Holy Grail - Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer

In part two of my 'I Bought Drugstore Makeup On A Time Crunch", I present to you Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer.

There isn't much to say. I am obsessed. I have had people comment on the fact that I don't look exhausted. And that is more than enough for me! It does an amazing job covering the black holes that currently live under my eyes. And it wears well. It has a wand and blends out perfectly.You can build it up, but you don't really need to. And it doesn't crease. After the first time I used it, I was in love. You need this in your life! Unless you are on of those weirdos who doesn't have dark circles. 

First Off - Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation

A while back, I was waiting for a friend and I was running out of time to do my makeup. So I ran into the drugstore and picked up some essentials so I could do my makeup in the car while I waited. I made my choices based on what was cheapest. And, for the most part, it worked out.

For foundation, I picked out Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation. It's a liquid mousse foundation that blends out easily and has very good coverage. I just blended it out with my fingers, but a Beauty Blender works well too, if you aren't doing your makeup in the car. It lasts all day. I normally set it with a powder.

I've been using it on a regular basis and I'm loving it. I think I would buy this again.

First Off - NYX Liquid Black Liner

I was on the hunt for a specific NYX eyeliner, and could not find it. So I bought this one instead. 

I am torn about this. It like it but I don't. The brush is very thin and I find it hard to apply in the thickness that I want, on both eyes. Thus far I have ended up with it far thicker than I wanted. And I have made it work.

The other thing that makes me not love it is the fact that it is not a matte formula. I was not aware that I had a preference for my eyeliner finish. But this has a shine to it. And when I am out and about in my day, and glance in a mirror to double check that my makeup has not melted, the finish often makes me thing that I am missing eyeliner on a spot on my eye. This leads to me quickly brushing on another coat of it, and then building it up to the point where it is drying an annoying.

Verdict: Other than the two concerns I listed, I like this product. It wears all day and isn't uncomfortable. It's not my favourite eyeliner, but I have tried worse ones. 

First Off - Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer

I've heard of Hard Candy before but I hadn't tried any of their products. My sister picked this up but didn't like it, or bought the wrong shade or something. 

The funny thing about concealer is that some cover dark circles amazingly but are terrible for break outs. Or vice versa. This is the former. This stuff is magic on my dark circles. Sleep is not a thing I get much of so a product that can make it look like I do is magical! And it's pretty inexpensive, or so I'm told.

Verdict: It's not as powerful on my acne scars. But it is pure magic on my dark circles. I would highly recommend checking it out.
