Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

I don't own too many Pressed Powders even though i am quite oily, i know it doesn't make sense! Anyway i came across this and had never tried it!

It retails at £3.99 from most retailers, so definitely a low budget powder.

The packaging could be better, but seems pretty sturdy.

The shade i got was 004 Sandstorm and i have fairly light skin.

 This powder is lovely, finely milled (annoying word- but necessary) and works! Once applied on the skin the powder is not visible at all! It is transparent so doesn't give coverage but it absorbs all the oil. Another  plus about not having coverage, is that it won't look cakey on the skin.

 It claims up to 5 hours of oil control, and i agree! So this one is perfect for those of you who go to school or work for 5 hours. You will need to touch up if you are very oily though!

Overall i really like this product, and would recommend to anyone.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

This has to be one of my all time favourite concealers and it has been raved about a lot in the beauty world!
You can purchase this from Boots here for £4.19.

This Concealer is liquid which i prefer for under my eyes, as it is not as dehydrating (i think so anyway :/).
Another point is that it does not make my blemishes/spots worse the day after i take it off.

When i have dark under eye circles (which are often) it really does conceal them and does not wear off, so makes me look like i have slept for 12 hours for 12 hours
!
Though I have found when i apply it under my eyes, after a long day it does tend to crease! You can apply a primer and this problem will go away.

It applies with a soft tip brush type thing, it is easy to apply (great for people in a rush).

Tip: After you have applied it DON'T rub as this smears it to other parts of your face, not the part you actually want to conceal. The best way which i have found is to dab lightly and it works a treat!
