Covergirl TruBlend Fix Stick Concealer - Deep D5-6-7

 
Hello all! I have a new product to share with you all! It's the new Covergirl TruBlend FixStick Concealer ($6-7). I have to admit, that I am not a fan of Covergirl and when they have new products, I don't even look their way. It was my obsession with concealers that compelled me to buy this. Along with new concealers, Covergirl has new TruBlend foundation to go along with them. There are SIX shades available of this concealer and I got the darkest: Deep D5-7.
 
 





This concealer is the typical crayon that you can twist up and down from a point at the bottom. This was VERY creamy and easy to blend on the skin. I definitely say it was BETTER at blending than the L'Oreal True Match Concealer which I review side by side HERE. This was a good match for my skin tone is reference to DEEPNESS, but it was the WRONG UNDERTONE. I am more yellow toned and this was more NEUTRAL. Actually, this whole new Covergirl line is catered more to neutral skin tones.

 

Overall, I thought this was a good concealer on how well it blended, lasted on the skin, and the it gives good medium coverage, BUT I did return it. I could not use it how I wanted to because of the mix-match undertone. On me, it make my under eye area look TIRED and in natural light you could DEFINITELY pick up on ALL the little areas on my cheeks I tried to cover using it.

Thanks for reading!

Drink up, beauties!

L'Oreal Infallible Silkissime Eyeliners in Black, Plum, & Highlighter

 
The Infallible Silkissime liner ($7.99-$9.99 USD), it's the new eyeliner from L'Oreal. For me in the past, L'Oreal was my go to brand for all things eyeliner. Recently, it's mostly misses and money wasted on broken promises BUT these Silkissime is definitely a game changer!
 
Claims from L'Oreal website:
  • Glides like silk.
  • Soft like silk.
  • Up to 16 Hour Wear
Indulge your eyes in silk. Glide on smooth intensity with our first silk inspired liquid pencil. Introducing Silkissime by Infallible for 16-hours of intense color from dusk until dawn.
 
 
 
There are four available colors and I purchases 3: black, plum, and highlighter. Are these eyeliner silky and creamy? YES! I'm was very impressed how EASY they went on the eyes. Even though they are VERY creamy; they are nearly budge-proof on the TOP eyelid. On the WATERLINE, all three vary very differently! 16hour wear? Phptt! Not a chance, but nice try L'Oreal! The Black eyeliner I got 6 1/2 hours of wear before MAJOR smudging on the top and fading of the waterline. The Plum lasted about 4 hours on the waterline, and Highlighter shade was the shortest at about 1-2 hours before it COMPLETELY disappeared! If I had to recommend a shade, GO FOR BLACK! I compared it to the Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil in Perversion and they were nearly the SAME on staying power and intensity!





Highlighter, Plum, & Black

Overall, I do love these eyeliners! They may vary in the waterline, but if you are looking for some new eyeliners, I definitely recommend checking these guys out.

Tried the L'Oreal Infallible Silkissimes already? Loved it or hated it? Let me know!
Thanks always for reading!
