Maybelline Master Conceal Review!!

Hello everyone!
Recently, Maybelline has come out with a ton of new products including this Master Conceal Camouflaging Concealer. I haven't heard too much about this product yet, but everything that I've heard, so far, has been positive. Therefore, I decided to pick this concealer up and try it out. 
Ive been using this concealer for a couple of weeks now and its awesome. I dont have a single bad thing to say about it, so I'm going to keep this review short and sweet by using some bullet points. 
  • It is is medium-full coverage and is buildable without looking cakey.
  • The packaging is easy to use and sanitary. It is just a squeezy tube.
  • The price is great. Its around $7.99.
  • There is not many shades in the range, but the fair shade is perfect for me.
  • It lasts all day.
  • It doesn't crease under my eyes.
  • A little goes a LONG way. I use a tiny dot. (photo example below) 
  • I wear it under my Laura Mercier mineral powder foundation and it looks flawless!

I used this much and it was still a tad too much!



Before and After!
In the before photo you can see some blemishes & dark circles. In the after photo you can see how amazingly this concealer covered those areas.

Final look!
This is how my foundation looks after applying the Maybelline concealer, Laura Mercier mineral foundation and some bronzing powder.  (I was only going to the grocery store, so I didnt bother with eye makeup lol)

Review! First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy



I recently ordered the First Aid Beauty Eye Duty: Triple Remedy from Sephora because I've been looking for a new under eye concealer.  I've been wanting to try this product out for a while now, but the $36 price tag was holding me back. I decided to go ahead and splurge on this product since I just ran out of the under eye concealer I had been using. I also try to justify it in my mind by telling myself that its not just an under eye concealer, It has long term skin benefits because its an eye cream as well. I've seen a lot of good reviews of this product on Youtube and other blogs, so I'm super excited to tell you my thoughts on this product!


Claims:

On the First Aid Beauty it describes Eye Duty Triple Remedy as "An eye treatment that instantly brightens, depuffs, and smooths". It also states that it is a complete eye treatment & delivers "serious long- term skin effects". In the long term it is supposed to improve the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. If this product lives up to the claims, It sounds pretty amazing.

Packaging:
I'm not usually super picky on packaging, as long as its not messy or hard to use, I am fine. But, I would just like to point out the packaging on this one particular product, because It serves as part of the under eye treatment. The applicator is a shiny stainless steel metal tip which helps to depuff your eyes. It is actually very cold to the touch, so it is very rejuvenating! Also, in the cap there it two little notches so that when you put the cap on, it actually plugs the hole on the applicator so that product doesn't squirt out in the lid. I thought that was a nice little touch to keep things mess free and keep you from wasting product. I love little details like that, especially ones that help you get the most for your money.
Application:
After I apply my foundation or BB cream, I just squirt out a tiny dot under both eyes and massage it in using the metal applicator. The metal applicator is probably my favorite part of this product, it really wakes up your eyes because it feels super cold! Then, i go back and blend out the areas I couldn't reach with the applicator with my fingertips. Before I set it with powder or start my eye makeup, I let it set for about 5 minutes like I would with an eye cream. 

Wear:
The first time I used it I noticed that you can feel it tightening under your eyes. I really like that because it actually feels like its working on your eyes. It is very moisturizing but not oily. I feel like you should really let the product set, after applying it, for 5 to 10 minutes because it needs time to absorb into your skin. Sometimes I wont even go back and set it with powder and it still stays throughout the day. One major concern I had when I first felt how moisturizing it was that it would smudge my mascara throughout the day. Thankfully, no smudges occurred. It doesn't settle into fine lines or melt throughout the day. It stays where you put it. It is very brightening! It looks very natural, not like your wearing an under eye concealer, and makes you look fresh faced and awake.

Thoughts:
I like it a lot! I honestly cant say anything negative about this product except for the price. You really do get what you pay for though. It works really well for me. It feels amazing and looks amazing. Its not cakey or makeup-y, it honestly just feels like an under eye cream. But it makes your under eyes look beautiful and bright! It conceals very well. I also got my mom to try it and she loves it too! She says it feels like the puffiness is being sucked out of her under eyes when she uses it. She is also a huge fan of the cold metal tip. Overall I really love this product. I don't feel like I wasted my money at all. I would repurchase it when i run out. It works well for all ages; I'm 20 and I loved it and my mom is 42 and she loves it! Below are the before and after photos. As you can see, it looks very natural and undetectable, but it took all the pink and purple tones out from under my eyes.

Revlon Photoready Concealer in Medium

I love this concealer! I bought the wrong shade, so I don't use it on most of my face. I found that it works great on my under eye circles! It completely hides them! It has an orangey hue to it which would suck if i was using it on the rest my my face. But the orangey hue works great because it cancels out the blue and purple tones under my eyes! I wouldn't wear this alone without any foundation because then under my eyes would just look strange and a bit orange underneath. But once you put on your foundation you look wide awake!
Below is a photo of my eyes without the concealer (on top) and with concealer (on bottom). I also put it on my lids.
