I have recently turned into a concealer addict.
Don’t know when or how it happened, it just did. And I’m trying to deal with
this new revelation as best as I can. This means I am a sucker for trying out
new concealers as it is my quest to find THE PERFECT one for my skin.
So, over the weekend as I was innocently window
shopping, I came across a MAC store. And like some unexplainable invisible
force (it felt like magic or something – and
who the hell wants to argue with that kind of logic…right?!?) I was drawn
into the multitude of makeup goodness.
As I was browsing, I soon spotted the Pro Conceal
& Correct Palette and I knew that it will be making its way home with me.
This palette comes in 4 shades, Light, Medium, Dark and Deep. I went for Light
as it matches my skin the best.
It has 4 concealers (NC15, NC20, NW10 and NW 20)
and 2 correctors (Pale Yellow and Pale Pink). Even though I have yet to test
them out, since it’s under the Studio Finish range, I know the concealers will
be incredibly creamy and opaque.
Next item that I am super excited about is the
Smashbox Heat Wave Palette. Found this gem at Sephora and it comes with 10 eye
shadows (2 matte and 8 satin/shimmery shades). The packaging isn’t anything to
shout about but it does come with a good size mirror. The palette also came
with a sample sachet of their eyelid primer and a dual ended-shadow brush.
However I was absolutely blown away by the quality
of the eye shadows and the colour combo is beautiful. You can play around with
different looks from natural daytime to amping it up with the darker
shades.
The shadows are highly pigmented and you really do
need a light touch and you are all set. The formula is amazing because they are
the most buttery and silky shadows I have ever played around with. I kept
swatching the tester because I just couldn’t believe how soft they were.
I heard from the Sephora SA that the Heat Wave range
is limited edition so I urge you to go to your nearest Sephora to have a play
around. And trust me, you will love it!
Oops, nearly forgot to mention the prices.
MAC Pro Conceal & Correct Palette retails for
RM145 and Smashbox Heat Wave is at RM169.
