The packaging consists of a small cardboard box which matches the rest of the range with its vintage styling and clever, punny text. Inside the box is the concealer compact itself, which is black and printed with pink and gold text. It looks classy and fits well with the rest of S&G's cosmetics range. The little compact opens to reveal a white powder, complete with a little "Soap & Glory"-embossed powder puff. This first layer lifts up to reveal two pans of creamy concealer, one more yellow-toned and one leaning more pink. The back of the compact explains how the product is meant to be used.
The powder puff supplied with the powder is quite difficult to use and I found it got grubby very quickly (although it cleaned up a treat when I washed it with the rest of my make-up brushes), so I started to apply using my Real Techniques Powder Brush instead; this brush is really far too big for such a tiny compact, but it does the job. I find the powder really helps to set the concealer and I don't get problems with it sitting in fine lines under my eyes, or sliding off any blemishes, which I have experienced in the past. I do tend to set the whole lot with my usual face powder over top, which might be a point to consider - although if your skin isn't oily enough to require this, it's probably not oily enough to melt the concealer off without!
The concealer lasts quite well and is still doing its job when I top my powder up around lunchtime, and usually lasts through the afternoon unless I'm doing something particularly strenuous; then it might require re-applying. All in all, I really like this concealer, I think it does a great job of hiding under-eye circles and a good job on general blemishes, and it's a good match for my skintone.

I promise I'm not just being really vain with all these photos of my face; I think the first two are hilarious! The sun was in my eyes so I was trying not to squint, resulting in a bit of a surprised expression... Soap & Glory Kick-Ass Concealer is available from Boots, priced at £10.What is your favourite concealer? Have you tried Soap & Glory's offering?
