Stila - One Step Correct

I really like this one step corrector.

This is a one step corrector, "triple-swirled helix serum that instantly colour corrects, brightens, primes, and nourishes the skin. On top of the immediately gratifying benefits, the infusion of Stila's exclusive Youth Revival Bio-Available Mineral Complex—improves skintone, evens out the complexion, and helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles." (from the Sephora website www.sephora.com). This contains 30mL of product and it took me 3 months to use (using it 5 times a week).

Reasons why I like it:
- The packaging is really nice. I like how you can see the serum and the three correcting swirls. You can also see when you're running out as it's a pump and the inside bottom part moves up to the top as you keep using the product.
- It goes on smoothly, since it's a serum, as a nice base before foundation.
- I believe it does make a difference to my skin which is noticeable once I apply my foundation. It helps create a more flawless look.

Areas for improvement:
There aren't too many. If you expect this product to help conceal zits or if you have very red patches on your face then this product won't fix these problems and you should invest in an appropriate concealer. If you have some light uneven skin tone then you'll like this product. I'm not sure if it improved my skin tone in the long run as it claims.

Price: US$36.00. I bought this in Sephora in Hawaii when the AU$1 was something crazy like... US$1.10! So I was super happy. If you buy it here in Mecca (at Myer in Sydney CBD or the Mecca store at The Galleries Victoria just to name a few) you'll pay AU$58.00! Ah! It still amazes me how much we pay on make up here in Australia!

If this product was cheaper in Australia, I'd buy it again. However, it's not and sometimes I just can't be bothered to try and find a cheap one on eBay etc. I've also been told that on some websites, the products aren't genuine.

P.S - I am currently trying out some South Korean products I picked up from Alice's Diary (in World Square, ground floor near the Pitt St & Liverpool St exit). They sell a bunch of South Korean beauty products, make up and clothes.
