I use concealer on certain parts of my face like under my eyes, on my brow bone but also like how they cover up those nasty blemishes, dark circles, redness and uneven skin tones. I'm always trying different concealers, to find something that camouflages dark circles and corrects blue undertones and shadows. So I couldn't say no to another concealer.

Many people have different ways of applying their concealer, I apply it after my foundation but before power. I find that I get better results that way, as I can highlight a lot easier and it can cover any skin imperfections that my foundation can't. I use the smallest amount and work it into my skin by using my finger or a buffing brush. 

Besides being a makeup product -  it helps improve those under eyes fine lines and skin texture over time. While it contains caffeine to stimulate circulation under your delicate eye area, reducing puffiness and the appearance of dark circles. Say goodbye to ghost face in photos, cause this concealer is camera perfect, no reflection with flashes.A little goes a long way, this tube will last you a year or more.

With a new manufacturing technology offers flexibility and longer wear, barely visible but corrects blue undertones and shadows. It's perfect for anyone that has oily skin which this product doesn't break down and look oily through out the day, it stays put.

Couleur Caramel: Dark Circle Concealer

AWARD WINNING CERTIFIED ORGANIC CONCEALER • Awarded By Beauty Heaven 

Let's talk Concealer! It's been such a huge must have product for me lately, as I work in retail, travel awhile to get there, I need something that's able to cover those dark circles under my eyes. 

COULEUR CARAMEL

Dark Circle Concealer

Natural Beige (118307)

RRP: $27.95

couleurcaramel.com.au

I have tried many products but none have won my heart as quickly as the Couleur Caramel Dark Circle Concealer did. 

The packaging of the box is Eco friendly, made with recycled cardboard then inside the product comes packaged in a small cardboard pot that can easily be rotated or pulled right off. 

The concealer itself is quite lovely and creamy, it effortlessly provides flawless coverage on my skin wherever it’s placed. On the skin it feels so light and my skin breathes easily. The texture is very smooth when you sweep your finger across the top of the formula. It stays firm on the skin, without the caking or excess build up. It covers those dark circles in seconds. 

Not only do I use this concealer underneath my eyes, but also my brow bone to give that flawless brow lift, eye lids to get a fuller pigments from my eye shadows and also to cover small pimples. The product does help with almost anything I use it for. 

I am really happy with its staying power too. I get day long coverage from the very first application. Doesn't need to be reapplied throughout the day. Super easy to remove at night, unlike most concealers that to stick to the creases or lines understand your eyes.

July Favourites (:

JULY!JULY!JULY! This year has gone so fast! When I look back, I honestly can't even remember what I've done, time really does fly. Anyways, instead of ramming on, ill just jump straight into my July Favourites!

Beauty Blender.

RRP: $24.95

Buy Here: - Crush Cosmetics

I haven't always been a huge fan of using sponges to apply my foundation cause it leaves my face very patchy, sticky and wears off. Seeing so many reviews on the beauty blender, that I honestly wanted to try it myself. To this day, I don't think I can live without it! Gives a great dewy finish without foundation lines, perfect coverage, gets right into the corners of your eyes. So easy to apply and I love how the sponge makes the foundation feel on my skin. Using this sponge has saved a lot of my foundation product, I just need one pump and it covers my whole face.

Toni & Guy Prep Protection Spray.

150.0ML - FULL SIZE.

RRP: $15.99

Buy Here: - Price Line

Before using, beware that there is a lock on this spray. I took me a month to notice that, I kept unscrewing the lid, just to use it. It's super easy to direct onto the hair, I spray on each section on my hair, while I straighten. This product has a sweet, honeydew smell to it, which wasn't the best at first, but I have gotten used to it now. It's very light / watery, doesn't have any stickiness or bulkiness while applying. I'm very happy with the results and how well it performs. Helps my hair look sleek, shiny and smooth. It actually does its job!

Essence Stay All Day 16HR Concealer.

