Maybelline Fit Me Concealer Swatch and Review


If I were to run out of the house, I'd still throw some concealer on me. And that is simply because whenever I'm tired or worn out, the first place it shows are my eyes. They're an indicator of everything: how much I've slept, how tired I am, how much I've been staring at a screen. You can even check my mood.
That's why, the best investment for me is in concealers. I'm not a fan of heavy concealers that make you look photoshopped more than anything and feel just as fake. I like the light ones that get the job done while leaving you looking naturally fresh.

Well, this is one of them.

Initially, I didn't know if the color would be right, as I picked it up in Sand, and it did seem more yellow than anything,but the good news is, it actually "fits me". Which means, a dab here and a blend there and it looks like you were born with it. And that,was unintentional. I just now realized that Maybelline have that "maybe she was born with it" line.... The subconscious works well.
In any case, I like how light it is and how you need such a small amount to cover up so much! 
That's another bonus, it has really good coverage. Like I said, I like my coverage to look natural and this does the job very well.

As you can see, it even blends with my somewhat pinkish hand. In the beginning I would slap it on in industrial quantities, until I realized it really just needs a dab to cover up nicely.
I also like that it doesn't crease, especially on my dry skin, and not even when I use oil underneath. So I suppose, even with oily skin, you'd be fine.
And the formula, well that's just a great one. Super light and not at all powdery or flakey. Really one of the best ones I've tried.

All In All: Definitely a repurchase!

Rimmel 60 Seconds: Bright Back At You

I will start off by saying that this color has been the hardest to photograph and will admit to tweaking it in Photoshop,because for some reason it always ended up looking baby blue,which is a far cry from the turquoise it actually is.

With that being said,this is a great summer color!
I'm all about mint nail polishes and this color is simply the more "kapow!" version of that.
Not being the biggest Rimmel nail polish user in the past,I haven't really followed their collections too closely,but on a warm afternoon last week,I saw this polish staring at me at a ridiculously low price.And one does not simply ignore ridiculously low prices.
We're human,we're easily convinced by pricing!


So I gave it a go and shortly after I had it on my nails:




60 Seconds? Pretty muchI don't usually believe polishes that tell me they dry in 1,10 or 60 seconds,because well...they don't.
But this one,even if it went a bit over 60 seconds, did dry remarkably fast.
It also lasted surprisingly long. What I was also happy about was,it didn't stain my nails! The last Rimmel I tried left me a bit blue,which isn't too awesome to deal with.

Flat brush?
I've heard complaints about the flat brush,but I actually like it. It's cut in a curve so that it pretty much goes with the curve of your cuticles when you apply it. Means less mess,and we like it,oh yes! (What a sad attempt at doing a rhyme...I'll try again tomorrow)

Like I said,it was hard to photograph because as you can see here,it got the color in the bottle right and made my nails look blue.




Will I be wearing this again?
You bet I will!
