Seventeen Phwoarr Paint Concealer

So let's make a bold statement... I think I've found a better drugstore concealer than the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. Yes, I just did that.
Seventeen have released some right crackers recently so I thought I would share my views on the Phwoarr Paint concealer. I am not a fan of the name to be honest but I can deal with that. As the word paint suggests this is a heavy duty concealer, Seventeen have aimed this at combating those pesky undereye bags but I actually use this for covering blemishes and creating my perfect base. 

I have been meaning to talk about this in a post since I stumbled upon it all the way back in September.  I love the creamy texture and how it blends beautifully into the skin.  I find that it covers anything I need it to quickly but it can be built up for those extra annoying spots.  I find this concealer to last well as part of the perfect base, though I do set it with powder.  With a compact little mirror I think this is the perfect concealer to pop in your handbag and know you are good to go.

As I mentioned before, I would not recommend using this under the eyes, as I think the consistency is slightly too thick which can be drying and not last as long.  I find with any thick concealers they tend to crease in the fine lines under my eyes, but I generally think this is so much better to be used on blemishes rather than to hide bags under the eyes.  My main issue I have with this concealer is the colour range, or may I say the lack of.  As far as I am aware there are only two shades, Fair which is the one I have and medium which is slightly darker. 

For £5.49 I think this is right little steal and with Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer being discontinued I think Seventeen have eased the pain some what.  Boots is currently doing 3 for 2 on Beauty, Hair and Skincare so I would hurry down there.

Winter Lips

You can always tell when Winter is fast approaching, and not by the wet mornings and windy nights. Girls, I don't even think we mean to do it, but our instincts tell us to buy as many moisturising lipsticks, lip balms and scrubs as we can carry, until one unexpectedly drops and rolls under the counter never to be seen again. These are some of my favourite lip products I have been wearing throughout Winter.
 From Left to Right (above) From Top to Bottom (below)
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Crush
17 Mirror Shine - Scrimptious (this looks the scariest but is actually probably my favourite day colour)
L'Oreal Cresse - Nude Ingenue
Natural Collection - Cranberry

As you can see I have been loving the berry look. What have you been wearing on your lips this season?
