Best Under-eye Concealer Ever!

Thanks to Lisa Eldridge for this great tip, she was right all along. I recently bought Clinique Airbrush Concealer in the shade 04 Neutral Fair and I have to say it is hands down the best under eye concealer I have ever tried.

Various purchases from a long time ago

These are some purchases from last year. I got the stippling brush and shading brush by Samantha Chapman from Love Make Up - I prefer using my MAC 130 instead of the stippling brush. The shading brush is great for using with concealer or for under the lash line shading.
I bought my first Nars blush in the shade Deep Throat from HQhair and I am planning on buying one more - Desire. The blush looks great with my complexion and gives me a nice flush of color, I apply it using my MAC 187, I am hoping that Desire will be the same but then in pink. This has become my go to blush, it just looks perfect every time I wear it.
From Douglas I got the Guerlain Terracotta 4 seasons in 01 Blondes which I use as contour because you can create the color you need depending on the season. I apply the bronzer using Samantha Chapman multitask brush or my Hakuhodo S103.
Finally, I also bought two Clinique gel eyeliners 01 Black Honey(also from Douglas) and 02 True Black(from StrawberryNet), as I stated before they are great, I just have to get used to using gel eyeliner because I always used liquid eyeliner before...

Till next time...

Moisturizers

As I posted before I received a sample of Hope in a Jar by Philosophy when I purchased Purity Made Simple. I was hoping this would become my go to winter moisturizer because I do love Purity Made Simple. But I was wrong! When I applied the cream it stayed like on top of my skin and made my skin really oily, I was hoping my skin would just "drink" it up. But that wasn't the case. After many hours my skin still looked oily so I don't like it at all. In a way I'm sad because I had high expections for this product.
In my search for the perfect winter moisturizer I got a sample of Estee Lauder Hydrationist. Will let you know how that works out. In the mean time I will continue to use Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief. I love Moisture Surge but it is not moisturizing enough for me in the winter that is why I am searching for a better winter moisturizer.
I also got a sample of Estee Lauder DayWear Sheer Tint Release because I have been wanting to test a tinted moisturizer. I tought why not start with this one. I wanted to test the Laura Mercier one but it's too expensive for a tinted moisturizer. But maybe some day I will splurge and buy it... Who knows?

Enjoy the new week!
