Lancôme | Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer: Review and Swatches
For years I'd struggled with finding a foundation that worked for me but when I tried the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Long Wear 24H Foundation (reviewed here), I instantly fell in love. To this day, it is still a holy grail of mine but interestingly, I was not a fan of the Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage Concealer (reviewed here), which I found way too viscous and sticky. So naturally, I was pretty excited to hear that Lancôme is adding another concealer to the Teint Idole Ultra Wear family. Available in 20 shades and promising lightweight, full-coverage, the new Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer (C$44 for 13 ml) is already getting a lot of buzz. So is this new Teint Idole concealer as amazing as its foundation counterpart? Read my review to find out......

Yves Saint Laurent | All Hours Concealer: Review and Swatches

Yves Saint Laurent | All Hours Concealer: Review and Swatches
When it comes to deciding what to review on the blog, I usually aim to write and swatch products that are new and buzz-worthy. As a result, I often don't have time to write about older releases that I use regularly in my daily routine. Therefore, I wanted to dedicate today's post to an amazing concealer I've discovered from Yves Saint Laurent. Released in Summer 2017, the All Hours Concealer ($46 CAD for 5 ml) is a beautiful, medium to high coverage liquid concealer that applies and looks like a dream. I was sent a sample of it in a shade that was too dark for me but because I enjoyed the formulation so much, I went out and bought the right shade. This rarely happens since I get lots of samples to play with so you know that means something. To read all about this concealer and see some before and after swatches, click......
