When you like something, buy EVERYTHING from that brand!!

The other day I posted my concealer best and worst here and in that I mentioned the concealer by the brand W7. I have never had a product from this brand before, but after using the miracle concealer, I decided to go and get a few more products. 

As you can see from the picture above, I bought another concealer (liquid this time, instead of the stick) and a blush.

Firstly, I love the packaging of this blush. I think it looks a lot more expensive than it was and I love the way the semi circle compartments look. I bought this in the shade baby pink, and I love the colour. So far I have only swatched it, but it looks gorgeous and I can't wait to wear it. The shade is a really subtle, pretty pink with a slight shimmery look.

I tried this concealer as soon as I got home and expected to look 10 years younger (11?). I got the lightest colour there, although I can't see the shade on the packaging (I'm assuming 'light'). This concealer is also really good at covering dark circles and blemishes. However, compared to the other, I do prefer the concealer stick as I personally think it gives me a lot more coverage. With this being liquid, I felt it went into my lines and didn't do my eyes as much justice as the stick. 

Overall, I am once again really impressed with the W7 range. Both the prices and the quality of the products baffle me, and as the title suggests, I will be keeping my eye out for more in their collection.

Drugstore concealer sticks- Best and worst!!

Today I thought I would compare the four concealer sticks I currently have in my collection. I don't know about you guys, but I love concealer, and it's one of my must have items, so I thought I'd share my experiences with you. All four of these are really affordable, ranging from £1 to £2.50.

Left to right: W7, Rimmel, 2true, MUA

MUA hide and conceal cover up stick in light-  £1.00

I LOVELOVELOVE this, I can't believe a  £1 concealer is covering up all my blemishes and circles with no problem. It is quite a heavy, drying concealer, but try putting it on after your moisturiser has soaked in, and you'll see it really does it's job. The Superdrug closest to me seems to be sold out of this 90% of the time, so when they next stock up, I'll definitely be stocking up on it too.

2True cover 'n' conceal stick shade 1-  £1.99

If you have dry, sensitive skin like me, do not buy this concealer!! As you can see from the picture at the top, it's a really 'fake', unnatural colour which doesn't compliment my skin tone, nor does it hide anything. In fact, I think it highlights the fact that you have bags and blemishes, rather than disguise them. I wouldn't ever buy this again (I only kept it to do this post, it's now going into the bin). 

Rimmel clear complexion coverstick-  £2.50

First of all, this is the only one of the four with an ingredients list, which also claims to be dermatologically tested (good for my sensitive skin) which I like. This concealer is good at hiding dark circles, although you may find you need to reapply it several times throughout the day. It also feels really moisturising when applied, and doesn't flake off or go into the creases like most. I would buy this again, for the price it is really good. 

W7 hide it! concealer in light/medium-  £1.69

I've saved the best for last! I bought this the other day when I took my Grandma shopping to Boundary Mill, and I'm so glad I did. I simply bought it because it was on offer, and because I needed some concealer quick for the night out I had planned that night. This concealer is a really creamy, moisturising consistency. If you look at it against the others on the top picture (the left hand side), you'll see that it has a pinky, skin coloured finish to it, as oppose to the unnatural look of the 2true one. This covers EVERYTHING! I'll be buying this again and again and again without a doubt.
