Review: Revlon Colorstay concealer

Hello!

Today I am going to be reviewing the Revlon Colorstay concealer. I purchased this concealer in the shade 06 Deep as I was on the lookout for a new concealer. It is quite difficult for women with darker skin tones to find a highlighting concealer as it is hard to find a light concealer with warm undertones, while light concealers with cool undertones are a plenty. This concealer is around medium coverage and can be applied on blemishes as well as under the eyes as it does not crease when set with powder.

 

Views of the packaging

 

 

 It is not particularly watery or thick and has a very slight medicinal smell. It comes in a compact container and has a lip gloss type applicator typical of a drugstore concealer. Overall I think this is a great concealer and terrific value for money (it retails at £7 in Boots) as I have tried many concealers at a much higher price which are the same or even less quality than this one.

Review: YSL Touche Eclat Foundation

Hello! Welcome to my blog, for my first post I am going to be reviewing my favourite foundation and quite a popular product amongst other beauty bloggers.



The packaging

The YSL Touché Éclat foundation has created quite a buzz since it launched in July 2012 and I can see why. I love this foundation because when it is on my skin it feels, well, like skin! It is ultra-lightweight but still gives me enough coverage to conceal the discolouration on my cheeks and even out my skin tone. I would say that this is initially a light-coverage foundation but can be built to medium-coverage. It has a watery light consistency, which is why it feels so light in the skin. On the skin (applied with a brush) it has a gorgeous luminescent finish which glows beautifully. Due to the fact it is quite lightweight I wouldn’t recommend this for people who have problematic skin as it will not cover your blemishes enough. Also, I would not recommend this to people with oily skin because it will look greasy and will not last long. Overall, when set with powder, it seems to last fairly well and stay on throughout the day with any issues.

It would be great for any young person for their first foundation.  It has beautiful, classic YSL packaging with a clear glass bottle and a gold top. This is a high end foundation so has a fairly steep price of £30 but I think it is well worth it!

Thanks for reading!
