Favourite Drugstore Concealers

Hey everyone.

I am always being asked about budget friendly concealers. There are so many good ones out there at the moment and really affordable. Here are my three favourites that I reach for the most. 


The first one is my favourite for blemishes or very dark circles - Collection Lasting Concealer. I have this in 3 shades and can't recommend it enough. It is a full coverage concealer that doesn't budge. I use a very small amount under my eyes. Be careful with this if you have a lot of lines as it could cake. Excellent for teenagers or anyone conscious of scarring or blemishes.
Price-€5.99

The second one, is Rimmel Wake Me Up. This is a lovely medium coverage concealer. Great for the under eye area and really hydrating. I love this for top ups as it isn't very drying.
Price - €6.99

And the last one is a new purchase which I love 💕 Maybelline The Eraser Eye. This is the most expensive at around €11.50 but is just the loveliest consistency. I place this under my eyes, in the centre of my forehead and down the centre of my nose. It's brilliant for anyone conscious of wrinkles as it is very moisturising and really highlights the centre of the face without drawing attention to any fine lines or wrinkles. 
This is on offer for 2 for €15 in Boots.

Some blahhh products

Hey girls,
I just wanted to share with you a few bits that I've been trying out and have found them to be just crap and so not worth buying.

The first one is Maybelline Rocket Mascara
This does give you big black lashes but it flakes and makes your lashes so hard. I found I lost so many lashes the few weeks I was trying it out.  I think I paid around €12 each for them. I bought the regular and the waterproof mascara and both gave the same problems. They both went to the bin.

Maybelline Fit Me concealer
Now this product was just no good for me personally -as I'm an old hag with big bags that you could sleep in. This is a lovely light brightening concealer but no good whatsoever for covering bags or spots.
This would be good for young girls that just what to brighten up their undereye area. I'm using it at the moment as a highlight over my normal concealer just to  use it up, but will never repurchase.

And finally Rimmel Scandaleyes Precision Eyeliner...
This was by far the biggest let down . I love Rimmel but this was just useless. I've used it for 2 weeks and it's already drying up. The pen itself is almost like an ink pen, hard to hold and not very easy to get a definite line. I find it is way too small and the quality of the product itself is very poor. You have to keep going over to get a really black line and after a few hours it fades to almost nothing, especially if you have a flick. Save the bucks for something else girls..this is a major fail. 
Hope this helps..xx

Review - Maybelline Cream Liner

Howdy... I have meant to do a review on this pot of lovliness for a while. It's one of the newest addition to my steadily growing collection of gel liners.


I absolutely love this eyeliner. I have been using it for about three months. I have it in Blackest Black, and Brown. You also get a free brush for applying it but it kinda sucks as an eyeliner brush. I use the brush with the brown shade for me lovely non-existent eyebrows. The texture is creamy & dries fast, to me this goes on like a dream and best of all its long lasting. I've also tried this on my water line and I get a good 2 or 3 hours out of it..
When I bought it it was on offer for 11 euros in Boots...It's definitely worth the money and for someone that isn't that confident with putting on eyeliner I find this one is smooth and one of the easier liners to work with....xx
