Maybelline 'The Eraser' Concealer Review

I was really intrigued when this little tube shot through my letterbox this week. I absolutely hated Maybelline’s ‘ The Eraser’ foundation (greasy and awkard to apply!) but I do however, adore their other concealers, especially the Dream Lumi Touch one (fabulous for under eye circles. If you haven’t tried it, I would highly recommend that you do!)


So needless to say I was interested to see what this would be like...
I really like the packaging. It looks like a dinky little version of the foundation, and feels solid and nice quality. It took about 100 clicks to get the product going as usual with these types of thing… but after it got flowing the level of product it releases with each click seems good.

As for the applicator...

A (Busy) Week in Beauty Products...


OK guys… so I haven’t put up a new blog post for almost 10 days **slaps self on wrist** but there is a good reason, I promise!

I’ve actually been moving house this week (well, technically we moved over the weekend, but it’s taken a whole week to get everything straightened out enough for normal programming to commence!) Anyways… I hope you’ll all forgive me?!

I’m back today to share a few beauty bits that I’ve been loving this week, during the stressful and grueling task of moving house, these products have really helped me through…
First of all and most essential, is a decent hand cream. I’ve never ‘properly’ moved house before (in-between uni and home etc doesn’t really count, as you’re not moving the whole house!) and I didn’t realise quite how badly all the dust and handling cardboard boxes dries your hands out! I’ve been using my gorgeous...

Cream of The Beauty Crop...

Today I thought I would share some of my favourite cream beauty products and my favourite ways to apply them. I adore cream products, regardless of season and shade so today I've done my whole makeup look using some of my favourite cream beauty bits and my favourite brushes.

Synthetic brushes are much better for applying cream products than natural bristles, as they don't absorb the product into the hair surface as much. They also tend to be more hygienic as each synthetic hair shaft is smooth, whereas natural hair shafts are uneven and can collect product (and grow bacteria!) While some synthetic brushes can be stiff and hard to work with, I love the Crown brush Syntho range because the brushes are just so soft and flexible, you get the best of both worlds.

So what's on my face today?
