Velvet Lashes

My trusted MAC Cosmetics concealer was on its way out and I was on the hunt for a cheaper alternative. Makeup Revolution had recently released a new concealer, the Makeup Revolution Conceal and Define Concealer, apparently a dupe for the loved Tarte Shape Tape which is a huge pricey little number. 

I was unsure on what shade to chose so decided on C4 out of the 18 available shades which is such a good choice compared to other brands who offer only a handful of shades. The product has a lovely rose gold and irridescent packaging with a large sponge applicator.

The concealer is very creamy and slightly thicker then other concealers I have tried and dries a matte finish. I applied this concealer on a manic Monday morning with three little children needing my attention, as I applied this I actually paused and inhaled a deep breath of shock! Not dramatic at all is it....this concealer is everything I have been wanting from a concealer. This concealer not only covers dark circles but doesn't crease which is always the issue I find with concealers. The concealer is easy to apply and blend and lasts all day. I have to admit I am in love and it even beats my MAC concealer! For just £4 this is so worth the money and would highly recommend the Makeup Revolution Conceal and Define Concealer.

I am pretty excited for the month of October, candles, pretty autumnal leaves, hot chocolate and the start of the exciting celebrations that Autumn and Winter bring so I couldn't resist adding these beautiful Halloween pumpkin lights from TKMaxx to my photos to showcase my new MAC lipstick.

I am someone who has to have a dark lip over the autumn winter months otherwise I feel a bit naked! I had my 6 empty products to do Back to MAC and pick my 5th millionth lipstick. I decided I wanted a new deep red and was drawn to a few but in the end I picked Dare You, a Cremesheen finish. The lipstick has blue undertones which suit me the best, the consistency is creamy and my lips feel super soft whilst wearing this lipstick. The lipstick isn't as long wearing as the MAC Matte finishes but the pigmentation is good and the colour is divine, it has an almost shiny sparkly look to it, it has what appears to be tiny little bits of sparkle in it but is not obvious or chunky so that's a bonus. So if you are after a new red lipstick then look no further then MAC Dare You.

Have you tried this or have a favourite red lip?
