Where have I been?
Hey guys, just an update. I've been busy so I haven't been blogging of late. Hopefully I'll be back soon with some good news too!
Nailease - Instant Manicure!
Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 10:00PM The Concealer tagged Blixz, Nail Enamel, Nail Polish, Nail Varnish, Nailease, Nails in Nails, Review ;)
I was sent these Nailease strips to try out and I was a little skeptical at first as I have used a similar product and they were difficult to use and lasted for only 2 days!
;)
I can not tell you how easy these Nailease strips are to use and I got the cutest design ever! The only unfortunate thing for me is that the strips were too wide for my narrow nails so I had to cut them down to size myself. I thought this would be a problem but they actually stretch to fit on my nail!
;)
The results were a very funky looking design on my nails, which looked like I painted them myself. (They are actual varnish on strips) They stayed shiny and they lasted for 5 days. I'm not a lady of luxury so I do the dishes and other chores so I'm sure they will last longer than that if you wore gloves or were a little more careful.
Summary
- RRP $11.95
- Cool designs and easy to use
- Would I buy it again? Yes, if I wanted some cool looking nails!
QV - Rescue Gel
Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 10:00PM The Concealer tagged Irritated, Moisturiser, QV, Rescue Gel, Sensitive, psoriasis in Face, Review ;)
So as you may or may not know I have sensitive skin and I also have psoriasis so I'm always looking out for a nice oil free moisturiser that will not make my skin go crazy.
;)
I was sent QV Rescue Gel to try as it is supposed to calm and sooth sensitive skin. I contains Avemide 15 which is supposed to do that. I'm always skeptical with buzz words. I tried googling Avemide and it's only QV related but what is it exactly?
;)
I used this gel for a couple of days and my skin didn't react badly to it at all. It is a very light formula and feels moisturising but its mentholated! I'm not a fan :( It would have been a great product if the menthol wasn't an ingredient.
Summary
- RRP $19.95 for 30ml
- Good for sensitive skin, Dermatologically tested
- Feels moisturising even though its a light formula
- Buy it if you have sensitive skin and don't mind menthol
- Would I buy it again? No, because I don't like menthol
Beauty Department - Summer Natural Gradual Tan
Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 10:00PM The Concealer tagged Beauty Department, Brown, Fake Tan, Summer, Tan in Body, Review So you're wondering why a girl who is as dark as me (MAC NC40) would need a fake tan? That's because my legs don't see the sun very much and are as white as a polar bear's belly.
;)
I was given Summer to try out and I was a little skeptical at first because I didn't want to look Fanta orange like these guys. So I tried it one morning after my shower. I opened the jar and it smells really nice! Hard to describe the smell but its a botanical, good for you kinda scent.
;)
I tested it out for 10 days and my legs looked naturally tanned! (Might not look it but they are!) It only took 3 days for my legs to start looking tanned. Amazing! Light brown golden tinge. No hint of orange at all. No streaking either. I must admit, I do wear ballet flats all the time and there was build up around my foot, but that's my fault cause I didn't wait for Summer to dry completely before putting my shoes on!
Summary
- RRP $34.95
- Does not streak and gives a natural looking tan
- Organic ingredients and smells great!
- Buy if you want to want to keep looking radiant even in winter.
- Would I buy it again? Yes, so my legs match the rest of my body!
Urban Decay - Cannonball Mascara
Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 9:00PM The Concealer tagged Lashes, Lengthening, Mascara, Waterproof in Eyes, Shopping ;)
This is probably the best waterproof mascara I have used. I bought it in Sephora whilst I was in Hawaii. It does not budge and it is quite lengthening because of the fibres in the mascara.
;)
The brush is awesome for me cause its small and thin and coats my short lashes but I must warn you, this mascara is not volumising at all and its such a shame because of its waterproof properties!
Summary
- $20USD
- The best waterproof mascara that I have bought, you'll need a good remover!
- Black and lengthening but not volumising
- Buy it if you sweat alot or in a synchronised swim team
- Would I buy it again? No, because I like volumising mascaras
