NYC CONCEALER AND ARDELL EYELASH ADHESIVE

Hi everyone,


Today I am sharing two products with you, both of which can be used around or on the eye. The first item is


NYC SMOOTH SKIN LIQUID CONCEALER

 

The thing that first made me laugh is that in the pack was a very small cosmetic sponge which they called a bonus, I would rather they hadn't bothered, mine went straight in the trash. To me this is not a bonus by any standard. However to each there own, I guess!

 

As for the concealers performance it is quite good at covering redness or spots from blemishes. It does a good job priming the eye area prior to adding eyeshadow. I would say it covers any of the unevenness on the eyelid and small veins. It starts out wet and begins to dry somewhat tacky and you need to work quickly with this product. Once dry it feels light and powdery, but in a good way.

 

I am not a fan of the smell, but as it dries it disappears pretty quick.

I would say the coverage is on par with the concealer I have been using for the past three months now which is the "Stay all day 16hr concealer" from Essence. They actually are quite similar, but Essence has a bit more pleasant smell and is a little creamier, but the NYC concealer might just do a hair better at covering imperfections.

 

 This is 786 Light which as you can see is very light

 

You get 7.2ml of product for about $4 CAD

 

I give this a 4 out of 5 only because of the smell and the embarrassing bonus

 

 

 I invested in some eyelash adhesive from ARDELL.

 

 

This is a clear adhesive and it has that typical latex scent to it and it sets in about 30 seconds. I have tested it out and I find it works fine and holds lashes on well for however long you want them on.

 

 

It is a strange feeling that takes some getting use to when you peel lashes off. The only thing I don`t like is I feel a little burning sensation upon application until the adhesive has dried. Who knows maybe I am having a very mild reaction to the latex, but that is odd as I don`t have issues using latex gloves or anything made with latex.

 

 

As long as it does the trick and I don`t have any further reaction I will use it up. I have heard people mention having reaction to Duo adhesive as well, so meh! It`s only a few hours I may have it on my eye so it`s all good.

 

So that's all I have for you today

 

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS WHICH DRUG STORE CONCEALER YOU LOVE AND IF YOU HAVE EVER NOTICED THAT EYELASH ADHESIVE TINGLES OR MILDLY BURNS UPON APPLICATION???
