Review : Cover Fx Conceal FX Concealer

Review time again:)

I picked up a sample of this concealer in '' light'' a week ago (they had only the light one left, but I still wanted to try it) & I don’t know where to start. Maybe with DON’T BUY THIS GUYS :S. This concealer is so wrong on so many levels! First of all, what stands out the most is the hideous smell. Usually, I don't freak out when something smells a bit different, I'm not that type of person, but this smell, I just couldn't stand it. I don't know what kind of smell is going on here, but it STINKS LIKE HELL. It smells like something herbal, chemical and disgusting. HATE IT. Then, there is the color that, at first, is really OFF. It's freaking ORANGE.

When I saw the color, I felt like running away. YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS LIGHT ? ... But, I decided to read some reviews instead, and some people said that you need to continue to rub and eventually It will lighten up. That's what I did. It didnt get any better. Look:

Yes, the freaking color is still orange, but now it's more of a pinky orange. I don't know... It Did get lighter though, eventually after rubbing and rubbing :), but still, I'm not looking for a pinky concealer!! HELLO! They say that it's perfect for yellow skin tones. Ehmmm. NO, Not at all. There's a line between pink and yellow.

However, there are some positive aspects to this product. It blends easily and it doesn't set into fine lines. It dries into a matte finish and the skin feels soft afterward. And it has good coverage, BUT THAT DAMN SMELL STAYS ON. Who does that? Who wants their concealers to stink? AGHH! DO SOMETHING COVER FX!

I don't know guys, but if I was you, I wouldn't spend 30$ on an orange concealer. Buy Bobbi Brown instead ! It's even cheaper. Maybe it's just this particular color ? I'll definitely try the other ones. Thank God, It was only a sample. If in any case you are interested in this product, you can find it at Sephora or Shopper's Drug Mart :)

Anyways, I wanted to know if some of you have tried this concealer? Did it work for you? How on earth can you live with the smell ?

XOXO,A.

Review : Wet n Wild Palette in Greed 246

Hi there :)

Here's just a quick review on an eye shadow palette that I bought a couple of months ago. It's the Wet n wild palette in Greed.

This picture comes from here :) (I am lazzyy ^^)

When I first saw this palette in store, I was like: '' Wow! These colors are the most gorgeous ever and the combo of the colors is so unique,'' This palette was definitely the one of the 4 that I was the most excited about. So, I decided to buy this one :) & 5$ it was a steal! So, I went back home to try these little babies. The first thing I noticed is that 3 of the 6 colors didn't even show on my skin. These colors are the champagne one, the glittery purple and the glittery pink. (Actually, all I get from the purple and the pink, is their glitters :/ ) The peachy colors is pretty and the 2 blacks are really nice too. They are really pigmented and easily blend-able. But I don't like sparkly blacks so that one I'm not really going to use it, but it's good to have. (& who knows, I might use it right ?) I end up having only 2 colors that I like, 1 color that I might use ... some day and 3 colors that don't show on me :) Sick eh ? I expected so much from this palette :( BOOH! I should try them on a friend who's paler and see if they show on her. I don't know. It sucks ! I'm probably going to buy the neutral palette they have. I heard a lot of good comments on that one :) ^^

Overall: 2 out of 5 :( or actually 2.5/6 hehe ^^

Packaging: 5/5 What can I say ?

Price: 5$ :)

Size: 0.25 oz/ 7 g

Would you buy this again: Never :)

Recommended: No. Maybe for the black, ... but no. NO!

That's all :) See you guys really soon :)

Have you tried their palettes ? This one ? Did you like it ? No ? why ? :)

XOXO,A.

Review : Hydra-C ComplexE Eye Contour Gel

Review Time Guys!! :)

Since may 4th, I've been using this eye cream. So, it's been more than a month now that I've been putting this cream every morning and every night on my eyes. And I took my time for one reason: to get a good opinion about this product & now, I'm pretty comfortable with it. So, Let's get started.

