Review: NVEY eco Organic Erase

Hey girls! Good morning to everyone on the East Coast and Central Time people. I will be reviewing a products by NVEY eco which is a brand of organic and eco friendly makeup products and tools. I will review the staple product in every girls’ makeup collection which is their Organic Erase (concealer). It retails for $30 for .11 oz. The shade I have is in Deep Beige, but they have 2 other shades which are neutral and medium. Again, the link to purchase it will be in the side bar. Keep reading to know why I like this product a lot!

Pro(s):
-When I apply it, it goes on smoothly and doesn’t need a lot of blending because it looks like my real skin.
-Very creamy, pigmented, and not cakey.
-Lasts for about 3-4 hours.

Con(s):
-A bit on the pricey side.
-Creases when applied under the eye.

Overall review: This concealer would be good for anyone eco friendly who doesn’t have major dark circles under their eye. Although it claims to cover all flaws, I found it hard to use this product under my eyes because it creased a lot even with proper priming and moisturizing. Maybe it’s because I have lines under my eyes. It’s very creamy so you can also apply it with your finger. I couldn’t get a swatch because you can barely see it on my skin. I liked it for dark blemishes from pimples, but for dark circles this product was a no-no. It has some brightening properties based on what I experienced because my mouth looked brighter when I applied it around my mouth.

Rating: 8/10

Is it recommended by Vicky? : If you’re willing to give up $30, I suggest you go give this product a try!

Review: Sedonalace 10 Pan Concealer Palette

Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Sedonalace 10 Pan Concealer Palette. They retail for $15.95 and when compared to the Coastal Scents one it a dollar cheaper which is really good especially in this economy. For now it’s only available on http://sedonalace.com and the link will be in my links section in the right side of my blog. They come with 10 different shades of concealer and the pans are about an inch in diameter. Keep reading to see my review n this product!

Pro(s):
-Very creamy and long lasting concealers (5 hour wear).
-Really good for heavy duty concealing without breaking the bank or clogging pores.
-Compact size and easy to travel with and using on clients.
-Must have for makeup artists or freelancers.

Con(s):
-None found while testing out this product.

Overall review: Generally, these concealers have a great staying power and creaminess. They work well with people of all skin types since I have dry/sensitive skin and it hasn’t irritated me. This product is my clients’ must have and favorite product because whenever I use it on them, they love it and some of them have already purchased it that’s how much they like it. No particular smell. It has matte black packaging with no writing on it which I actually like, because label it and that’s what keep everything organized. Thanks to Annemarie for requesting the review and I hope all of you enjoy it!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Josie Maran Products

Hi girls, I received my amazing goodies. I am very excited about reviewing them. I’ve already tried them out and I’d have to say that I really like them so far. I know a few of you messaged me about asking me what I would suggest for eco-friendly people. Well, let me tell you a bit about these products. The packaging is metal, but a recyclable kind. They don’t test on animals and these products are paraben free. Everything is organic and cruelty free with no toxins or fragrance. After reading all of this, the product also lives up to its name. Everything is what you would want it to be for its kind. My review on these products will be coming up this Saturday/Sunday since I’ve had these products for about a week and I’ve used them every day. Thanks girls, enjoy!

Review: Mally Beauty Cancellation Concealer System

Hi girls, today I’m reviewing the Mally Beauty Cancellation Concealer System. This kit contains a cream concealer in a pot, a setting powder in a pot, and a double ended brush; one side for concealing and one fluffy side for setting the concealer with the pressed powder. It retails for $35 from mallybeauty.com, QVC, boutiques, and QVC.com. It’s actually one of their best sellers and keep reading to see why.

Pros:
-It moisturizes my under eye area.
-It stays on for the whole day without fading.
-It concealed very well without caking.
-It provided maximum coverage and hides all those imperfections you probably have.
-It doesn’t smell bad; it’s a lot like a perfumed kind of smell.
-They come in refills.
-The setting powder is a good addition to the kit.

Con(s):
-No cons!

Overall review: I really like the consistency of the concealer. It’s not drying whatsoever unlike the other high end brand concealer out there. It’s a must have for anyone who need maximum coverage, I actually use this stuff under my eyes and it covers pretty well and stays on for the entire day without fading. It covers blemishes seamlessly and doesn’t cake. I would say that this is the first concealer I have come across that actually covers up my dark under eye circles. Well, I hope you enjoy this review!

Would I purchase it again? : Yes, if I ever finish this one.

Rating: 10/10

Packaging: 10/10 it comes in a nice little kit!

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes; it’s best for maximum coverage.

Review: E.L.F Corrective Concealer Palette

Hi girls, I’m on a roll today with all the posts I’ve put up. Well, two months ago I purchased this corrective concealer palette from E.L.F.com and I wanted to share my opinion with you on it. Sorry for the weird picture above, I still have to figure out how to make the lighting better. This palette was $3 but I had a coupon code then so it only cost me $1.50. There is a green shade to cancel redness, 2 nude shades to conceal dark circles, and a lilac shade to make a yellow complexion look less dull. Keep reading to know more.
Pros: The 2 nude colors definitely highlight under your eye and brighten. The lilac shade gives some of my clients a nice dewy finish and the green concealer makes a pimple look less red. It works on many of my friends.

Cons: Crappy brush, unsanitary way of using it. You need a big concealer brush to use it properly. The two nude colors don’t exactly cancel super dark circles.

Overall Review: This palette is okay. Its best for using under your makeup. The nude shades are best to use under your eyes before you put on your normal concealer as a base and to moisturize you’re under eye area. It works differently for other people because I’ve seen it working better on fairer skin. Overall I do like it, but the consistency is very thin.
