This green concealer was an absolute bust. Bought it to cover redness but all it did was look like I just applied green paint on top of my red spots. Concealer?? NO.

@SilleeMee - So sorry this didn't work.  Have always wondered how those concealers would work and if you'd look green or one of the other colors.

Re: Beauty Purchases This Week; 8/22/24

Many years ago I got a bad sunburn on my face (one of the few times that happened) and I bought a green "concealer" by Estée Lauder to cover it up.  That product was wonderful and no one at work knew that I had a sunburn.  Sorry that this green concealer didn't work for you @SilleeMee .  Had to be disappointing.

I was thinking about trying another brand of green concealer but I really don't think that will make a difference. I think it's my skin...LOL!

Re: Beauty Purchases This Week; 8/22/24

@JudyL I, too, went to Ulta, but I was not as restrained as you were last week.  However, in my defense, I haven't shopped at Ulta in a few months and haven't needed to post on your thread in a couple of weeks I think, so there's that.  

 

I went for 3 things:

Pureology Hydrate Conditioner - I'm returnig to this.  I'll still use other conditioners too.  I also like Innersense.  I only shampoo once a week, but I use conditioner almost all other times I shoer.

 

Curlsmith Frizz Rescue Finishing Serum - This is a repurchase.  On it's own it dries down too quickly, but when I add an oil or finishing cream to it, I like it much better.I have yet to find the perfect finishing product.  I used to LOVE Jonathan Product Silky Dirt.  

 

Paul Mitchell Fast Drying Sculpting Spray (8.5 fl oz) - a staple for me.  I'm hoping this will be enough until they have another BOGO Jumbo Liter sale which I've read will be in December.  However, they often don't have this available then, even online.  

 

Now, for the other stuff (pics of the colored cosmetics below):

Fenty Trace'd Out Lip Liner in RiRi - I already have the Gloss Bomb in the same color. 

 

NYX Line Loud Lip Pencil -  in Make a Statement

 

NYX Vivid Rich Mechanical Liner - Aquamarine Dream and Quartz Queen

 

NYX Fat Oil Lip Oil - in Chillin Like a Villain

 

NYX Thick It Stick It - Rich Auburn.  Finally found this in-store.  Wanted to see how I liked it compared to Benefit Gimme Brow

 

Dermaplaner 12 pc face shaver/exfoliator - This is new to me.  At the least I wanted to try it between my eye.  I don't have a unibrow, but I do feel like I can feel the hair there, so that's where I'll start.  They weren't very expensive, less than $1 each.  

 

Now to the Clearance Section:

Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Balm - in Jam.  Love me a lip balm. 

 

Revolution Colour Correct Double Ended Colour Correcting Stick - Green on one end and yellow on the other end.  I figured at $2 I'm not out anything to try it.  The consistency is like a cream blush in a tube.

 

Revolution Eyeshadow Palette - Iconic 3.0 - With everybody buying the Naked Palette, this kinda has the same vibes.  I never bought the OG Naked palette, or any Naked palette.  I sorta thought they were too monochromatic.  While this one doesn't have a lot of different colors, there is enough variation in shades to make it interesting to me.   Only $4.

I think I read that you don't wear any foundation, @SilleeMee.  I am not an expert but the green concealer would probably work better with a bit of tinted moisturizer 🤷‍♀️

Re: Beauty Purchases This Week; 8/22/24

I understand @SilleeMee .  I am pale and the red burn really stood out.  Haven't tried "green" in a while and don't know if it would still work.   I now use "redness" cancellation products that are more yellow toned.  That's one reason I don't want to pay sooo much to try something out.