On the box, you can read: More luminous and brighter looking eyes with Hydra-C Eye Contour Gel-Cream which revitalizes and refreshes the delicate eye contour skin. -Reduces dark circles and puffiness. -Hydrates the skin and tones the eye contour area. -Helps prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Application: apply to a well cleansed eye contour area, morning and night, with light tapping motions. Use alone or under make-up.

Review Part: WOW. For me it did exactly what it claimed. Nothing more & nothing less. As you may know, or not, I have Olive toned skin and usually, the problem with that skin color is that the under-eye area is rather brownish and dark. So, concealers are MUSTS for us and obviously, a good under-eye cream is needed. And for me, this cream is perfect. It took away almost all my dark circles and brightened that area as well. And I'm afraid of wrinkles, so this is a good cream to prevent them. It also helped with the puffiness of my eyes (due to lack of sleep or tears) & It hydrated my skin so muuuch. When I apply concealer, it glides on so much better now. I don't have to '' RUB'' anymore. Hehe. I still have some dark circles,yes, but they are definitely less noticeable! (they were REALLY bad before) Which makes me very happy (:! It's been a month now, and I've used up only half of the product. So, one bottle will definitely last you for at least 2 months :) and the price, here in Canada, is 14.26$. (very reasonable price!). However, I encountered some problems with the packaging :( (MAN I HATE THEM). At some point, the product wasn't coming out of the pump anymore. I started to ''panic'' :), but all you got to do is continue pressing and it will eventually get back to normal. But, the bottle is still really hygienic and easy to use. I use one pump for one eye :) So, if you do the math :P, 2 pumps for two eyes :). What else ? Well, it has vitamin C and E. It's perfume free and Hypo-Allergenic & the consistency is perfect. Not too runny and not too thick :) Just perfect, and it sinks into your skin really fast. I LOVE THIS CREAM :) BUY IT. If you want to reduce puffiness and dark circles and you want to prevent wrinkles, BUY THIS CREAM :)

Overall: 5/5. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Packaging: 4/5. It's because of the pump problem I Had, but it happened just once, so not to worry about.

Price: 14$ in Walmarts. I know that in other places, this cream is like 20$.

Size: 0,51 OZ/ 15 mL

Would you buy this again? Definitely will.

Recommended? Yes, to anyone between 18-25 :)


I know, the picture is super blurry :( But, it's the only one that I have that is close to BEFORE :(

So yeah, this is after a month. I am aware that this eye is 10 times prettier because of the mascara and the eyebrows :) but forget about it hehe ;)

So that's it :) Hope you've enjoyed this review :) If you have any questions/comments or whatever :) Just write them :)

XOXO,A.

And with bikinis, comes shaving :)... * sights * And, sadly, with shaving come Bumps, itching, sometimes pain and irritation !(now, how cool is that?) But, I have a solution to this problem:) It's BIKINI ZONE!! This cream is AMAZING. It works like HEAVEN! What it does ? Well, it stops irritation, bumps and itching in the bikini area. Isn't that cool ?

Review Part: LOVE. It works wonders ! It takes away any little bump you can have after shaving. I can't claim it works for itching and pain because I don't have sensitive skin, but for the bumps part, IT DOES ! I tested it yesterday again for you guys, and this morning I had NO bumps no nothing :) Just smooth skin ! I would suggest that you try it on a small area of your bikini zone just in case it wouldn't work for you or you allergic or if you have sensitive skin. For me it worked, but take into consideration that for you it might not !! I have a friend for who this cream also worked :) so, I say TRY IT ! It's worth it ! Here in Canada it costs only 6.97$ in Walmarts. I guess in the states it's like 5$ ? :)( tell me if I'm wrong ^^ ) By the way, there is something I HATE about this thing, it's the smell. Eww, it smells like medecine and I don't know what. But I try to not smell it at all. haha!

Overall: 4 out of 5 (because of the smell, I hate it. BUT, it does what it claims ^^ )

Packaging: 4 out of 5 (I'm having hard times CLOSING this tube HAHA :( It says : PUSH to close, but when I push it, the product comes out :( haha LAME i know !)

Price:5-7$ (depends where you live of course)

Size: 28 g/1 Oz

Would you buy this again? Yes I will !

Recommended? Yes.
