Concealer | A few of my favorite things

Concealers are a very sure staple in beauty regime, I get dark circles and well it just isn't all too pretty, so I'm going to tell you a few of my favorites. There are some hight street and a couple of high end ones.



First off is my old faithful, I've been using it for years, and that's collections lasting perfection in shade fair or light, depending on the season. I use it everywhere, under my eyes, over blemishes and imperfections and anywhere I need it. It can get quite cakey if you apply too much, and crease unless you powder it, but it has amazing coverage which is what I need. Here

Next is a more lighter coverage concealer, but still a firm favorite is Bourjois healthy mix concealer. Again I use this where ever I need it, under eyes and blemishes. The only problem with this concealer is that it is very yellow toned, it doesn't bother me, but something to note. Here

Next is Benefits Boi-ing, A really pale, high coverage concealer, very similar to the collection one, just less cakey and drying. Here

And last but not least is Cliniques All about eyes concealer, quite like Bourjois, this one is quite yellow toned, but has a lot more coverage then the Bourjois offering, This one is currently my most used concealer. Even though it is for the eyes, it is still good for covering any imperfections. Here

As a side note, Another thing I want to mention is Garniers tinted eye roll on. I didn't want to include this with the others, because I don't use it as a concealer, I use it under my eyes to get rid of my dark circles before I put on my foundation. It is very pale so very good for brightening the under eye area.

Eyeliner | A few of my favorite things

Eyeliner is a day to day staple for me, if I'm not wearing it, then I'm having the laziest of lazy days, or i'm ill. Either way, It's would definitely be one of my 'desert island products' and these a few of my favorites and a small review on each. It may help to know that I wear eye primer with all of these, even if i'm not wearing eyeshadow because my eyelids are crazy oily.




1. Loreal superliner Black Lacqure.
This stuff LASTS. It's super black, waterproof, and smudgeproof and comes in a little dippy pot with a sponge applicator so is easy to apply.


2. Topshop Magic liner
My current favorite felt tip liner. I was shocked with how well this stuff lasts. It isn't waterproof, but is water resistant. I've worn this in light showers/misty crappy rain and no smudges at all. It's also super black.


3. Barry M Gel liner
Your basic gel liner, which is super black, easy to apply, and long lasting. except it's super cheap! I highly recommend this if you like gel liners.


4. Collection fast stroke eyeliner (NOT the waterproof version)
You don't get much more basic then this. It's a great, long lasting basic liquid liner, it's got a stiff brush, so that's something to consider. It has a matte finish.


5. Barry M liquid liner
This one is basically exactly the same as the collection fast stroke eyeliner except with a shiny finish.


6. Eyeko VisualEyes liner
This eyeliner doesn't have the greatest lasting power, it is improved greatly with primer though, but the main point to this one is that it is incredibly precise. It is shaped like felt tip liner, but it's actually a very precise brush.


7. Benefit They're real push up liner
For the price this is, I hate to say it, but it is amazing. It is kind of difficult to put on at the beginning, but it seriously LASTS.


These are the main eyeliners that I've been rotating lately, and I'd recommend any of them!
Let me know if you know of any little liner gems
