Hourglass corrective concealer review

This was a totally on a whim purchase in a haul a while ago, as I wasn't shade matched so I picked warm and hoped for the best, obviously trusting that hourglass are a luxury brand and know how to do concealer right.

Anyway onto the concealer, it looks darn beautiful and has quite a tight lid so it will never come open unless you prise the lid off. It is really creamy, but quite firm at the same time. When I apply it straight to my under eyes it's clearly medium to full coverage. I've stopped using it that way as it's just un hygienic and apply it with a concealer brush from the bullet on a moisturised/primed face.The lasting power is about 4-5 hours. The full coverage is great especially for anyone with acne, or trying to look like they've got 10 hours of sleep. As it's a corrective concealer it works well for people who have dark under eyes or those who need to counteract some colour they have. I personally have acquired some dark and slightly red eye circle due to exam period, so this has been my go to.

So to conclude, it's a lovely creamy good coverage concealer. But honestly for the money, I doubt I would repurchase it, the Nars creamy concealer is a tad cheaper and I prefer it because it's liquid and i get more use out of it - but I do still like this and feel I am getting my moneys worth.

Mini Haul | Nars, Too faced, Aveda, Philip Kingsley!

I recently went shopping with my lovely mum after my exams, and we did pick up a feeeeew things - so of course I just had to share! Some of these are products I've been wanting to try for a long time so once I've trialled and tested them reviews will be up.

I'll start off with the products that my mum picked up for herself but I wanted to share anyway since I'll probably try them out too. My mum swears by aveda products so she picked up the Aveda smooth infusion glossing straightener which is part of their new straightening line I believe and is meant to significantly straighten wavy to curly hair when the line is used consistently.  My mum also bought the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme, which is a pre wash hair mask raved about by so many beauty bloggers. Because of the hype and price of the mask, I really do hope we end up with Nicole Shcerzinger healthy-silky-long-beautiful hair or I'll be quite disappointed.

I also picked up the No7 sheer temptation lipstick in peach coral, I got one of those "£3 off" coupons on no7 from boots so I just picked this up and it's actually really lovely. I also bought my first Too Faced product, the Too Faced la creme lipstick in Bon Bon. When swatching I was torn between the bright colour bon bon and the MLBB Spice spice baby, but since it's summer (yes I'm gonna call the roller coaster weather in England summer) I bought the brighter raspberry colour BonBon.

Finally, I picked up the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in the shade ginger medium 2, slightly a touch to dark but since I'll get slightly darker in summer I can totally work with this. A much needed purchase.
