Soap and Glory's kick ass conceal review

For a while now I have been using the collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer, but have never really understood the hype. Yes it's been ok, but I've felt it never really matched my skin tone and was very drying on my skin. So for a while now I've been on the look out for something new... 

I absolutely love watching youtuber's monthly favourite videos, and reading up on products that they have mentioned to get some ideas and inspiration on new things to try. A product that kept cropping up was the Soap and Glory kick ass concealer. Apart from everyone loving the collection 2000 concealer, this seemed to be the second favourite, but extremely over shadowed. 

At £10 a pot, I don't really consider it to be amongst the cheaper drugstore concealers, and so put off buying it until my collection 2000 lasting perfection ran out. I now however regret waiting. 

I unfortunately suffer with quite dry and sensitive skin, even more so now the weather has turned cold. I find that most concealers are very drying, and this just clings to my already dry patches of skin. To my delight, the kick ass concealer doesn't have the same drying affect.

It has a lovely creamy texture, and smooths onto the skin with a flawless finish and drys to be almost like a powder. I apply it with my fingers, as I do with all of my skin products and feel it melts nicely into my skin. 

I am very pleased to say that it gives me amazing coverage from redness and from dark circles under my eyes. I have found with previous concealers, they are either good at covering one or the other. 

It comes in 2 shades, light or medium. As I am very pale skinned I opted for the light shade. In the concealer pot you get an under eye concealer which boasts to have a 'puffease' technology, a long lasting spot concealer and a translucent powder to set. I really like the packaging as its lovely and compact and comes with a handy mirror. 

Overall I would definitely recommend you give this concealer a chance and I would definitely invest another £10 on the product in the future! I am glad I had a little splurge and won't be going back for the collection 2000 concealer again. Money well spent. 

New Blog!!

New Blog

 

Hello my beauties!

 

You may know me from my old blog, Charlotte's fashion and beauty inspiration, or you may be new here! Either way,  hello :)

 

So, I am starting from scratch as I was very slack with updating my previous blog. It is still there for all to read, however, I felt a fresh start may well be the kick start I needed....

 

So let me start by telling you a bit about myself.

 

I'm Charlotte, 21 years young and I work in an opticians. I am very content with life at the moment, and am trying to make the most out of every opportunity to fulfil my dreams,

 

I live with my mum, step-dad and my niece. I have a dog called Flo, who is my world and has got me through very hard times. I also have a tortoise called Theodore and 3 fish. We have another family dog called Jake and 3 chickens.

 

I work as an optical assistant in a small independent opticians with my best friend Amy. I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and have every intention of furthering my education in optics.

 

I started making Youtube videos about a year ago now, and the first step was very nerve wracking! I have been watching Youtube videos for about three years and decided to take the plunge and start sharing my ideas with everyone. I am steadily building an audience on my channel, and am growing in confidence every day, My videos mainly focus on beauty and fashion, as these are keen interests of mine.

 

From Youtubing, I then began to blog, but I feel my heart wasn't truly in it. So, I plan to start a fresh, and set aside time to plan and create posts, and make it as much of a passion of mine as Youtube is.

 

Please feel free to follow me on my journey, and if you have any tips, they are greatly appreciated!

 

Speak soon!

 

Charlotte
