm not even kidding about always having them - this is me at around 5 or 6 years old:
Like I've been up all night...sigh.

I used to have this amazing colour correcting concealer palette from E.L.F but that dried up before I finished using it and I started just making do with Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer as an all-rounder.

Nothing at all against that concealer, since it is my favourite, but it cannot be expected to cover grey as well as it can cover my redness. As a result, I started looking for an under-eye concealer on the high street again and I found this absolute gem at Soap & Glory. 

I have already recommended this to all of my make-up minded friends and a couple of them have bought it themselves as a result. I haven't been able to stop raving about this product and I'm so glad I found it! It's the Soap & Glory Trick and Treatment Under Eye Dark Circle Concealer currently £9 at Boots


It's slightly yellow coloured which covers purple/grey shades to blend with your natural skintone. As a very pale person, I was worried that this would be a little too dark for me - especially since they don't seem to have any other shades. However, I find a thin layer of Collection's Lasting Perfection in Fair across the top allows it to blend seamlessly with my skintone. 




It has a thick consistency that offers a medium-heavy coverage without becoming cakey in any way. It also has a very light shimmer to it which helps to reflect light away from the dark circles and really brighten up the under-eye area. I tested it out in as natural a light as I can achieve in my little basement flat as I was putting on my makeup the other day. Here's my dark circles before:


And here's what they look like after using Soap & Glory's Trick and Treatment:


There's not a lot that I can do about the physical puffiness of my eyes, but you can see that the whole area has been brightened up and I'm near enough shadow-less! When I finished my whole makeup look, I felt like I looked 10x more awake than if I had just put my normal concealer on them so I'm definitely happy with this product.


This was actually the first Soap & Glory product that I've ever tried and I have to say I'm very impressed. Are there any Soap & Glory products that you've used that you'd recommend I try?
