Catrice Camouflage Concealer


MY OPINION


I am always on the hunt of good heavy coverage concealers to deal with my extremely bad dark circles. After wasting money on  Benefit Boi-ing(€22.00) I decided to stick with cheaper options and try one from Catric they are suppose t have good/great concealers




I have tired the Catrice All-In-One Concealer Palette  which is a great palette to have in your collection. I decided to chose the Catrice Camouflage Concealer. I bought one shade the lightest one, as I am very pale , to create a perfect match for my under eyes. If you have very bad dark circles, one of the good tips I have learned on the way is to use a concealer that matches your skin tone or is slightly darker. That way you won't be left with a grayish cast.




This concealer is just amazing,  Really! It lasts all day, covers all my dark circles and looks great and natural.  If any conealer actually hides and removes all traces of my dark circles, this is it. . This concealer is very creamy and thick enough to give pretty amazing coverage. It blends so nicely too. The only downfall is that it creases. It creases all throughout the day if not set properly. What I do is that after setting it with a pressed powder I always apply a neutral eyeshadow over it if I am not doing any eye makeup that day. That way it lasts a long time without creasing. 

This concealer is dirt-cheap and better than any high-end. I definitely, definitely recommend it to people who want high-coverage especially for under eye area.


CATRICE CLAIMS
A true must-have for a flawless complexion. The Camouflage Cream with a long-lasting texture blends perfectly with the skin for invisible correction. It reliably covers irregularities of the skin, pigmentation stains and red veins.

Clearasil Daily Clear Skin Perfecting Wash

 
 
 
Clearasil Daily Clear Skin Perfecting Wash is a great facial wash. It comes in a convenient pump action bottle. It is excellent to sit on the bathroom sink, ready to go. I decided to give the wash a try for a week to see what it was like.
I like to cleanse and exfoliate as part of my morning routine. I thoroughly wet my face and neck then add a small amount of the creamy cleanser, massaging in circular motions creating a rich lather. I can feel the tiny micro beads with the lathering massage. I like to massage for a couple of minutes on my face and neck to ensure my face is thoroughly cleansed and it also gives the micro beads a chance to exfoliate dead skin cells.
I then thoroughly rinse making sure all the wash is gone.
My skin feels taut, well cleansed, and smooth. My pores actually feel like they have had a good scrub, all the pore clogging oils and grime gone.
I make sure I moisturise after cleansing so my skin is soft and nourished.
I think the wash is worth a try if you suffer from breakouts and blackheads or you just want a thorough face cleanse.
Clearasil Daily Clear Skin Perfecting Wash can be purchased from Supermarkets and is Made in France.

Rimmel - Scandal Eyes Show Off Mascara



I got his mascara the other day, I just picked it up by chance and said I will try this, this mascara has a strange looking brush with a round bristly end. According to Rimmel, the flat brush volumes the lashes and the round brush at the end lifts and defines. When put to the test, this mascara was kinda hard to apply at first, I didn't really like the formula, I tend to like really wet mascaras and this was just not wet at all. But after a few tries of this, I worked out how to get the best of this product and that is the layer it on. I put on one coat wait about 30 secs then put on the next coat, this works so well and I can really see the benefits when I do this. 






My lashes have never looked so long, fluttery and volumised without looking like  fake eyelashes, which I love because I hate the process of applying fake eyeslashes, there just very messy and I hate the feel of them, So when this happened I was so happy because It is what I was exactly looking for.
I’m happy to say that I have found my new favorite mascara. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off Mascara has officially become my Go to mascara! The only downfall is that its not waterproof and in Ireland you need waterproof with all the rain and wind we get here.
