No7 Stay Perfect Blemish Cover

I bought the No7 Stay Perfect Blemish cover with a No7 voucher I got two weeks ago. Don't you feel you just need to spend those vouchers the minute you get one? I usually pick up a new nail polish but I decided to go for something different this time.





Good News-
Inexpensive- €8.20
Creates even coverage without being cakey
Comes in four gorgeous shades


Bad News-
Has a slightly oily consistency, which meant it did not last as long on my skin as other concealers I have tried
I am not a huge fan of the white packaging

Overall I was happy with this concealer. It didn't cost me too much and it did the job. But I still think I will go back to my old faithful Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer as I feel it gives better coverage.


Has anyone else tried this product?

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo

I have heard so many great things about this product so I was extra excited when I received a free sample of it at the pharmacy last week.



La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo is a Moisturiser which can be used daily. It combines 4 active ingredients (Niacinamide, Piroone Olamine, LHA/Linoleic Acid) which help prevent breakouts and blemishes on the skin.

What La Roche- Posay say about it- 'Pores are unclogged and purified to help reduce the development of future breakouts. Helps to reduce skin imperfections leaving skin looking clearer and feeling smoother.

Good News-
Prevents breakouts- I found my skin was much clearer after a few days using this product
Does not dry out your skin
Unclogs pores
Nice consistency- not too heavy on your skin
Lightly scented

Bad News-
Slightly pricey at €16 for 40ml

I would recommend this product to anyone who deals with weekly breakouts. It definitely cleared up my skin and I think my pores appear smaller after a week of using this product.

Has anyone else tried out this product?

Catrice Prime And Fine Highlighting Powder

I decided to purchase a new highlighting powder this month. My friend read a great review about the Catrice powder on Sosueme so I decided to give it a try!





Good News-
Value for money, Price €4.99
Nice packaging- sleek with engraved writing
The consistency of the product is soft and glides on your skin
Gorgeous colour- pink undertone

Bad News-
Not highly pigmented, I found using my fingers rather then a brush created more colour
It doesn't have a mirror inside, which is a bit disappointing





Overall I was very happy with the product, it was easy to use and created a nice subtle brightness to my skin. If you are looking for a subtle highlight, this is the powder for you.

Soak Off Polish- EzFlow TruGel

Has anyone else tried out TruGel? I heard about it on a few blogs and decided to give it a try!


Trugel is a new soak off polish product from EzFlow.

What EzFlow say about it:
Build your clientele with innovative TruGelTM
* Strengthens nails with mega-shine & long-lasting color
* Safe for natural nails
* Protective gel formula leaves nails healthier & stronger
* Brushes on like polish for easier application
* Formulated to cure under both LED & UV lights
* Soaks off easily in 10 minutes - no drilling or filing needed
 
They have  72 shades  fabulous colours!

I decided to choose just one colour and see how I got on with it. I went for a gorgeous colour called 'Tiffany'. It is an exact match for the Tiffnay & Co colour. I used Konad Plate m71 to create the bow design.




I applied my TruGel polish and wore the polish for 10 days and it still looked perfect on the 10th day. I decided to remove it as I wanted to try another colour. The removal process was great, removed without effort in 10 minutes.

I would definitely recommend TruGel to anyone.  The flat brush makes application easy and it removes like a dream. I have already ordered two new colours, cannot wait for them to arrive!
