• Graduation ceremony in the City Hall

    I AM AN OFFICIAL GRADUATE STUDENT NOW!! WOHOOOO!! All the graduate students were gathered at 14.00 for rehearsal and photography. The real graduation ceremony started at 17.00. My feet hurt SO MUCH we walked up and down the stairs and with my high heels it wasn't easy. It ended up that me and Louise sat down on the floor when waiting for the walkout (with our big dresses yes, not very glamorous haha). We all were starving as well!! ...

  • Max factor xperience review and a mini excursion with Miss N!

    So I returned to my favourite mascara brand, Max factor! I randomly bought one at HM because I had a 20% coupon and saw that there was a new Max Factor collection out that is called Xperience. This collection is very new so there are very few people that have reviewed the products but since I have always liked Max Factor's mascaras, I bought one anyway ...

  • (Almost) Everything about Mei aka Mei Mei

    ...Usually when I am awake and gets up to make my bed (I sleep with my door closed btw), I often find Mei sitting quietly outside my door waiting for me to come out (so freaking cute). She yawns, stretches and gives me a good morning meow. She sometimes wait outside the bathroom when I'm inside LOL...

  • Let me present my kind of new kitty cat, Taiga :D

    I got a new kitten in May 2011 and his name is Taiga (his former name was Lion King, but I didn't really like it... so I changed it haha). He is a lynx red pointed Birman, and is supposed to have quite rare markings. Oh well, not that I really cared for that when I chose him. I chose him simply because of his sweet sweet personality....

I have been using the Maybelline New York Pure Cover Mineral Concealer for about two years or so and I absolutely love this product. So I was devastated when Maybelline decided to discontinue this product!! Instead, they have launched the SuperStay 24hr concealer which I though would be similar to the mineral one. But I was WRONG :( the formular is too dry for me and becomes easily caky under my eyes! And I need to be careful when applying because otherwise it becomes patchy on my skin.

So I did some research on AFFORDABLE good concealers. I mean, okay I know how people rave over the Bobbi brown concealer and MAC, and I'm sure they are great and so on.....but these are way over my concealer budget.

During my research I came across Soap and Glory's Kick Ass Concealer which has got pretty good reviews. Boots were doing promotions so I bought it and got 30% off. The original price is £10 which I think is sliiiightly expensive, because it's not much product you get... but it is really a great concealer so I guess it makes it more worth for money!




There are three steps: Use the slightly darker salmon shade to neutralise dark blue undertone under your eyes and then the lighter shade to blend it. Finish it off with the set powder on the top. HOWEVER I prefer not to use the set powder because it makes the skin too dry and sometimes caky. But I guess people with really oily skin under the eyes would like applying it on the top. I use the set powder on my eyelids instead as a base, it is really good for a smoother eyeshadow application.


Super-pale-me of course chose the light one and I really like how it comes in to two shades so that you can mix it up depending how tan/pale you are. It is surprisingly really smooth! I usually avoid cake concealers because they tend to feel quite dry on your skin. But I felt a bit adventurous and wanted to give it a try and I am happy I did :D because it blends easily into you skin and it is really creamy. Cake concealers are generally more pigmented than liquid concealers so you don't need much product.

I really like the small mirror btw :)





I haven't used any primer or base, just the concealer on this picture.
