Coulourpop No Filter Concealer: Review

-

I have been testing out the new(er) Colourpop No Filter Concealer for several months and I feel like now I am able to give my full review of it!

I have been trying limit my makeup purchases to only cruelty-free makeup brands lately so when I ran out of my favorite, the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer, I decided to give this one a try. I have loved almost every Colourpop product I have ever used, so I figured I was going to have good luck with this product, too. Not to mention, it's only $6! Which is probably one of the most affordable concealers on the market. 

 Since Colourpop is only sold online, it was fairly difficult to figure out what shade would be best for me in this product. I ultimately ended up buying Fair Neutral 10, which has a cool undertone. It is as close as I was going to get to my shade since the shade below was too warm and the next shade would have been too dark.



There is a decent 15 shade range for this concealer, however there is definitely still room for improvement, as there is with most cosmetic brands these days.

I only use concealer, not foundation, as my base makeup so I was really only looking for a shade to match my skin tone. I know that a lot of people that wear foundation are looking for a concealer lighter than their actual skin tone to brighten the under eyes. If I was looking to do that, I wouldn't have been able to find the right shade in this concealer.
Fair 5 Fair with warm undertones No Filter Concealer swatches

I have very dry skin, especially around my under eye area, so this can accentuate the dryness if I apply too much or don't blend it properly. 

It would probably be the most ideal for oily skin types since it has a matte finish. This has medium coverage, but is very buildable and can be full coverage. It lasts all day on my face and is definitely one of the most long-wear concealers I have ever tried. 


For the way I use it, I don't swipe the applicator I just dot it under my eyes and anywhere else want to conceal. I found that the applicator holds a lot of product, so if I swipe it onto my face, then it can look too cakey. A little bit goes a very long way when applying it!

I have also found that this concealer is best blended out with a brush, which is a technique I have never done before but decided to try since I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted it to. I normally use my fingers to blend out all of my concealers but this one for some reason was accentuating my dryness too much. The brush that I have found works best is the Wet 'n' Wild Large Concealer Brush,  which I bought at the dollar store (or you can purchase on Amazon). It really transforms the way it looks. 

If you have dry skin like I do, then I suggest making sure to moisturize your face really well before application. This makes it look way better and doesn't accentuate the dry patches as much. I'm sure it will work so much better when my face isn't as dry in the summer, so I will be sure to update in a few months.

I have heard it be compared to the popular Tarte Shape Tape concealer, which I can't personally attest to because I have never tried that one. But from comparison videos I have seen, it seems like they are quite similar formula-wise. The applicator is very different between the two, but I've heard that the new Makeup Revolution concealer (which is $7) is an even closer dupe to the Shape Tape. If you've tried that one, comment below and let me know if its worth trying out!

Overall, I do really enjoy using this concealer and will likely repurchase it in the future. I hope that they do expand the shade range to be even more inclusive and make one with a dewy finish for people with dry skin. For $6, this is a really great product and something I think everyone should try out. 


As I mentioned earlier, I have loved every product I have tried from this brand, so you really can't go wrong with any of it! If you have never tried anything from them before, I would recommend the Super Shock Shadows, Super Shock Highlights, "Yes, Please!" Pressed Powder Shadow Palette, and the Ultra Satin Liquid Lipsticks. I go more in-depth about these products in my 2017 Makeup Favorites post, so read that to find out more. 



Thank you so much for checking out my blog and I hope you come back soon for more! If you have ever tried this concealer before comment down below what you thought of it!

GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo // Album Review

-
Image
GUTS  is the highly anticipated sophomore release from Olivia Rodrigo , following up her massively successful debut album, SOUR , in 2021 . To have the level of success she has had right out the gate with her first-ever single "driver's license" in early 2021 is so rare and she quickly became one of the most notable pop artists to debut this decade so far. There are a lot of songs that I have come to really enjoy on this album, some of which are among my favorites of the entire year so far. When comparing  GUTS *  to  SOUR *,  they are alike in a lot of ways, both sonically and aesthetically. In my opinion,  GUTS  builds upon the foundation she and her producer/co-writer, Dan Nigro, set in place with  SOUR  really well. Olivia is in such an interesting and unique position as an artist right now. The closest, or most recent, comparison I have to it is where Billie Eilish was at with her career a few years ago after her debut album . Both her and Olivia went from being vir

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman * is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman * is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally derived. The

Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt // Newbury Comics Exclusive Rainbow Vinyl

-
Image
Tragic Kingdom is the hit breakthrough album by  No Doubt , released in 1995 to widespread critical acclaim. Blending a mix of pop, punk, rock and ska, it was a groundbreaking album for the music landscape of the mid-90's and instantly became a timeless classic. It was the band's third album together, which differed quite a bit from their first two lesser-known records, partly because of the interpersonal drama within the lives of the members at the time. For the first time, No Doubt's music was mainly written from the perspective of the band's frontwoman  Gwen Stefani . This album was just the start of Gwen becoming the major force in pop music that she was for much of the next decade to follow. This record still is just as relevant now as it was then, I hear the influences of  Tragic Kingdom and Gwen's emblematic attitude try to be replicated by so many modern pop and rock records released today.  This album spawned several massive hits for them, including "S

Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves // Album Review

-
Image
Deeper Well  by Kacey Musgraves sounds like the first blossoming of spring after a long, cold winter. An aspect that shines the most within this music is her talent for sweet and simple songwriting. Every song is very rooted in nature and uses vivid imagery to paint such a stunning, honest and reflective portrait of this current phase of her life. The production is very stripped-back on most of these tracks, with the focus mainly on her vocals and lyricism. This is among her most introspective work yet, chronicling her inner-most thoughts and emotions from where she last left off in 2021 with  star-crossed . She worked on this album primarily in New York City at Electric Lady Studios , which is an environment that played into her wanting to make a softer, more subdued album this time. "There’s the smell of marijuana, pizza, people talking, skateboarders, loud music, everything at 220. And I think you take some of those things to the studio. When the outside environment is so max

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-

For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again
