Hey there! Take a closer look at the City Color Correct and Perfect Palette

My Take

You can see on my photos below that I have quiet a bad case of dark under eyes and I am always on the lookout for affordable products that can correct the problem. Or if not, just help lessen it. I found out about this product while checking out the stuff at MakeUpInboxPh. I was available on pre-order and took about a month to arrive, fresh from the US. When it finally did, I was so excited to try it out.

It comes in a not-so-durable plastic packaging with a transparent cover and I recon that it can't survive a drop. It comes with a brush that actually works well with the product so I decided to keep it instead of tossing it.

It smells plasticky, but it doesn't linger. It has a creamy consistency and blends well on my baggies, even without an under-eye moisturizer. My only problem is the color pay-off of the product. And no matter how many times you layer it on, it won't give better coverage.

List of ingredients

Here are the swatches and you can see that they are very light on my skin. 

Swatches: Pink, Orange, Green, Yellow, and Lavender

Upon blending, you can hardly tell if which color is which.

Swatches blended out.

I tried using the orange on my dark under eyes. You can see that it has lightened the darkness a bit, but I think that the coverage is still not enough as it turned my under eyes into an ashy shade. I tried layering the product but it produced the same results. I tend to sweat in that area a lot so it didn't take long before the product slipped off. It's always great if you can set it with  a yellow-toned powder.

Applied and blended the orange corrector on my baggies.

Overall, I'm not so happy with my purchase. :( I am just not contented with the coverage. But for the price, you get what you pay for. I've also tried the Green one for redness on my face due to pimples but it also  didn't perform well.

My bad though. I think I was impulsive again when making this purchase. 'Correct and Perfect',  yeah it corrected for a bit, but definitely no perfect. :)
