Product Rave: Pixy's Spa Fresh Shower Mousse

Hello My beautiful readers.  How are you all today :) 

Well I am sure you can guess by the title that this is already going to be a positive review :) 

I love that I love coming across reviews that I know will be good even before I read them but I still like to find out why and whats so good about it. 

I am sure you remember me talking about the Brand Pixy before but if you are a new comer it is basically an Irish brand/company who sells pure and natural beauty products.

"We only use nature's best in all our beauty products including moisturising shea butterand healing vitamin E oil to leave your skin soft and supple. We use essential oils, for their amazing fragrance - some energise you, others bring you back in harmony to calm you and soothe away the stress. Pixy is sheer indulgence leaving your skin glowing and renewed.

On top of all that our fizzing bath bombs, soaps, vibrant shower mousses and beauty gift sets are affordable so everyone can join in! "

I have tried their Bath bombs and their cleansing mud which i absolutely love :) check out my reviews on them here 

When I first laid eyes on these at the Beauty show this year I instantly fell in love.  They look amazing and smell amazing but at the time did not buy any.  Since been told about them I was determined to try one so I ordered it a couple of weeks ago and instantly fell in love.  

There are 5 scented shower mousses to choose from 

Strawberry which contains Vitamin E oil and Jojoba Oil To nourish the skin 
Pineapple which contains Rich butters and almond oil to leave your skin smooth and soft 
Cocoa which contains Shea Butter and Apricot Oil to soften and enrich your skin 
Lime Sorbet(new) which contains Lime and lemon myrtle essential oils make brighten your day and make you feel fresh all over
and lastly Spa fresh which I will talk about more 
Each jar contains a show pouffe which is brilliant and very handy even to bring on travel.  

You are getting 300mls of product for 12.95 euro which in my eyes is well worth it believe me.  
It warns you on the site to be careful while having this in the shower as the container is glass and to be honest they are right as its a very fragile glass very thin and if it did by any chance fall it will surely smash on the first fall.  This jar is actually very light weight even though it looks big which is great from travelling just make sure if you are bringing this on travel to wrap it up amongst your clothing so that if your bag falls it will not break.  
another thing I noticed is that once you open this and the pouffe is released you will have to keep the pouffe separate to keep the jar sealed if you try to put pouffe back in it will spring up and the lid will come off so wait until you have used it a while before placing it back in.  

To use you simply dip the pouffe on top of the mousse make sure not to dig in because you will take up too much.  A little goes a long long way in the above picture you will see the amount of the pouffe and that literally does your whole body because once in contact with your wet skin this amount lathers up something serious I couldnt believe it myself.  Oh boy ladies and gent the moment you apply this to your body its like rolling around on cotton wool.  It feels AMAZING!!!!! Its so soft and the scent is released straight away.  HEAVEN!!!!!

Spa Fresh smells absolutely devine.  Spa Fresh contains primrose and peach kernel oils to leave your skin soft and supple.  I actually can not describe the scent but I can tell you that it sort of reminds me of soap they made years ago the soap my mum used to buy when I was a kid.  I think it was actually the Palmolive Soap the green one.  It reminds me so much of that.
So every time I have a shower with this it brings me back to my childhood :) :) 
Awwwww If you want to smell extra clean this is surely the one to go for.  
:) I love it :) 

The best thing about this is when i usually step out of the shower my body instantly feels dehydrated as i suffer with dry skin but with this I didnt feel the need to moisturise even though I still do anyway.  Also the scent lingers on the skin for the most part of the day which is brilliant.  Even now as i sit here typing this I am sniffing my arm and am in bliss :) 
I Absolutely adore this product and I plan to stock up on more scents for sure I have already cleared an area on my dresser from them lol 
Have you ever tried these if not why not believe me you will love them :) 
I hope you enjoyed my review 
Check out the Pixy Website for these :) Pixy also ships internationally and there is free shipping  to all Irish customers :) 
Until Next Time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ELF Pressed Mineral Eyeshadows in Beauty Queen, Lunch Break & What's Your Name

Well Hello there fancy meeting you here :) :) ;) ;)  How have you been :) :) 

Well sure look it if i started telling you how I feel there would be no point in reviewing these because the post would go on forever lol 

So in one word I feel Superdeedooper :) :) 

So I decided when I was shopping on the on ELF site that I would pick up a few of the Newish Pressed Mineral Eyeshadows to try them out.  

