NARS - RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER REVIEW

NARS 

Radiant creamy concealer review

In shade Light 2 VANILLA £22.00

As I mentioned before with my previous post when it comes to make up I do tend to stick with the products I know, Like A creature of habit I buy them over and over again. Sad really as it means I never try a new brand or products. I am slowly getting better with this, having turned away my 'boi-ing' concealer by benefit I have made a fantastic switch to NARS. 

This concealer is £22 to buy instead of the boing from benefit at £17.50 so a tiny bit more expensive but really worth it. Don't get me wrong the benefit one covers imperfections and great for under the eye but this NARS one does that and more. It gives you a added boost of radiance and also works as a highlighter to help contour your features. 

It is very easy to apply with the applicator wand, straight onto of foundation onto the face. I usually blend this in with my fingers of using a blending sponge. They both give the same results.

For best results I do reapply this under my eyes every 5 hours or so,  just to brighten them up a little. 

The benefits 

There are a few things that make this concealer special, for a start it is enriched with multi action skincare benefits and light diffusing technology. It create a smoother and a lot softer complexion while instantly diminishing fine lines and signs of fatigue. Which lets face it when we are tired we need something that does this! 

My views on this, well I love it. I love the packaging, I love the colour, the texture, the fact it works! its a all rounder!

REVIEW - Laura Mercier silk creme moisturising photo edition foundation.

LAURA MERCIER FOUNDATION REVIEW 

Silk creme moisturising photo edition foundation £35.00

This little gem is worth every single penny, Now don't me wrong I always in the past have stuck with my trusted Maybelline matt mousse foundation and have used it for around six whole years. However I have seen so many of you bloggers swear by NARS foundations I just had to make a trip into my local Space NK in cheltenham to see what the fuss was about.

Yes, so I went in with the intention of buying a NARS foundation but after speaking to a lovely girl we decided a Laura Mericer one would be better suited to me as I suffer with terrible dry itchy skin. I had heard of her brand but I had never used it and once she put a little on my face, I was sold. 

This product gives you full coverage while moisturising the skin and giving it that lovely finish, perfect for pictures, You find a little goes along way too. I picked on of the lightest shades called rose ivory as I have a cool complexion. Packaging itself is just gorgeous however I would like it to be a little bigger for what I am paying for it, but its so gorgeous I don't think I can complain. It is a lovely consistency so very easy to apply with a sponge, brush or even the fingers which I ALWAYS use.

I will admit I have had it almost a month now, yes I'm so behind with my posts it is unreal. Anyway I have had it almost a month and I am halfway through which seems like it will work out to be a little costly but I will see how it goes. 

Here are some before and after shots of the foundation.

As you can see fantastic coverage in a lovely colour, When I originally purchased this I saw a lot of you guys start to blog about it, So I am not sure if it is new or not, Someone please tell me and let me know. However overall with this product if you are after a more nourishing hydrating which helps with overall colour correction. This one will be perfect for you.

 OCTOBER GOODIES 

I am one of these bloggers who goes shopping buys things and never blogs about them, I buy most of them with the intention of doing a post. Just cant seem to get around to it. Anyway I was for shopping with my sister for halloween treats and nibbles when I came across the make up counters, DUN DUN DUN and there was a slight sale on! 

Which means I got some super duper sales

Maybelline - SuperStay7 nail polish in shade 

- Rose Poudre 130

This was £2.00 Absolute bargain if you ask me! 

It comes in beautiful pale almost like a grey pink matt finish. Which is fantastic as it looks like a gel, Might have to go and stock up on these bad boys. 

Maybelline - Lipliner 

Lip liners in shade, 

- Sweet Pink 

- Pleasure me red

I have got this huge thing for lipliners, It makes your lips look fuller and makes your lipstick line absolutely perfect. My favourite one Sweet pink was only £1.00 ahh sweet sales...

Maybelline - Colour sensational lipstick

In shade, HoneyBeige

£3.50

Again a very pretty nude colour, Looks incredible with the lip liner.

However the staying power in this lipstick in shocking, When applying it sort of has a greasy feel which I don't like, But for the pretty colour I will put up with it. 

Move over batiste  

I have a new favourite dry shampoo and it is wonderful!

Cost wise it is about the same, This doesn't have the potent fruity smell that comes with Batiste However it is mega powerful and works as soon as you spray it into the root. Perfect if you have very fine hair and you are after a little bit of volume. Also if you have to leave for work super early and you're rushed

£4.00

Last bit of my little buying spree in Sainsburys my favourite foundation,  Matt Mousse this time in shade 

Sandy

A gorgeous foundation that I always go back too!
