Maybelline Super Stay Concealer & Powder | Review | December 9th

A while ago I purchased the Maybelline Super Stay Concealer and Powder. I didn't bother with the liquid because it doesn't have a pump. It's 2013, you'd think all liquid foundations would have pumps by now. This is a relatively new collection in Priceline so I thought I would give it a go. The whole "waterproof" label is what made me want to buy it especially for the summer. As you know, I live in Queensland, Australia, it gets so humid and hot - sometimes it feels like my face is raining sweat. So I thought I would give this a try so here is my review on it.

The concealer costed $14.95 and the powder costed $18.95. These are just standard prices here but I do think the concealer is in weird packaging. 

 

The concealer is very thick, the picture above is just me slightly dabbing the product onto my hand. It's too thick in my opinion, especially because the tiniest bit when I try to blend it it kind of gets all over a really large area of my face and if I don't blend it all around it just kind of won't blend. As it thins the colour gets really light and it's way too light for my face, although on my hand it looked pretty similar to my foundation. 

I don't like it, it's too thick and it doesn't cover blemishes for very long at all. 

 

I really don't like this powder. This is a bit of a negative post but I feel like I tell you guys what you should buy so I think I should do one of something you should not buy. This powder feels actually really nice if you just rub your finger in it. So if you were buying a powder because it has a pleasant texture for your finger then this one is a good one. After a while after I've applied this all over my face it starts to look like you've only applied it in certain spots and it becomes an orangey colour as well after a while. I don't like it and neither of these two products are waterproof at all. They're just kind of thick and clay-like which I really do not like.

So that's my opinion on these two products - Have you tried them and did you have a different experience than I did with them? 

Priceline | Mini Haul + Maybelline BB Samples!

I was in Priceline today before my class started, like I usually am and picked up a few products in the Maybelline buy 2 get 1 free sale and St Ives 20% off products. I also received my free BB cream samples from Maybelline from the sampling competition thing! So I'm a bit excited to try that. 

The first Maybelline products that caught my eye last week when I was in there was the Superstay powder, concealer and liquid foundation. I bought the powder and concealer, it promises to be waterproof and to be honest I'm not sure what to expect from these products. The reason I bought them was because it is so hot and it's getting hotter - so inevitably I sweat like a maniac. I'm hoping that the powder helps my liquid stay a little bit longer through the heat/lotsofsweat. I didn't purchase the liquid simply because it doesn't have a pump - I like my pumps because otherwise a lot of product gets stuck at the bottom which used to be my problem with the Revlon colourstay foundation. If I really like the powder and concealer though I will be buying the liquid though. 

Lately I've been looking for a really nice coral pink kind of colour and I think I found the perfect one! It is a Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipcolour in Coral Pop. It's really nice and doesn't dry my lips out which a lot of lipsticks can do. I tried it on today and the colour is great I love it.

The last thing I bought was the St Ive Apricot scrub because my Clean & Clear Daily Scrub ran out (thanks to my brother) and I wanted to try something new. I've been using the same scrub for 4 years and quite frankly, I'm bored. So because it was 20% off I bought this and I'm really excited to use it. 

So that concludes my little haul and I'm sure I'll probably have another one this month considering... Priceline is like crack to me right now I am so addicted and I can't stop.

What beauty products have you been trying this month?
