Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette 07 Review + Photos

Hello all. So today I am going to be doing a review on my beloved Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette in the shade 07. This palette comes with two concealers, one corrector, and one sheer pressed powder. The concealers work great on any skin tone- whether the user has red or yellow undertones to their skin. Now the corrector is very yellow. However, it is great for combating purple toned under-eye circles.

I cannot stress enough how much this is an essential item for anyone who travels a lot. First of all, the packaging is light, thin, and extremely easy to store. Also, the fact that it has two different shade concealers enables you to customize the ultimate concealer color for you. Plus, it comes with a great corrector and a powder to set your concealer.


The consistency of the concealers and the corrector are/is exceptionally creamy. Because of this, it is particularly amazing to use during the winter time.  The powder is nice to have if you do not have anything else to use, but I do not prefer it since it has a bit of shimmer. It lasts up to 8 hours during the winter and spring. However, during the summer and autumn it creases like no other, especially seeing that it is only crease-free for the first 2 hours after applying it.

     


Generally, I do think this is one of the best drugstore concealers out there- for winter and spring. Unless you live in  an insanely humid climate like me, it should not crease otherwise. I definitely recommend this concealer for people with dry skin because of the creamy formula. This concealer palette retails for USD$10.49 and can be purchased wherever Sonia Kashuk is sold(e.g. Target).

Thank you for your time,

NYX 'Tanned' Megashine Lipgloss Review + Swatches

Today I will be doing a review on the NYX Megashine Lipgloss in Tanned.



First of all, the packaging of this is absolutely adorable, with a bow at the top of the cap. The plastic tube it comes in is very slick and easy.

 

Thankfully, the product itself is as good(maybe a bit better) than  the packaging. This lipgloss is actually quite sheer with a tint of tan-peachiness to it. It is not sticky at all and glides on your lips like a dream. The shine this gives your lips is absolutely stunning, especially since there are no shimmery particles in it and does not accentuate any fine lines on your lips.


This lipgloss lasts on my lips for 3-4 hours before completely fading, which is pretty good considering this is any extremely smooth lip gloss.(usually smooth lipglosses tend to slide off your lips a lot faster).


Overall, I honestly can say these are my favorite drugstore lipglosses. Hands. Down. This lipgloss retails for $5.50 and can be purchased on NYX’s official website and ULTA.

Thank you for your time,
