Disappointing product: Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer

Writing about products that didn't work for me is not something I tend to do but in this case I was so disappointed I felt the need to.

When it comes to drugstore concealers, I swear by Collection's Lasting Perfection. It is the perfect match for my skin and they get along very well. I recently ran out of it and since I couldn't find my shade (01 Fair) anywhere I had to try something new. I have heard countless people rave about the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer but I must admit, I find it absolutely disappointing.

Since I am quite pale I have gone for the lightest shade (Ivory) but I find the undertone a bit too orange for me. Even though I am not into cakey, heavy coverage, this concealer is lighter than what I normally like. Under the eyes I would usually blend the product with my fingertips but for me the Wake Me Up creases if I don't use a brush. My skin is quite dry apart from in the T-zone and this concealer has gone patchy even if I used a primer underneath it.

It might be just me and it might work perfectly with another skin type and tone but all in all, I am very unhappy with the results and I wouldn't purchase this product again.

Let me know how you got on with it if you tried it before and what your holy grail concealers are!

January Favourites

The first post of the new month can only mean one thing: MONTHLY FAVOURITES TIME! Let's see a list (in no particular order) of bits and bobs I've been loving in January.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow - in Creamy Beige
Loving these cream eyeshadow is definitely nothing new or surprising, everyone loves a bit of On and On Bronze. However, this month I've been all about Creamy Beige. Most of the time I've been wearing it on its own, blended out with my Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush and winged eyeliner. I really like how it isn't a shimmery shade, it gives a leathery look just as it states on the lid.

Rimmel Brow This Way Gel 
I don't need to say too much, just a nice product to set those nicely filled brows when you need it.

Makeup Academy Matte Lipstick - in Fawn Fancy
Such a nice,wearable matte nude from the high street that doesn't make me look washed out or dead. It's ridiculously cheap and although it doesn't last for ages, you have to touch it up quite often I like this lipstick A LOT.

8tracks playlists
If you've never heard of 8tracks before, you seriously need to download it! Whenever I can't fall asleep I just put a nice playlist on and it helps me. This has been one of my favourites in the past few weeks. You can find great songs you've never heard before or just listen to something new when you're fed up of your usual music.

The Bloglovin' app
Ever since I downloaded this app and started following all these super cool blogs I've been hooked on it. I love how it sends you notifications if anyone on your following list posts something, it's great to keep yourself updated.

Primark bedding
I think the picture speaks for itself, it's such a pretty bedding and an absolute bargain for £9, well done Primark!

Making lists
I'm quite an organised person and this month I've returned to my old habit: list making. With my new blog being up and running I finally started using this amazing notebook my lovely friend Leonie made me to keep post ideas, etc. in it.

That's it for my January favourites, hope you enjoyed this post! :)
