Estee Lauder Disappear - Smoothing Creme Concealer Review & Swatches

Estee Lauder -Disappear - Smoothing Concealer

I hate my dark under eye circles so when I see a product that promises to get rid of them I just cant help my self - it has to come home with me!

This set me back £22 which I think is the most expensive concealer I have ever purchased. You do get 15ml of product which I think justifys it a little as it will last a long time and its very pigmented.

Did i like it? Well, as I said, I originally bought this for my under eyes but to be honest i'm really not a fan! Its very drying, even more so than the collection lasting perfection concealer, and it doesn't last all that well on me. Its not that it fades, it's more the fact that is dries down so much it ends up highlighting them rather than disguising them. I find however that it doesn't settle into fine lines, so if you have a problem with creasing this could be the one for you!

I then tried to use this to cover blemishes which I found was the best option but again it doesn't last all that long, I'd say a couple of hours before you need to reapply and that's with powder over the top!

Overall, I am disappointed with this product and its not worth the price at all in my opinion. I don't find my self reaching for it on a daily basis and I much prefer my Rimmel Match Perfection concealer for under my eyes and the Collection Lasting concealer for blemishes - they are tonnes better and much cheaper!

MUA Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches - Heaven & Earth

Makeup Academy Eyeshadow Palette

What MUA say:

A beautiful collection of eye shadows that will enhance your eyes to give the perfect natural look. 

This Palette is such a bargain at only £4 from Superdrug.
The packaging is not all that pretty but that's not the end of the world? The eye shadows are nice and soft and very pigmented. You don't need to pile it on to notice them like you do with some other brands.

The colours that come in this palette are all shimmery. I really like this pallette, its quite complementing for green eyes.  I love the 4th from the left and the one below it as you can probably see from the pictures below. I would buy this particular palette again just because i use the majority of the colours and they are nice and natural for every day use.

MUA Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches - Starry Night

Makeup Academy Eyeshadow Palette

What MUA say:

A dramatic collection of eye shadows that will add ultimate glamour to your night out. 

The colours that come in this palette are gorgeous. They are lovely for a night out as they are quite striking.
They are nice soft eyeshadows and are nice and shimmery. They don't last all that long but they are such a bargain that I suppose you can't expect too much.
I don't find myself reaching for this palette most days although I don't have a problem with it, if that makes sense. I do love the purples but i much prefer the heaven and earth palette.