There is shades available and they cost £3.50 each for 3g of product.  

I couldnt wait to try these out because I love the Mineral Pigment Eyeshadows they are so pigmented and fun to use but they can get messy and I do tend to leave them to one side because of that but when I found out they were doing pressed mineral eyeshadows i thought wahoo same formula, pigment ? but pressed I had to try 

So lets just say the packaging of these eye-shadow impressed 

Ok the box is not what you call expensive looking but sure your going to be throwing that out so hey 

The packaging on the eye-shadow is very impressive in fact it looks very like the MAC Eye-shadow packaging and I actually questioned if they were the same size but no they are not e.l.f mineral eye-shadows are double the size 

I have to say I am well impressed with how soft these eyeshadows feel.  Plus after swatching them I found no chalkiness which is a great start :)  

I did find them to be very pigmented even the lightest shade to swatch.  So lets move on to the shades 

First up is "Beauty Queen" is the lightest shade out of the lot and its a nice creamy beige shade a perfect blending shade or even a perfect lid shade its also perfect for under the brow and even on the tops of yous cheek bones for a nice glow. The finish is semi-matte but veering more to matte.  You will find this to be a little powdery when applying to the eyes but you will have little to no fall out.  This is a perfect wake my eyes up shadow and if you are one who has a busy life and no time to spend in the mornings to do your makeup simply apply this to the lid and it instantly makes you look awake and fresh.  

Next up is "Lunch Break" This is a nice medium brown with a more satin finish.  I experienced no fall out what so ever with this shade.  Its perfect for everyday looks.  I like to use this in the crease for a little definition.  When blended out you get a nice golden brown 

And Lastly "What's Your Name"  This is a beautiful shade a nice taupe mauve shade which has a satin finish.  I love purply shades so i was excited about this straight away.  I did find this to be sheer It needed building up to come out on the swatches pictures.  With a good primer it works and looks great 

To be honest I did find I had to work with these longer to create a simple everyday look.  Meaning it took alot a dipping of the brush and alot of blending to get a look I was happy with, without wetting the brush.  The eyeshadows are ok to work with but they work better when wet and of course more intense.  That's not saying they are not good and they would be well suitable for anyone starting out with makeup or anyone who likes simple everyday looks but with my experience in eyeshadows I find I will probably not reach for these as much as some of my eyeshadows I have in my collection.  The lasting powder is good when worn with a primer.  

Here is a simple everyday look I created with these 3 shades to give you an idea of how they look.  

I applied "Beauty Queen" to the inner 1/3rd of the lid and under the brow 

I applied Lunch break to the outer half of the lid and blended both shades together and then applied What's your name in the crease and the same shades along the bottom lash line :) This photo is taken with a flash. 

The next picture is taken in natural sunlight and you will see that "Beauty Queen" instantly makes my eyes look wide awake and believe me after the week I have had up until yesterday I needed that extra umph

 This look is applied dry with primer  

I definitely recommend you try them for the price they are not at all bad and I will try the other shades as I believe they are even more pigmented.  I do prefer to apply these wet for more of an intense look even in day time I had a lovely experience with them when applying them as they felt amazing on the skin they are smooth and silky and feel really comfortable to apply which I love.  

Have you tried these yet 

Whats your thoughts on them :) 

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ELF Mineral Lip Liners Review and Swatches

Hey my beauties :) 

How are you all doing today :) 

Wow this morning started very wet rainy and wintery and now as i type this blog post the sun is shining and the mood in the house is alot livelier :) 

My weekend has been a little cray cray!!!!

