Benefit Fake Up Concealer

The new Benefit Fake Up Crease-Control Hydrating Concealer ($24) will be available this March in three shades.

When I heard Benefit Fake Up Concealer was launching I immediately couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and play!

Hydrating concealer? Check I need some of that considering how dry my eyes are! Crease-control? I need that too please! Thanks every so much.

Hourglass Ambient Powder Brush Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

Hourglass Ambient Powder Brush

The Hourglass Ambient Powder Brush is a nifty little tool for applying Hourglass’s new Ambient Lighting Powder. Whether you want to spend $35 on a brand new brush just for apply this powder is the real question.
