BROWsatin && FITme Concealer

..Maybelline..

BROWsatin - light
FITme - Shade 10



1. FITme Concealer

Simple to use Doe foot applicator with a long wand to get to the base of the tube.

A swatch on some tissue shows it has a slight orangey tone (good for covering dark circles!)

Shade seems too dark when swatched on my hand...

...But looks quite accurate when next to my face!


2. BROWsatin 

Easy to use double ended brow pencil!
Firstly, the pencil..

Twist-up/Retractable tip ensures it is always sharp and ready to use

Use with a light hand to create a hint of colour, and apply more pressure for a bolder effect

The other end..
Sponge applicator tip with brow powder inside the lid

Smooth and silky finish and in the same shade as the pencil which blends in much better than using separate items!

..PRODUCTS IN USE..

BAREFACED

1. Concealer used on the Right side of the face to show the difference of with and without the concealer.

2. Applied 3 dots of concealer under the remaining eye.

 3. Concealer blended and visibly reduced the appearance of my dark circles! (LOVE)

4. Using the pencil side of the BROWsatin to fill in sparse hairs.

5. Next, use the sponge side to blend everything together for a smoother look.

INSTANTLY look more awake and put-together by just using two products! ^__^

Brow colour matches my hair colour very well! :D (with flash) 


CONCLUSION::

  • Absolutely loveee these two purchases from Maybelline!
  • The concealer is very smooth and not too runny which can make it sheer, or too thick that it can be cakey.
  • Concealer covers my dark circles pretty well without needing a second layer.
  • Brow pencil is easy to use and very handy! - no need to find a brow powder. :)
  • The lightest shade matches my hair colour well - however it may not be suitable for people with lighter hair..
All in all..LOVE.

PARTYYYY..!

Last week I was invited to attend a freshers party in Birmingham! The dress code was 'Back to School' though I didn't see many people dressed up! However, me and two other girlfriends dressed the theme! xD I couldn't record a 'Get Ready with Me' video on my makeup because I forgot my camera :(, but i'll show you guys some selfies of it! XD

 *Freshly done makeup in Natural Lighting*

*2-3hours later in Artificial Lighting with my hair done ~
(looks like i'm wearing contacts but I'm not xD)*

*My outfit for the theme! ~ 
Zara shirt, H&M bow, Dresslink shorts, New Look heels, Michael Kors watch..*


It has been a year since I have been to any parties, so I was superrr excited! XD It's not so much the party that excites me, as the venue was really good but after a while its all the same! But spending time with a bunch of friends and all going crayy is the best part x) However I was the weakest as I was the first one to go home>< but I think I did well since it has been A WHILE lol. Can't wait for the next party which is Halloween! Wonder what i'll dress up as... :D

Hope all you freshers enjoy this time of the year as it is the only time to really let yourself go and have fun! But please make sure you're all safe!!, and stick close to your friends and please don't drink&drive! >_< (sorry for being all mumsie on you, can't help it now that I am an actual mummy! lol xD)


Thanks for reading, speak to you all soon!^^
