MAC Mineralize Concealer

MAC is such a popular brand, certainly loved in the beauty world. You can imagine my excitement when I received a MAC product in a prize that I had won on Beauty Heaven.
MAC Mineralize Concealer
MAC Mineralize Concealer has been formulated with minerals to give a creamy finish that is easy to blend and hydrating to the skin. It comes in a 5ml tube, that is compact, so great for storage and travel.

The product is beautifully creamy without being thick.

I found that best coverage for me was achieved by applying using the brush, then using a clean concealer brush to blend. I found this to be a better finish compared to blending with my fingers, which seemed to decrease the coverage.

Although this concealer did a decent job of covering blemishes, the winner for me is concealing my terribly dark under eye circles. I just loved how the concealer blended beautifully over my under eye area. The creamy consistency did not appear to settle into lines. This area of my face is dry compared to the rest, so the hydrating formula is perfect, it seemed to give this darker area a lightening effect, due to the dewy finish. It still looked hydrated, even with a dusting of powder over top. The powder prevents this concealer from going any where.

I can see why MAC Mineralize Concealer is so well loved. It certainly is a lovely product. Personally, with MAC's prices, I believe that I can find just as good a product for a cheaper price...I'll let you know ;)

 What's your go-to concealer?

    Oh wow the finish of this concealer looks fantastic. Most concealers I've tried have dried under my eyes in the most unflattering way. Currently I'm using the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer which I've heard tonnes of rave reviews but I'm not entriely convinced with it. I feel the consistency is way too thin and not doesnt really cover my dark circles. I need to try the Mac concealer one day.

      Well, that's interesting, because after the wonderful things I'd heard, Age Rewind was going to be my next purchase. My search will continue..or maybe I should just stick to what I know works. Thanks for your comment, Wendy xx

      It is quite good, I've never really developed a love for MAC, not sure why, because I've heard such great things.

    This concealer looks right up my ally! I love moisturising concealers since my under eye area is quite dry, and the finish of this looks lovely! Also, I'm loving your purple eyeliner, it really makes your brown eyes stand out!

    Hey Indie, I received this in my Blogstar box of goodies - I love the texture but the colour I have isn't quite right, easily solved though :-) I've never gotten into MAC products either - I can't live without the matte Omega shadow I used for my contouring, but that's about it ♥

      I somehow ended up with a MAC palette, but I'm not sure it's even genuine. There's so many wonderful cheaper brands, isn't there? :)

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