8.0g - FULL SIZE

RRP: $4.25

Buy Here: - Price Line

For a very cheap concealer, it does amazing! I tend to use this only on days that I want a full coverage under my eyes, due to dark circles, bags or just tried eyes. The texture is very thick and creamy, so applying just a little would do the trick. I apply in dots, then use my beauty blender to dab into my skin. A few people use this before their foundation, but I've found that I get more results by applying it after my foundation & powder. So the look is still fresh. It smooths on nicely and does live up to 16HR, even more. Definitely lightens up my eyes, makes them look bigger and more awake.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow

RRP: $6.95

Buy Here: - Maybelline

love!love!love! I never cared much about my brows, don't get me wrong, I did shape them / wax. But it was the whole fill them, add colour, make them look longer etc. I was always like that's stupid, until I received this as a freebie item from a makeup site. At first I wasn't to sure about how they looked, didn't know how much to fill in, how dark I should apply it. It was almost so hard for me. Haha. But after awhile, I got the hang of it. Small lines, darker in the arch, longer on the ends. It ended up looking clean, neat and gorgeous looking. I loved how it looked natural. It was super easy to apply and I loved the comb at the end to help define and shape your brow. Most importantly it is very long lasting and doesn't smudge which is perfect for me because I work in retail, with long shifts.I need something that won't come off when I sweat, plus it is very affordable comparing to other brands. 

So that's it for my July Faves, hope you all enjoy August! Can't wait to discover more products through out this month. Xox

5 Beauty Products I've Finished - May 2013

5 Beauty Products, I've Finished. - May 2013

 Vera Wang; Preppy Princess:
I was given this as a Christmas present last year. I've always loved Vera Wang, and trying Preppy Princess for the first time, was exciting. This smells exactly how you'd imagine a preppy girl smelling- one of those girls who shops at the high end store, maybe upper-middle class, gets good grades in school, hold hands with her boyfriend at the park. It's a fresh scent, not obnoxiously flowery or sweet- it's young and innocent but suitable for a woman of all ages.

Swisspers; Facial Cleaning Wipes.
I've tried the other Swisspers wipes before (green tea and cucumber) but this one is the best in terms of the smell. I really like the fresh scent. Unlike many other wipes I've tried, Swisspers is perfect for me, coz the wipes are not too soggy - they just have the right amount of the cleansing stuff on it. And it does remove make up pretty well too! This is a great thing to use when you're just lazy to remove your make up at night. Plus, I never find a need to apply moisturiser after using this. 

Maybelline New York: Fit Me Pressed Powder (Sand Beige)
The package is very inviting, it's small but cute. The only thing I hated about the package, was that you had to keep flipping the powder up, just to use the mirror. Which would leave me covered in powder, if I didn't clean it up. Besides that, the formula was very lightweight, didnt make my face, look cakey or patchy. Blends very well with my foundation and other beauty products I use. 

Australis : Eyeshadow Primer.
FINALLY!!! I have been looking high and low for something to stop my oily lids from gathering eyeshadow in the creases and ruining my hard work! I decided to give this a go, despite it being considered a budget brand and I was excited to find that it does its job to perfection. I have worn this almost everyday for 8 hours with no fading whatsoever, just a dab on each lid, gently massage it in. Eyeshadow will not budge. I also have sensitive eyes and this is gentle as can be! Packaging is super cute, I love how Australis make all their products look alike (MAC inspiration?) Hot pink bottle with a black lid and doe foot applicator. 

Maybelline New York: Dream LUMI Touch. Highlighting Concealer.
this product is amazing. I used it every single day. It was easy to apply and looked amazing blended in. I used it under my eyes, brow bone, down my nose and a little on my chin. Even though it says "concealer" it looked more like a bright highlighter. To be honest, I truly felt like I could pull off Kim Kardashian's  hight light / contour look. The texture was very creamy and was quick to dry, so you have to be super quick to blend into the skin. It didn't look cakey or to light for my skin. It was perfect shade to lighten dark areas and make my features stand out.