Especially yesterday with my son turning 6 we went away for the day and had a ball 

What was your weekend like :) 

Oh let me tell you I have just had my first ever interview on someone elses blog :)  I was so nervous but the questions were so so easy to answer and I love the post :) Check it out if you have time :) 

Anyways enough with the blabbing and onto the reason you clicked the link in the first place lol Todays review is on a long time favourite of mine the ELF Mineral Lip Liners.  I have been using these for the past 2 years now so I think Its about time I reviewed them for you :)  You know what its like when you take something too much for granted as you use it so often and then realise oh my goodness I havent reviewed this yet !!! And no its not because I want to keep them to myself lol its just because I have had them and used them for so long I just never thought about it I was too busy reviewing new items I bought and tried :) 

I absolutely love the mineral line by e.l.f ( eyeslipsface)  I have every last one of their lipsticks ( THEY ARE HALF PRICE AT THE MOMENT ON THE UK SITE BTW) which i think are amazing they are long lasting creamy soft and feel amazing on the lips :) 

The Lip Liners are just as good.  

Create definition that ís soft, natural and brilliant. The gentle glide formula gives consistent color without tugging or sharpening for a beautiful enhanced look. 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes. 

Each lip liner comes in a plastic pencil like form which are nicely slim.  One of the best thing about these lip liners is that they are twistable which means no sharpening wahoo I love that .   

I have all four shades in my collection but I would love a red :) :) 

Each lip liner only cost £3 each which is more than a bargain for what you are getting believe me :) 

Starting with the shades I own :) 

• Brown:  The name speaks for itself :)  It is a nice medium brown shade.  It is suitable for Anyone with fair to medium skintones.  Anyone who is a darker skintone will find this to be more of a nude lip liner.  I have to admit when buying this I was worried it was going to be too dark on me but it isnt at all dark and looks stunning on the lips 

• Rose:  This is my favourite and is always in my handbag.  I especially love this shade all over the lips for the days I do not want to touch up that much.  This is a beautiful Rosey brown shade and suitable for all skin tones I just love it I think its a perfect shade for anyone and it compliments every skin tone but more fair to medium skin tones in particular.  On darker skin tones its a My Lips But Better shade stunning :) 

• Raisin:  This is a stunning Mauve rose shade.  You can build this as deep as you want its beautiful I have to say and would look extra stunning on anyone with a darker skin tone.  It is very pigmented and can look very dark on anyone with fair skin if used all over the lips but applied lightly this is beautiful :) 

• Peachy:  Oh boy this shade is absolutely perfect for Spring/Summer months.  This is a peachy coral shade nice a bright and full of life  :)   I love it full stop :)

The Lip Liners are applied all over the lips in the Lip swatches and the photos are taken in Sun light 

Over all I love these Lip Liners.  For the price you are getting more than your moneys worth.  The consistency of these liners are creamy and smooth yet not overly smooth which means they last longer on the lips.  I found they didnt or dont dry my lips out but if you do suffer with dry lips simply apply a light coat of balm before you apply them if you are wearing them all over the lips.  I actually prefer wearing these all over the lips as a long lasting colour for the day and I find they last a good 5 hours before I need to apply either a lipstick or anything over them.  I do like to top the liners with a bit of gloss just for the extra va voom :)   The best thing about them is that they are matte.  That means they are not as transferable as some lipsticks and they just look awesome on the lips.  I actually do not have one bad thing to say about these and give them full marks in every way :) 

I highly recommend these to everyone you will not be disappointed :) 

In the above picture I am wearing raisin all over the lips 

So I hope this helps you out a little and I really hope e.l.f brings out more shades as I will be the first one to buy them all lol 

Until Next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter

Pretty Smooth Nose Pore Strips Review :)

Hey My beautifuls how are you all today :) 

Wow the sun is shining bright and everyone is in great form which is lovely to see :) 

Today's Review is on the Pretty Smooth Nose Pore Strips I bought in my local pharmacy 

Now let me tell you all I am a nose strip virgin.  

Never have I ever tried anything like this before I usually do it the old fashioned way by steaming my face and them washing my face with my face cloth which is pretty effective doing this too often dries out my face alot.  

Plus curiosity got the better of me and I just had to get them to try them :) 

Now I did ask you all on facebook the day i tried these would you all like to see a blog post on it with pictures you all agreed and said that you would like to read and see :) 

So if you have in any way got a sensitive tummy do not look at the last photo :) :) :) 

Now I have never heard of the company Pretty Smooth before I have tried goggling it and there is no website but the company it is produced by is Quest Brands which do have a website (Thank Goodness) They are said to be One of the industry’s largest manufacturers of disposable care products.  They sell wax strips, nose strips, cotton buds etc.  They actually remind me of a pound store or cheap store you would find in your super market.

