Soap & Glory Kiss Ass Concealer | Review






Hey girlie's!!!

So I've been umming and ahhing as to whether to buy this 'Kick Ass Concealer' for a super long time and I've finally decided i had to have it, i mean its just too nifty not to buy. Soap and Glory offer two shades of their 'Kick Ass Concealer' either Light or Medium, i picked up Light, i would of ultimately gone for the Medium but it was out of stock. The little 3 step concealer consists of a pink toned concealer which is great to conceal those under eye dark circles and to brighten up the eye area, a yellow toned concealer that is great for blemishes and a little setting powder to set the concealer and prevent any creasing or slipping. 

I found both concealers super creamy in texture and really easy to blend into my skin, although this shade is slightly too light for me it still blends well and ends up being a great match for my skin tone, i use my 'Real Techniques' deluxe crease brush to blend this concealer out, weird i know but it works a treat. The setting powder is also lovely and sets the concealer completely and feels so silky smooth afterwards, i did find that using the little powder puff that's supplied can be quite tricky as it so small so i just use one of my brushes instead and it works just as well. As for staying power... I definitely suggest using the setting powder to set the concealer into place, when i haven't used the powder it did slip abit on me and i found if i touched my under eye area it would rub the concealer off purely because it hadn't set, but with the powder over the top it doesn't budge so that's not too much of an issue for me.

The packaging as always with Soap & Glory products is lovely, its so girly and quirky and right up my street. I love how compact it is as well as usually something that holds 3 products and a mirror would be alot bigger but it actually a lovely size and easy to carry around with you or fit into your makeup bag.

All in all i do really like this concealer, it reminds me of the same amount of coverage that the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer provides under the eyes, and the blemish side of the concealer was great for covering redness around my nose. I also think this is great value for money, its priced at £10 in Boots which i think is fab considering your getting 2 concealers, a setting powder and you get the little powder puff and mirror within the packaging, so there's lots for your money really.

Let me know if youve tried this concealer and what other Soap & Glory makeup you suggest, id love to know.

E.L.F Conditioing Lip Balm | Review


Hey girlie's!!!

I recently made an E.L.F order so i thought id pick up the much talked about Conditioning Lip Balms. I decided on 'Mellow Melon' and 'Peaceful Pink'!!! Each lip balm has SPF 15 with vitamins A & E and claims to relieve and condition lips. These lip balms do definitely live up to my expectations, they are both really creamy and super moisturising and leave my lips feeling super smooth and conditioned. I also love the packaging, they are abit big for your makeup bag but regardless of that the packaging seems very sturdy, the lid is extremely secure and wont be unscrewing itself in your handbag and i also think they look more expensive than their bargain price of £3.50, however i purchased mine when they had their 60% off everything offer so i only paid £1.40 for each balm whoop, that's one thing i love about E.L.F they always have amazing offers and deals on. Anywhooo onto what i think of each balm...

Mellow Melon



Mellow melon is a coral/pinky shade, i was so surprised with how pigmented this shade is considering this is only a lip balm but the colour pay off is really impressive. I also adore the nice glossy finish the balms leave on the lips and it isn't sticky or tacky what so ever either.  

Peaceful Pink


Peaceful Pink is baby pink colour when swatched, but once applied to the lips it gives you an ever so slight baby pink tint, its not as pigmented as mellow melon but then it is a lighter shade so that was to be expected. Like mellow melon this shade leaves a gorgeous glossy finish to the lips and isn't sticky or tacky at all.

All in all I'm super happy i picked these up, i think their great for days when you don't wont to wear a bright lip but you still want a small amount of colour or days when your not wearing much makeup and want to look more natural, even if your going on holiday these balms would be great to keep your lips protected whilst in the sun because of the added SPF. If you haven't tried these already id definitely suggest giving them a go.


Did you take advantage of E.L.F's 60% off offer??? What did you buy???
