Glamoflauge From Hard Candy *a review*

Hey Lovelies,

I *MUST* share this concealer with you all... it's nothing new and came out on the market a while ago but I recently got my hands on it again (I lost the first one I bought when I moved).
I've been planning a review on this for some time now but without the actual product in my hands to take pictures and swatches I felt like it wasn't a good idea.
I refuse to steal photos on the internet for my post... ( all photos used on my blog are my own unless stated otherwise ).
Anyyyways, enough rambling... I probably am the only person who really cares whether or not the photos are actual photos I took myself and did not steal somewhere else.

So here is what the all so famous "Glamoflauge" looks like:
Pretty cute eh?? I like the packaging, I find it to be very teenagerish (I know that's not a word) :P
But seriously, the packaging really is great because it comes in a squeeze tube form.
Hard Candy calls this concealer a "Heavy duty concealer" and I think I know why, it really is Heavy duty.. I bet you could hide your face completely under this and disappear....forever...
I wouldn't want to try :P
This is by far the best concealer I have yet to try...
One thing I find strange about this concealer is that it comes in only 3 different shades, I am not complaining because the "light" shade fits my skin tone nicely but this might be an issue for some.
The texture of this concealer is quite liquid, it's more like a foundation kind of texture but after rubbing it on my skin it became more thick. Here's a couple swatches for you to see:
It applies on smoothly and is very easy to work with. This concealer sells for about 6$ if I remember correctly and can be purchased at your local Walmart. ( Product selection varies at all Walmarts, some of them carry the whole line, others only have a few items in stock ). Lucky for me, I was able to buy it at my local Walmart.
If your Walmart doesn't sell this concealer, you can always check on ebay but expect to pay more.. 
or you could always ask a friend/relative from another city to buy and ship it to you.

Here I have a before and after photo for you. I didn't have any scars or black eye circles to cover so this is the best way I could think of to show you how well this product works.
There's not much covering that needs to be done to my arm.. :P But you can still see a difference.

PROS:
- A little goes a long way, not much product is needed to cover a problem area. (the product will go bad before I run out)
- Very budget friendly,
- Doesn't have a strong smell to it,
- Covers almost anything that needs to be covered,
- Comes in a squeeze tube form,
- Very easy to work with,

CONS:
- Not as long lasting as I would hoped, (you may need to touch up ones or twice during the day)
- Not easily accessible, (not all Walmarts carry this concealer)

Overall, I recommend this product to everyone and would definitely re-purchase ones I run out.
I give it a 4 out of 5.
Happy Friday all,

Revlon Beyond Natural concealer & Highlighter * a review*

Hey Lovelies,

How was your week-end?? Mine was just fine :) I had a blast with my little family of 3.. We went shopping ... ( HUGE nail polish haul), played outside and had some YUMMY pizza from the pizzaria near my house :).
Anyways... enough talking about me here, I want to share with you all this GREAT product I discovered from Revlon a few months back.

It's called Beyond Natural Concealer & Highlighter
I purchased this concealer/highlighter a few months ago, I spotted this bad boy in a clearance bin.
I think I payed about $3 for this, not sure what the retail price is.
I didn't think much of it when I first bought it because I was already in Love with a concealer/highlighter and didn't think this one would really be any better.

Let's talk about the product now shall we...

************

The Concealer.

This concealer works just fine. I usually use this under my eyes and it covers well. ( Mind you that I don't have much that needs covering under my eyes )
One thing I like about this concealer is that it blends in flawlessly, it really disappears into my skin.
One thing I dislike, it is not long lasting and tends to run a bit. On warm days, it doesn't really stay in place. :(
 Overall, for this concealer I give it a 6/10
I don't recommend if heavy coverage is needed.

************

The Highlighter.

The highlighter (unlike the concealer) I truly adore!!! I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but this Highlighter has goldish shimmers witch works perfectly with my skin tone. I wear this under my brow bone, top or my cheeks, well everywhere natural light reflects and it looks BRILLIANT!
To this day, this is my favorite highlighter because it truly looks natural.

Overall, for this highlighter I give 9/10
I would recommend to anyone!!!

Overall this is a great product. I love experimenting with the highlighter. :)

Ever tried this product from Revlon? If so what are your thoughts.

Kisses and fireworks,
