Coulourpop No Filter Concealer: Review

-

I have been testing out the new(er) Colourpop No Filter Concealer for several months and I feel like now I am able to give my full review of it!

I have been trying limit my makeup purchases to only cruelty-free makeup brands lately so when I ran out of my favorite, the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer, I decided to give this one a try. I have loved almost every Colourpop product I have ever used, so I figured I was going to have good luck with this product, too. Not to mention, it's only $6! Which is probably one of the most affordable concealers on the market. 

 Since Colourpop is only sold online, it was fairly difficult to figure out what shade would be best for me in this product. I ultimately ended up buying Fair Neutral 10, which has a cool undertone. It is as close as I was going to get to my shade since the shade below was too warm and the next shade would have been too dark.



There is a decent 15 shade range for this concealer, however there is definitely still room for improvement, as there is with most cosmetic brands these days.

I only use concealer, not foundation, as my base makeup so I was really only looking for a shade to match my skin tone. I know that a lot of people that wear foundation are looking for a concealer lighter than their actual skin tone to brighten the under eyes. If I was looking to do that, I wouldn't have been able to find the right shade in this concealer.

I have very dry skin, especially around my under eye area, so this can accentuate the dryness if I apply too much or don't blend it properly. 

It would probably be the most ideal for oily skin types since it has a matte finish. This has medium coverage, but is very buildable and can be full coverage. It lasts all day on my face and is definitely one of the most long-wear concealers I have ever tried. 


For the way I use it, I don't swipe the applicator I just dot it under my eyes and anywhere else want to conceal. I found that the applicator holds a lot of product, so if I swipe it onto my face, then it can look too cakey. A little bit goes a very long way when applying it!

I have also found that this concealer is best blended out with a brush, which is a technique I have never done before but decided to try since I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted it to. I normally use my fingers to blend out all of my concealers but this one for some reason was accentuating my dryness too much. The brush that I have found works best is the Wet 'n' Wild Large Concealer Brush,  which I bought at the dollar store (or you can purchase on Amazon). It really transforms the way it looks. 

If you have dry skin like I do, then I suggest making sure to moisturize your face really well before application. This makes it look way better and doesn't accentuate the dry patches as much. I'm sure it will work so much better when my face isn't as dry in the summer, so I will be sure to update in a few months.

I have heard it be compared to the popular Tarte Shape Tape concealer, which I can't personally attest to because I have never tried that one. But from comparison videos I have seen, it seems like they are quite similar formula-wise. The applicator is very different between the two, but I've heard that the new Makeup Revolution concealer (which is $7) is an even closer dupe to the Shape Tape. If you've tried that one, comment below and let me know if its worth trying out!

Overall, I do really enjoy using this concealer and will likely repurchase it in the future. I hope that they do expand the shade range to be even more inclusive and make one with a dewy finish for people with dry skin. For $6, this is a really great product and something I think everyone should try out. 


As I mentioned earlier, I have loved every product I have tried from this brand, so you really can't go wrong with any of it! If you have never tried anything from them before, I would recommend the Super Shock Shadows, Super Shock Highlights, "Yes, Please!" Pressed Powder Shadow Palette, and the Ultra Satin Liquid Lipsticks. I go more in-depth about these products in my 2017 Makeup Favorites post, so read that to find out more. 



Thank you so much for checking out my blog and I hope you come back soon for more! If you have ever tried this concealer before comment down below what you thought of it!

ARIANA GRANDE GOD IS A WOMAN FRAGRANCE REVIEW

-
Image
When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again...

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT (isolated vocals) by Billie Eilish // 2024 Record Store Day Exclusive Vinyl

-
Image
Happy Record Store Day! One of my most anticipated releases for the Black Friday drop this year was a special version of Billie Eilish 's incredible album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT , which features only her isolated vocals. You can only slightly hear parts of the instrumentals in the background because she recorded the songs without headphones, but this variant of the album puts a major emphasis on only her gorgeous vocals. It's a really cool concept, it almost sounds like you're in the studio with her hearing it recorded live.  There is so much depth to her vocal comps with all of the hidden vocals and ad libs that are hidden underneath the production. There are so many small details that otherwise get buried in each song that now get the chance to fully shine. Billie and Finneas ' creative process is so fascinating, and this record give a glimpse into the way all of these songs came together. An album like HIT ME HARD AND SOFT  is meticulously produced and every layer is s...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...

BILLIE EILISH HAPPIER THAN EVER // ALBUM REVIEW

-
Image
Billie Eilish's sophomore release is finally here and I'm happier than ever about it! In some ways, the album is quite a departure from her debut, but in the best way possible. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  set the stage for what this decade in music is going to be because it was truly unlike any other modern release in recent memory, one whose success and impact will likely never be fully replicated again. She has never tried to be anyone other than herself, which makes her journey of monumental success at such a young age so much more inspiring.  With that being said, the idea of a follow-up release must have come with a lot of pressure to make something just as good, if not better, than the last one. Happier Than Ever is a chronicle of the events that followed her meteoric rise to fame since 2019, from her perspective. There has always been so much talk in the media about the way she dresses, her body, her relationships, whether or not she "deserves" a...
