Revlon PhotoReady Concealer

Today I am going to review the Revlon photo ready concealer in light. I don't have very problematic skin so when it comes to using concealers I wear them under the eyes to cover up any dark circles. This one has been perfect for doing this, it blends well and has good coverage. I only need about two/three dots of it to cover under my eye. It is in a stick formation which makes it incredibly easy to use. All I do is dab it on to my face and then use my ring finger to blend it in under my eye and a little bit into the crease and eyelid. Its a very creamy formulation which isn't drying on the skin but doesn't creating any excess oil on your face through the day. It also has SPF 20 in it, BONUS!

 Nice packaging, very compact and fits perfectly into my handbag

 Lots of product in the stick

 I'm in the shade 002 light

Swatch of it on the back of my hand

In the swatch above you can see that it matches my skin tone nicely, although i'm concerned it could be too light for the summer months. Overall though i like the packaging and the way it works on my skin. 

Thanks for reading,

Rebel!

Being an avid collector of MAC lipsticks I had to get on the blogger hype and see what the Rebel lipstick was all about. To be honest the colour terrified me and still takes me needing a bit of confidence to wear out. The shade is a deep berry purple that suites the winter months perfectly. The lipstick has a satin finish and stays on for a few hours although it does need to be reapplied after eating and drinking unless you like dark berry rings around your lips!

Ahhhhh beautiful packaging, I wonder what could be inside!

MAC lipstick in the colour Rebel

Swatch on my arm

I found that the colour appears darker in the tube than it does when applied. On my skin it compliments the tones and appears less scary than before. It's also more of a berry/ dark pink colour but has the option to be built up with reapplying. 

REBEL on my lips

Overall I love this lipstick for a night out, it has the ability to instantly make you feel sexy! Its a bit of a nightmare to remove as all dark lipsticks are so I recommend a lip liner before application. 

Go grab it from your local MAC counter and give it a try :)

Feelin' girly

I've had these two nail polishes sitting in my collection for a while ..... collecting dust. When it comes to polish I tend to gravitate towards darker shades, glitter or holographic. So these pinks aren't usually my go to shade. I haven't purchased a new polish in a while and felt like a change on my fingers when these two caught my eye. It gave me the idea to try them together!

Left; OPI Princesses Rule! Right; Mod About You

Princesses Rule is a sheer pink with tiny silver glitters in it. The constancy is great like most OPI nail polishes and covers the nail after one layer. Mod About You is a pale milky pink. Its extremely opaque and would be fine with just one layer but I prefer two just to build the colour a little bit more. 

The colour combo on my nails

Together they create a girly look which isn't overly flashy like most pinks on the market and still looks classic. I've received quite a few compliments on this pairing as well! What do you think about my nail combo?