It is an English based Company and they do Post Internationally.  

So these nose strips cost me a whopping 3.99 euro for 6 strips in total which is not bad :) 

As you can see you get 6 strips individually wrapped in foil nice and hygienic :) 

When you open up one of them you will get the nose strip stuck on some clear plastic 

Of Course you also get very very clear instructions on how to use the nose strip which I was delighted with because what i would have done is just stick this baby and probably done more damage than anything so please make sure to follow all instructions :) 

So on my no makeup day I went ahead and tried this baby out packed up of curiosity and nerves sort of lol 

As you will tell by my face :)

Please excuse the no make up face hehehehe 

so how did I get on with these :) 

Hmmmmm I was pretty darn disgusted with the results lol lordy my nose 

The first time I tried them I didnt apply enough water to my nose area so when i went to peel the nose strip off it hurt badly oh my word I thought I was pulling the skin with it.  So please please make sure to apply a generous amount of water on the nose before applying the strip :)

2nd time around was alot better and boy oh boy the result was surprising in all fairness I have to admit These strips done their job right.  It was kinda gross seeing the result on the strip but to be honest I was delighted as it too all from the root it looked like what one of my FB readers described it as "Kiwi hairs Standing" lol 

ok now for the evidence scroll further down if you do not wish to see this :) 

NASTY!!!!!!!

Over all I am impressed with the nose strip When used right it takes out most of the black heads but I did notice there was some left behind.  I can safely say it too 70% of them which is fine with me.  You are left with a smooth nose area but also left with pores wide open which i didnt like and which someone else on FB stated does happen.  Open pores = dirt makeup etc going into them = spots and more blackheads but i have the solution for that.....  Rinse your face off with cold water then apply and ice pack aka a page of frozen veg or something like that and hold it to your nose area for about 2 to 3 minutes.  It quickly closes up your pores and your face is ready :) 

I am well impressed with the results and It is surely making me want to try out other brands to compare.  My nose looks more smooth and blackhead free I love it :) 

Have you ever tried Nose strips before ?

How was your experience with them.  

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

You can get these from Amazon for £2.96 or on Ebay 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Celebrating 2 years on Nina's Bargain Beauty & Your Questions Answered ;)

Hellooooooooo My beautiful fantastic incredible Readers 

How are you all :) 

OMG I can not even believe I am writing this blog post 

Celebrating 2 Years Blogging 

Nina's Bargain Beauty is 2 Years old today 

AMAAAAZINGGG!!!!!!

I have all of you to thank for this because only for you dedicated readers out there I would not be celerating this amazing day 

Yes its amazing 

I never ever imagined I would be here with almost 1000 followers and still loving every moment of the blogging world.  

This is my life and my journey and I love that you are all part of it. 

When I first started blogging I never thought I would get the response I get everyday from you all.  I just started up blogging mainly for the love of what i talk about but mostly because there was no one really around me that understood my passion for what I do like you guys.  Not only that but I have met the most Amazing people through the blogging world.  I am amazed at how many people I have met and staying in contact with and still to this day I am meeting amazing people I love it.  

Not only that my confidence has changed so much since starting my blog up and I am sure some of you long time followers would have noticed that through-out the 2 years.  Things can only get better the more I blog.  

So to celebrate today I decided to do my very first official Questions & Answers blog post 

(which sort of had me nervous dont ask why lol) 

So without further ado I am going to go ahead and Answer as much as i can :)   If I do not answer your question this time around I promise I will make this a regular thing and your question will surely be the first to be answered :) 

Question 1 from Ave :  What is your personal favourite daily skin routine? What products do you use to cleanse and care for your skin, and when/how do you apply them? 

I am obsessed when it comes to taking care of my skin but I presume this is about my face.  So on my no makeup days I basically wash my face in the mornings with a gentle daily face wash pat it dry and use a day cream prefarably one with SPF to protect me for the day :)  If I am not wearing makeup I still want my face looking a little lively so I apply my newest moisturiser the Garnier moisture match for dull skin..... It leave a nice dewy fresh look on my bare face I love it :)
I do plan on doing a whole blog post on my daily skin care routine very very soon So i will keep you guessing the rest until then hehehehe (so bold aint I) 
Well to be honest by the time im finished the skin care routine for my makeup days there wont be enough space for the rest of the photos but thank you Ave for that question hunny I have certainly moved this blog post idea up the list ;) 

Question 2 from Wendy:  What are your 3 all time favourite beauty products that you go back to time and time again?

