Maybelline FIT concealer- Review

I was keen to try out this new (relatively) concealer by Maybelline. It's from their line 'FIT' which is supposed to be able to 'fit' your tone to make it look like you're not wearing any makeup at all.

I bought the shade 35 deep (which was the darkest available) because I have a tan to dark skin colour. 

Below I have posted a picture of my eyes before the colour and then with it. I honestly wasn't that happy about the product. Like most concealers, they don't cater to Indian skin (unless its an indian beauty brand). And by Indian skin i mean tan to dark skin like mine. The concealer was hard to work with and hard to blend. When blended it still looks 'white' and noticeable against my skin colour. However, after a while the concealer was less apparent as it set into my skin. Generally I would be apply some form of powder or foundation over the concealer to blend it in but I wanted to try it out as per how it was. 

I think this product is good for lighter coloured skin tones, it isnt that cheap (AUD $14) therefore I wouldn't be repurchasing it.

Took a photo in natural lighting but the brown-ness of the product wasnt showing through so I took a photo with the flash below and the colour is more close to real life.

Formula 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox Ultra- Cleansing Mud Mask

I bought this mask  a while back after I had seen dulcecandy do a review/haul. She said she 'absolutely loved this product'. So  I thought Ill see what shes talkin about. This product is around $6-7. I thought it was a good price since you get so much product, and a single masks often  ends up costing $3 each.

 After washing the mask off, your face does feel ridiculously soft. Its amazing what this product can do for your skin. It states 'this super-cleansing detox mask cleanses impurities for a clearer, brighter compelexion', this is completely true. I definitely noticed my skin was much brighter and it looked very fresh after using this product.

Its best to apply a thin layer of freshly washed skin. The smell is very subtle, so its great for those who are not fond of overbearing smells. I think this is a great product, which I love applying on the weekends as my 'pick me up' product for my skin. Its never disappointed me and the smell provides a great relaxation aroma, making you feel like youve just visited a salon.

Whats your favourite face mask? Have any of you tried this product? Let me know in the comments below!

Elizabeth Arden Intervene Radiance Boosting Face Cream

This has got to be my third tub of this moisturiser by Elizabeth Arden. I had started using it last year, when I was recommended by the beautician because of my dry skin. I have to say when I started using it, the results were amazing and my skin felt very smooth. This moisturiser was only good for the winters because it felt very heavy on my skin during the summers (however I still continued to use it throughout the summer, which was fine as long as I didnt pile on any other products like foundation).

The smell is a little strong, but I ended up really liking it. It's hard to describe the smell, its almost like a perfumey sort of smell, not natural at all (as I described Bobbi Brown to be).

The website describes the product as:

This multi-benefit moisturiser immediately restores skin's appearance for a radiant, clear, natural looking glow. Over time, naturally-derived Biodormin™ technology supports skin's natural cell metabolism rate to help fight the visible effects caused by stress.

I later found out that this was more for older women skin, and thats why at the beginning of the year I started noticing that my skin was no longer benefiting from this product. I couldnt feel like it was working its magic and with anything you use for a long time, your body becomes 'immune' as I like to call it. Therefore the effects of the product are minimal.

 Benefits:

• Immediately restores skin's appearance for a radiant, clear, natural looking glow.
• Helps even skin tone and texture.
• Helps minimise the look of fine lines and combat the appearance of new ones.
• Provides deep hydration to replenish and revitalise so skin stays younger looking longer.

I have decided to stop using this product after I finished this tub. Although I thoroughly enjoyed using this product when I started, I dont think its worth the money ($90). Im looking around for another face moisturiser, at the moment Im eyeing Bobbi Browns collection.

Let me know what you guys think.
