Catrice Cosmetics: All Round Concealer Palette




Well hello,

I have been passing by this product for a while. But lately my dark under eye circles have been bothering me more and more. I haven't heard any good reviews about this one but I couldn´t seem to find anything similar in the drugstore. So I decided to give it a go.

This compact concealer comes in 5 shades. Three beige tones for concealing blemishes, a green shade to counteract redness and lastly a pink shade to hide the dark under eye circles. First I want to mention that the formula is quite creamy, It slightly melts from the warmth of the hands. I find it quite sheer but buildable to some extent. However I wouldn't use it on the blemishes. But it works as an under eye concealer. Between three beige shades the middle one suits me the best, the lightest one is just a bit too light, It will definitely suit light complexion. The darkest one is a bit too dark, perhaps I can use it in the summer time. The one thing great about having these three shades is that you can mix them and create a shade that works for you.

I actually like the green shade. I think it works quite well. I use it on my blemishes to reduce the redness and I put foundation on top. If I´m still not satisfied with coverage I ad some thicker concealer, right now I am using Bourjois Healthy mix concealer, which I love.

I am pretty sure the pink shade should be more salmon and not as pink, but my under eye circles are pretty dark so I guess it works this way too. I can definitely see a difference, but it is probably not the best out there.

This concealer palette comes in a compact plastic packaging, which makes it perfect for travel. And as all the other Catrice Cosmetics products it is very affordable. The product itself is decent, but nothing too crazy. It is not one of those products you just have to have, but good for the beginners to try out.

What do you think about this palette?




Love,

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo: Permanent Taupe







Well hello,

Fall is finally here and I am so happy to use darker, vampier colors. I love wearing statement purple or burgundy lips and I usually combine it with neutral eye shadows and winged eyeliner.

One of my favourite eye product has become Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo in Permanent Taupe. This shade is the most beautiful browny-taupe color. I already own Eternal Gold which i love as well, but this one seems to be more universal in timeless. The color will suit all skin tones and it is wearable in all seasons. It is perfect for day looks or smoky night outs. It can be used on its own or as an eyeshadow base. It is very quick to use. You can apply it using your fingers or brushes. It is buildable but looks stunning sheer as well.

I find it doesn´t crease at all and stays on all day without fading. I like to use it on top of eye primer but it is not necessary at all. And another thing I love about it that it is Matt. It has no shimmer whatsoever. It feels very light on the lids and its very comfortable to wear.

It really is one of my favourite products right now I would definitely repurchase this shade. If you ask me It is a must for the Fall and Winter time. And I am sure I will be buying more shades from their collection.

Do you own any of Color Tattoos? Which shade is your favourite?




Love,