1. Moisturiser for sure I could not live without it I mean if I didnt have moisturiser in the house I would literally walk in the hail rain snow sleak to get some honestly I would I like my skin to feel moisturised I hate that tight dry feeling its just awful.  The brands I am loving is Nivea I think it smells amazing feels amazing and keeps me moisturised all day long but that is my current favourite..... after all I am always trying out new products :) 
2. My smellys!!!!  Come on ladies serious this has to be included I mean smellys as in deodorant  perfume and of course my wipes for the area I wish not talk about but needs it a certain time of the month yes I cant live without them EVER!!!!!!!!
3. Lipstick/Lipglosses:  Once you have a little something on your lips you are on the ball lipsticks are always noticed and 80% of the time when you are talking to someone they are looking at your eyes but they are always watching your mouth while you talk.  This is why we carry 5-10 different lip products in our bags Right?? :) 

Its a real pity i could only choose 3 but they are the 3 once you look refreshed (moisturiser) smell great and have the most kissable lips girls you are getting noticed thats without the rest aka outfit hair and the rest of your makeup :) 

Question 3 from Niamh :)  What so far for you has been the highest point of your blogging career? (what was it that you put the most work into and feel it paid off?)

First of all this is in no way a career more like a massive hobbie in my life.  Which I hope one day It will become a career.  

The highest point I have to say is my confidence and finding my feet meaning when i started blogging i think alot of people thought "awwww this is just another phase she is going through"  in all fairness it took me alot longer to find out what i wanted to do with my life and i have finally found it I love it and my confidence has grown since I started blogging.  Another high point is I have met some absolutely amazing people through blogging and some have become my BFF's I would have never found some amazing friends if I hadnt started to blog.  Anothe high point ( promise this is the last even though there is loads) is that I have learned so so so much not only about beauty makeup etc but about myself some things I didnt know about myself until now and that makes me smile.  I have put alot and still do put alot of work into my photos I must take about 50 photos of the same thing and then go through them and pick the one I am happy with I believe a blog post if possible should have very detailed pictures and as true the the shade as possible I think thats what attracted alot of people to check out my blog :) 

Question 4 from Nicole:   If you could have one of each product in your make up bag what products would you choose? ie one blusher, one foundation etc.

Wow such a hard question because of the fact I am a beauty blogger I change my mind about alot of products so I suppose I could answer this question with what is my current favourites hmmmmm

Foundation:  Has to be the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation its just amazing !!!!! I love it 

Blusher:  (this I really had to think about)  It would have to be....... Any of Catrice's blushes I think they are brilliant and I always seem to reach for them on an everyday basis but if I was going away for the day and I needed something I didnt have to top up I would apply my Daniel Sandler water colour blush (which I have to review)  Its amazing amazing amazing :) 

Bronzer:  Has to be my Sleek Contour kit I absolutely love it and recommend it to anyone its matte and its brilliant :) :) 

Mascara:  Avon Super Shock Mascara All the way but sadly I might never get my hands on that again :( If that is the case The next current best mascara would be MUA Extreme Volume Mascara Its actually really good for the price 

Eyeliner:  Has to be either Avon super shock Gel pencil liner (all time fav) :( 

Catrice Gel Eyeliner in 010 "Black Jack with Jack Black" Amazing !!!!

Lipsticks/LipGloss:  I figured I would just tell you whats in my handbag at the moment lol as that would be my current favs

Starting with Lip Liners:  ELF Mineral Lip Liner in "Rose" & Catrice Precision Lip Liner in "Lost in the Rose Wood"  Two amazing shades for everyday or nightime looks :) 

Lipstick:  Loreals Color Riche 235 "Nude" This is a perfect lipstick for any look :) 

Gloss:  NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in "French Kiss" 

Rimmels Apocalips Lip Lacquer in "Celestial" 

MUA Intense Kisses Gloss in "Sealed with a Kiss" 

Balm:  Elemis Loving Lips Lip Balm (recent sample in a magazine) 

The Handmade Soap Co Lip Balm in "Calendula & Orange" 

awwwwww just so many likes and not enough space to talk about them lol but they are what I currently reach for.  I could swap all of them this time next week we will see :) :) 

Eyeshadows:  Would have to be at the moment my Lorac Pro Palette or any of my Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes they are amazing :) 

I really could go on and on lol so I think I will Stop At that 

Question 5 from Laura:  What advise would you give someone who is thinking of starting up their own blog?

