The bags under my eyes aren't Prada no more.





Lets be honest, we've all probably had that moment when we realize that our drugstore favorites just don't work like the real deal stuff does. I have officially retired my Hard Candy concealers for this shiny new glory.

I love NARS, I think I can say it's my favorite makeup brand & I held off buying this even though all the blogger & vlogger reviews were great because I just couldn't justify the price. Which kinda doesn't make sense because I have no problem buying a NARS blush...The point is, I finally gave in and purchased the Creamy Radiant Concealer in the color Ginger/Medium 2.

I've only used this a couple time but I can already tell you that I love it. It doesn't crease and it doesn't look heavy on the skin. I think the translucent powder from NARS would pair nicely with this. Maybe that will be my next splurge after I finish my Bare Minerals translucent powder.

The Magic Trio


Left to Right
Benefit - the POREfessional
Hard Candy - Glamoflauge
Benefit - High Beam


I have never been into primers. I think their mostly of use to people with oily skin and I don't really have that. Yet, I am now in-love with one. I had a sample of the POREfessional by Benefit and to use it up I kept applying it to my T-zone. One day I mistakenly too a bit too much so I used the excess under my eyes and HOLY. My concealer has never gone onto my skin that perfectly ever, up until now

And just last week it was hot. It was really hot out and I didn't want to wear makeup but I was bored so I was trying to amplify my under eye area and I took a bit of High Beam with my Hard Candy concealer and again HOLY. It completely diminished my circles and make me look more awake. 

Trust me on this one, try it out! 
Do you use any illuminating makeup products in your routine?

First Impressions: Glamoflauge


This is my first Hard Candy product that I've purchased and I must say that I'm not as pleased as I thought I would have been. I  love this concealer, it's creamy and matches me perfectly (the pencil was a good bonus to get too!) everything is great except for the fact that it creases quite a lot under my eyes if I do not use a powder to set it. I know that you should always use a powder but sometimes I’m quite lazy with my makeup and skip it! It's the right amount of brightness and it’s a super heavy coverage, which I don't necessarily need, but I know that there is a better concealer out there for me.

I know for sure this tube is going to last me ages but how do I find a concealer that doesn't crease, I'm so lost guys. What do you guys recommend?
