NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer


Concealer has become something I've grown to be obsessed with recently, before I didn't realise how much of a difference it can make to someone's face. I love the look of bright, fresh under-eyes along with flawless skin. I wanted to find a new concealer and due to me hearing such fantastic reviews about NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer I was determined to go out and get my hands on one.

The picture above is of my concealer in 'Amande' however my complexion was between Caramel and Amande. I didn't want the concealer to be too light on my face through which I decided to play it safe and get Amande. I honestly am happy with the shade I purchased, on the other hand I think it would've been much better if it was slightly lighter to really brighten up my eyes.
Other than that, the texture really is creamy, it gives perfect medium coverage and lasts practically all day on my face. Luckily I don't have any blemishes or acne on my face, although I do suffer from mild bags under my eyes along with a bit of darkness around them and I believe this certainly banishes my dark circles and makes me look wide awake!


The application is so easy and straightforward to use, I just simply dab some under my under eye section and use my concealer brush to blend it in evenly.
As for creases under the eye, this concealer is perfect for avoiding that. I haven't had any problems with that situation at all. I'm so happy with it. I might re-purchase it but I'd rather look for a concealer that's perfect for my caramel skin tone.

Thanks for reading. If you'd like to purchase this you can get it for £21 at any NARS counter or online.

Ways To Get Rid of Acne Fast/Overnight




Nobody is perfect and we all have our skin problems now and again. I know one of the most common skin problems most people suffer with is Acne. Luckily I never get spots, I can't remember the last time I've had a single spot on my face and when one does appear on my face I can instantly get rid of it overnight. So I thought I'd give a few tips to you lovely readers on how to prevent and get rid of them as fast as possible.

ICE

Ice can easily eliminate pimples and soothe spots as it helps blood circulation on the area. It also freezes the pores and removes dirt and oil on the skin. Whether it is crushed ice or cubed ice, they are both as effective.

HONEY

Honey helps speed up the healing process as it is a source of natural antibiotics. Another benefit of using honey is that it prevents infections.
To use this on your skin dip a fresh cotton bud in honey and put it onto your affected area then leave it on for a while, I'd say half an hour, then wash your skin and rinse off with lukewarm water, not cold!!


HONEY/CINNAMON

A better, more effective option would to mix honey and cinnamon together and apply it all over your spots before going to bed. On the following morning rinse your face well with cold water. You will see such a huge difference as the swelling should decrease. This is something I do regularly whenever I get spots and it never fails!


TOOTHPASTE

This treatment ALWAYS works for me! Apply some white toothpaste on the affected skin before bed and in the morning rinse your face. Whenever I do this, my spots/pimples completely disappear the next morning. This is the most effective way to easily get rid of acne for me.


STEAM

Either way steam is amazing for your skin because it opens up your pores and allows your skin to breathe. Though when you have acne its much more beneficial. It helps get rid of all the bacteria, dirt and oil.
If you don't have a face steamer at home, fill a big container with steaming hot water and put your face at an appropriate level from the water to allow the steam to get to your face. Do not do this for over 20mins! Once you're done dry your face and rinse your face with lukewarm water, followed by moisturising your skin. 




To prevent acne ensure that you cleanse your face thoroughly EVERY night so your pores don't get clogged, particularly from makeup. You could also look into Mineral make-up which won't cause your skin to get worse. As well as looking for the right foundation for your skin type, especially if you tend to have oily skin!

Thank you for reading xx

How to Prevent and Get Rid of Acne!

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control - Hydrating spot treatment



I've recently purchased this treatment due to my skin having random breakouts, I was concerned about what to do about it, through which it lead me to this and I definitely don't regret getting this!
This formula is made to penetrate deep down and help clear away your spots, and in under a week of using it day and night after washing my face I could instantly see a change within my skin.

I am in love with this treatment, it feels so cool and smooth which glides easy along the skin. A bonus would be how rapid it dries too! After around 10 seconds of application, your skin absorbs this formula instantly, leaving it feeling fresh and rejuvenated! Although I do recommend using a very light moisturiser after applying this as it can leave your skin feeling fairly dry after a while.

If you're feeling insecure about acne and looking for a quick way to clear it up, I certainly recommend this, it really works!
You can buy this anywhere such as Asda, Boots or Superdrug for £4.99