Well Firstly I would say is be yourself do not try to be anyone else only yourself,  be true and honest after all you need to gain the trust of your readers and you as a reader of blogs would like to know that the writer is true to you !!!!

If your heart is not 100% into blogging maybe think of something else to do because you need to have the passion for blogging if you have that your blog will shine !!!!!

Please Do not over load your blog with ads its so so annoying when you click into a blog and all you see is ads and your literally searching for the blog post. 

Have clear pictures The clearer the pictures the better I dont mean go out there and buy an expensive camera now :) I mean try to take photos in the brightest place of your home try to get them as clear as you can

Share the love!!!!! Visit other bloggers if you like their blogs follow them let them know you are there and that you love their blogs and that you are their new follower 9 time out of 10 that blogger will pay a visit back and follow you if they like your blog :) :) There is nothing better than seeing bloggers sharing the love as we are not in this for competition we are in this because we share the same passion be it for makeup for fashion etc we still share the same passion in what we do.

Enjoy what you do and pay no attention to those who will try to bring you down after all they are only jealous of who your are and what you have become and basically they just dont have the confidence you have to follow their dreams which is a big pity :) 

Ok I think I have answered enough for today If I didnt answer your question do not fear I have written them down and will answer them in my next Q&A post.  Thank you so much for all your questions and I hope you enjoyed and got some tips :) 

Thanks again to all of you for all the support 

Love you all 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MUA New Hide & Conceal Cover Up Stick Review

"A NEW Formula... our NEW Hide and Conceal Sticks in three colours- Fair,Natural and Almond. A creamy, easy to use new and improved formula to cover any blemishes or skin imperfections."

Hello my beauties :) :) 

I hope you are all well :) 

After my not so good but not so bad review on the MUA's Brush on Concealer pen I decided to try out the New Hide & Conceal Cover Up Stick This time to see what it was like.  Now I am not a big fan of Concealer sticks as such as a tried a few when I was in secondary school along time ago now and never had a great experience with them (maybe it was partly to do with the fact I had no idea how to apply them properly) but they always seemed to cake on me but seeing as I am a little more knowledgeable about makeup I decided after so many years to give it a lash :) 

There is 3 shades available:  Fair, Natural and Almond

They only cost £1 each which is about 1.50 euro 

Bargain even at that price but does it actually do what it claims?

So I decided I would try out the middle shade which is "Natural" as I heard from a few bloggers that the shades on this concealer was lighter than the Brush on Concealer Pen. 

The concealer comes in a lipstick type packaging.  It even looks like a lipstick when you twist it up.  The moment I opened up the concealer I knew it was the right shade for me I was delighted it wasnt super dark :)  MUA sells an older version of this which is supposed to be now dont quote me on it as i havent tried it myself but its supposed to be very orangey.  Thats why I was never really pushed about buying it.  Us bloggers do communicate alot thank goodness :) 

The consistency of this concealer is quite thick and creamy and you will only need a little bit to do the deed.  I mean this is full coverage all the way.   I would not normally use this under my eyes for that reason as I feel it will cake and soak into fine lines but for blemishes and other areas I have put this to the test.  To be honest I recommend you apply this a little at a time using a concealer brush as you can over do it and if you apply too much it will look cakey.  Once you apply a little at a time it does actually cover up blemishes very well.  I do set this with a powder to make sure it stays put and it does for the most part of the day take or leave 5 to 6 hours before i noticed i needed to top up.

Blended out 

Overall I think this concealer would be great for anyone on a budget especially teens who are not fond of wearing foundations you could get away with just using this in the areas you need to and off you go just make sure to keep it in your bag for touch ups.  For £1 I am well impressed with it 

Have you tried this concealer yet ?

Until next time
