Revlon lash potion mascara REVIEW

Hello dear ladies :)
I'm very skeptical about mascaras because I have a total lack of them, but then I saw this one which claims to contain amino acids and proteins for your lashes so, why don't give it a try?

Revlon lash potion mascara

Why you'd love it:
1. In my opinion, the formula it's not too dry and not too liquid, which is amazing for me due to dry mascaras are to way heavy for my tiny lashes and too liquid formulas make a mess in my eyes. So this one has got the perfect formula to work with.

2. It doesn't make my lashes look clumped when I apply 2 or 3 layers of it, and it doesn't look messy either.

3. The brush is AWESOME! now I know why the packaging says "illusionist wand"; the brush separate my lashes one by one and avoid from clumping them together.

4. Although it's not water proof, it last all day, I though It was going to flake trough the day but it didn't. It's semi water resistant, if you cry it may run out just a bit, but if you cry a river you'll look like a raccoon, so don't use it on your way out to the beach...or bipolar mood, you know, girls things.

5. Good for oily lids? yes, like a 84% good for oily lids, otherwise buy the waterproof presentation; I didn't buy it because my lashes are to weak to support heavy formulas.

6. It's worth the price, $9 for 10ml that's quite reasonable and very good quality for a drugstore makeup.

7. It doesn't smudge and it doesn't flake...oh I already said that, but, it's true:)

8. I'd say that this mascara gives you 88% lenght and 12% volume. Obviously those are my subjective and sincere opinions.
9. It's good for bottom lashes.

Here is the MAGIC WAAAND!!

Here you can see my lack of lashes and how "normal" they look with this mascara; if you're of those girls with natural long lashes or volume lashes then this mascara will do wonders for ya!

Mascara without eyeliner on.

Blimey, I wish I had those eyelashes! that's how I'd look if I had normal lashes...*sigh*



Why you'll hate this (the mascara not the pretty camel):
There's nothing till now that I hate about this mascara, maybe the fact that it runs with too much tears but that's obvious, in that case the waterproof one is better, but by now I'm only using light mascaras which won't break my fragile lashes. I reckon that you might give it a try!

Would I buy it again? Probably YES!

Physicians formula super BB concealer review.

Good morning ladies!!
I feel guilty about buying a new concealer when I already had one in good conditions...well, if you're a makeup addict-lover-obsessed like me, then you'd understand me though. I just saw this concealer and I knew I had to have it, this is such a good brand and total cruelty free; I chose the shade light/medium.

The first time I used it, this is how the brush fills up with product:

After using if for a week (making 3 clicks a day) the product begins
 to accumulate inside the container, just like the almay wakeup concealer did.

Super BB concealer Ingredients list.
The loving things about this BB concealer:
1. The amount of product is enough for me and the price it's ok, not to expensive not to cheap, you're giving about $12 for 4g of product. Believe me, 4g it's a lot...I have the revlon photoready concealer which has 3.2g and I've been using it for about half a year and it's still full, I don't imagine how long this BB concealer would last me.

2. It's not only a concealer for the under-eye area, due to it has spf30, it can be used as a color-cream sunblock (like the BB cream) for your face or to hide minimal imperfections, like freckles or small acne scars. If you're going to the beach or having a sun bath then use this concealer along a sunscreen with SPF15 or 30 to avoid mayor sunburns, specially if you're pale-light skin.

3. It's very creamy and blendable, the texture is between liquid and creamy and it's not oily at all.

4. It's waterproof...really! I apply some in my forearm to show you guys the colour of the shade (you'll see the pictures below) and I forgot to take it off, at the end of the day, it didn't came off with water! neither soap, I had to remove it with...well yes, makeup remover lol, but finally it came off easily, so if you're going to the beach (or you love being a mermaid) this is a perfect makeup for you, it has the right amount of  SPFand it doesn't run away with salty water!

5. I like the tube :) it's cute

6. The coverage: it's good enough to hide mild/moderate undereye circles and acne scars or any discolourations on your skin; It's very very pigmented and you can build up the colour without looking cakey-face or like an umpa lumpa.

What I HATE:
1. the shade...it only comes in two shades: light/medium and medium/deep, so poor variety.
 I think I'm a light shade, not to white but still not tanned skin, and I chose the shade light/medium; I thought It was going to look very dark on my skin, but for my surprise it did match my skin tone!
If you're a bit darker than me, this concealer might work as a highlighter tool for your under eye area. If you're even lighter than me, avoid this concealer! there are more brands with more shades.

2. The smell...it smells weird, like corn or something related with food, I guess is the sunscreen.

3. The same problem with the almay wakeup concealer...product gets stuck in the tube once you click to pump the concealer, the product gets stuck below the applicator.
The brush is kind of useless thing, it's always better to blend with your fingers or an elf concealer brush, or whatever brush you like.

SWATCHES!!

Would I buy it again? ONLY IF...there would be a lighter shade, because I do love the formula and the packaging! Leave comments pleaseeeeee
