Hey Boooooothang's! Long time no see. I'm not even gonna try and explain myself about my lack of blog posts this year - we'll leave that for another day!

So it's the festive season - chrissy party here and there and I thought I'd share my MY look to my works Christmas party on here. I saw this dress on PLT and I was instantly obsessed and I thought 'LOOK LIKE I'M GOING 4 A SWIMMM' - inspired by Chun Li, ygm?

Sooooo...Yes I finally did it!

Back at it again with another bargain post. Think this is one of my favourite hobbies y'know...finding products that will snatch your face but won't break the bank. 
Today's post is about the brand BEAUTY GLAZED, which I have seen here and there on Instagram and youtube. I believe they are a brand who dupe higher end brand palettes such has Huda Beauty, Morphe etc.
I was hauling on aliexpress which sell my favourite lashes ever and I stumbled across the brand, I read the reviews which were mixed and decided to buy the cheapest palette on the site. Causeeee £3.28? hmmm, I can live with that - if the palette were to come all mashed up...no biggie. £3 is not even a sub nowadays.


THE GOOD
The palette itself is really cheap and a good value for money, you get 5 matte shadows and 5 pressed glitters which would make a ton on eye combinations, from soft glams to more dramatic glitter cut-creases.  For £3 quid, you can't go wrong. The matte shadows are really easy to work with and blend beautifully I could literally compare them to my morphe shadows. 


THE BAD 
A downfall is that delivery takes 3/4 weeks as the products come from China; which may also be a problem. The ingredient list may not be genuine due to cosmetics laws and regulations in China. I have used the shadows and I haven't experienced any sort of allergic reaction as I tend to be quiet sentitive around the eye area.  So use the shadows at your own risk!


OVERALL
These eyeshadows are amazing!!!! & i will rate them a 4/5 just because of how long delivery takes. They have great matte shadows that work great as transition colours, the glitters are great too with hardly any fall out. 



Have you heard of Beauty Glazed before? 
Hope xox

Can we just talk about how Makeup Revolution is killing the game right now? They have absolutely outdone themselves with the Conceal and Define concealer which caters to a variety of skin tones. For a drugstore brand, they are doing amazing sweetie, something that high end and luxury brands are still struggling out here in big 2018, yaaa knaw what I meannn. *cough cough* tarte slash it cosmetics. No comment.




Soooo, the MUR Conceal and Define Concealer comes in 18 different shades with seven more shades being added in March (yasssss), catering from fair to deep skin tones and have even taken a careful consideration to undertones. The concealer claims to be lightweight while still offering a high coverage matte finish that will not sink into fine lines or pores.

The shades I wanted kept going in and out of stock online plus none of my local Superdrugs stocked the darker shades so I got them of TamBeauty for £4.  I got an extra 10% off the order, so I basically paid £3.60 each. Gurrrrrrrl u can't tell me that ain't a steal. I ended buying 5 & got the following shades:

C12 - a neutral undertone
C13 – a warm undertone
C14 – cool undertone
C16 – warm undertone
C18 – warm undertone

C12 is my 'I wanna snatch my undereye' concealer, C13 will be 'basic but baddie' shade. C14 & C16 are my foundation shades which I will use for the days I don't want to wear foundation and lastly, C18 is my contour shade. MUR have done a really good job, the fact that I can contour with a drugstore concealer is crazyyyy!



The packing is really cute, rose gold plastic tube (will deffo be making appearances on my future flat lays, yup). It has a chunky doe foot applicator which is perfect for swiping product straight on your face, making application a lot easier. However, the downside to this is that you get less product as the wand is really chunky (only 3.4ml) but at the end of the day; you are only paying £4!

I was more than shook when I first applied it on. The wand makes it glide on so easy and we are talking 'good morning high coverage'. The finish was so radiant after blending out with my beauty blender and that was even before baking.

The formula has a perfect consistency, creamy but easy enough to manipulate and work with, cause there's nothing more annoying than concealer that dries up and doesn't blend out, Nah. It definitely does what it says it's meant to do, ' conceal' and 'defines' leaving a seamless base.

Concerning wear, for me, it works as good as some of my favourite concealers which are pricier. I do get some creasing after a full day but that's something I find inevitable!


Now! Is it the dupe to Tarte's Shape Tate? I don't know...I can't really make a comparison because I don't own the concealer myself and I never will - even if tarte do bring 30 dark shades. Nope. It's mindblowing how a brand worth millions and millions cannot invest into catering for deeper skin tones. I.AM.NOT.HERE.FOR.IT

This concealer has become one of my favourites and its right at the top with my LA Girl Pro Concealer and Urban Decay Naked. Since I got this concealer I've hardly reached for my other favourites and I just feel like you can't really go wrong with it. For £4 it's an absolute steal. It's got the coverage, the longevity and it looks amazing!  I really hope MUR decide to extend the line and come out with a foundation version!




Have you tried it? What are your thoughts?
