One of the items that was in my
June GlossyBox was a small starter kit for the VICHY Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream stick. The handy little kit contained 6 sample shades so you could find out what shade would provide you with perfect coverage.
The
VICHY Dermablend stick is marketed as a ‘corrective foundation’ to provide the most complete, natural looking coverage for face and body imperfections. It contains 40% pigment concentration which makes it ideal for camouflage of skin concerns such as dark circles, acne marks, scarring, bruising, redness and dark spots. It promises to be long lasting (up to eight hours) and it is fragrance-free, waterproof and smudge resistant
.
I think this would be a great foundation for someone with problem skin or if you prefer quite heavy coverage to block out any redness or pigmentation on your face. However for my complexion it seemed a little too heavy and creamy to apply all over my face so I decided to start using it as a concealer instead. And boy am I glad I did, this immediately became my favourite concealer! After trying a few of the shades I found that Nude (14) and Light (13) were most suited for me as a concealer to cover under eyes dark circles, spots and pigmentation; which I (unfortunately) get a lot more of during summer time.
So once my sample kit started running low I decided to buy the full VICHY Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream stick in Nude. It retails for £19 which is a bit more expensive than my usual MAC Studio Finish concealer (£14.50) but the Vichy stick is 12grams in comparison to 7grams for the MAC one so it will last me a lot longer!

Swatched and below blended out on my hand...
I normally just glide the stick under my eye and dab it in gently with my finger (you should never rub too much on the delicate skin area under your eyes) plus I apply it to any other small spots I might have and around the side of my nostrils. I am really happy I found this product so this does show the benefit of beauty box subscriptions like
GlossyBox because otherwise I probably would never have tried the VICHY Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Stick.
VICHY products are available online
here or you can find it at your local Boots store or
Boots.com.
If you want to try the sample kit first to play with the product and to find your perfect shade you can actually buy the little starter kit for £4.99 online, which I think is super handy! (

Have you ever tried any other VICHY products that you'd recommend?

i still havent opened my sample kit from glossybox but after reading this i think im going to go and give it a wirl. i have naturally dark circles which the bobbi brown correctors helps with but it is expensive for the little pot. nice review :-) x
I use mine as a foundation. I put a layer of baby lotion on first and then blend dermablend on. Then I use a concealer brush to cover all the blemishes. Works really well and I wouldn't use anything else now.
