Aren’t Birthdays Fun?!

Hey Guys!

A piece of advice I received when I started making YouTube videos was to make content that “I would want to watch”. I was told to make the kinds of videos that I like to watch. With all that said, sharing what I got for my birthday seems a little weird, but at the same time, I think it’s fun..and personally, I like to see what others got for their birthday. It’s sorta like when you’re little and everyone has to watch you open your presents…but as we get older, people don’t watch us anymore.

Anyway, I’ll quit my rambling. Here’s my latest beauty video showing some of the latest beauty and style items I received as gifts. :) Bear makes a cute appearance in the beginning of the video!

Hope you’re all having a great Monday!

Love,

Lauren

 

 

Drugstore Concealer: Physicians Formula Concealer Twin

Hey Guys!

It may seem like I’ve been talking a lot about drugstore make up lately, but…it’s true, I have found a lot of great products at the drug store!

I always use concealer. Even if I don’t wear a lot of foundation, a little concealer can go a long way. For the most part, I have always used MAC studio finish or moisture cover concealer. They usually do the trick. I also love Bobbi Brown’s correctors and concealers! But- it’s really nice when you can find something really inexpensive that does the trick. 

I recently went to help my mom pick out some new make up. We ended up getting the Physicians Forumula Concealer Twin in Yellow/light. It has two ends which help correct and camouflage different areas.

When we got home , I tried a little on myself and quickly realized I loved the texture, consistancy and coverage of this concealer. It’s more drying than most , but goes on smoothly. It also dries down matte, which I personally like when trying to conceal areas. 

I’ve found too many times that concealers for me just glide off my skin, or are too creamy. I would not recommend this for dry, mature skin types. I would recommend it more for those who get oily, or have combination skin.  At my local Target this was close to $7. 

The pinker side is perfect for concealing small blemishes and to brighten under the eyes. The yellow side I use in very small amounts to conceal any areas that appear a little more pink like around the nose, and cheeks.

I hope this review was helpful!!  Have you tried this Physicians Formula Concealer Twin??

Love, Lauren
