My Favourite Concealers for under £10

Concealer has to be one product i feel like i use the most, i have gone through more concealers than any other product. Apart from using them to highlight, my skin is prone to acne so covering a good old spot is a part of my make up routine. What makes me fall in love with a concealer is the pigmentation, texture and how easy it is to blend. I can safely say i have tried most concealers under £10 have narrowed my favourite down to just two concealers. Both are perfect for highlighting as well as hiding those dark circles.

1. Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer – £7.99 – Available in Boots and Superdrug, unfortunately i can only find this in 2 shades. I do wish the colour selection was larger. This formula is amazing as it is very light weight and has excellent coverage.
2. NYX HD Concealer  – £5.50 – Available in Boots, the shade variety is really good plus it comes in a green and purple shade for colour correcting. I adore this formula, it is so pigmented and creamy, hides all those unwanted dark circles and blemishes. A must have and for £5.50 it’s a real steal.

Would love to hear about your favourite concealers?

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

NYX has finally arrived to the great British high street! After hearing so many good reviews about NYX all i have ever wanted to do is try all their products and now i can. I am already a huge fan of their HD concealer and Butter lip glosses, if you have not tried them you need to run out and get them. Boots currently stock NYX and have rolled out NYX stands to a lot of their stores, i am not sure how many stores but most Boots stores i have visited have this brand new delicious stand.

After carefully deciding and testing everything i brought 2 matte lip creams in the shades Istanbul and Stockholm. Istanbul is a cool medium pink tone and Stockholm is a medium tone with peach undertones both are beautiful colours. These lip creams are so creamy and comfortable to wear and are very pigmented. The formula is lovely and easy to apply, these creams set to a matte finish and last about 5- 6 hours, perfect for a girls day out.

The packing is very simple but elegant and the lip creams come in many different colours, so there is a colour for everyone. I also think the price point is very reasonable for £5.50 this product is a real steal. I would highly recommend this product and cannot wait to buy more colours to add to my collection, any recommendations?

L’oreal Nude Magique Cushion Review

Everything i want always gets released in the USA before the UK, so when L’oreal finally released it’s cushion foundation in the UK i went out and brought it straight away. I have had it for a while and am truly addicted, so i thought i would share my love for this foundation. Maybe when they finally release the Pro Glow foundation in the UK it might be my new favourite.

The packaging is beautiful, the cushion foundation is so compact and easy to travel with as it is mess free. It comes in 7 shades and i brought the colour golden beige which is the perfect colour match for my skin tone. The foundation claims to have a dewy glow finished and it does. This foundation is a medium coverage foundation, perfect for the summer months, I love the way it makes my skin look so fresh and natural. It comes with an applicator which does not look great but with my brush i am able to create a flawless finish. So i would recommend this foundation, it is as good as a high end brand.
