I strongly rely on my concealers when it comes to makeup cause I've been a night owl for as long as I could remember. So when a concealer promises to not only help cover my dark circles but it's also superfood-infused I can't contain my excitement! 

First Aid Beauty $22 (0.17 oz) sent me all 7 of their new flexible, skin-nourishing concealers. It's meant to act as a second skin, providing weightless full coverage finish without cracking, creasing or caking. The seven shades are formulated specifically for the delicate eye area and, it can also be used to touch-up throughout the day. The concealer is packed with nourishing, clean ingredients including avocado oil, vitamin E, and mushroom extracts to help hydrate, condition and soothe, plus caffeine to help diminish under-eye puffiness and dark circles. 

The Bendy Concealers are packaged in a thick tube with a doe foot applicator. The smooth, creamy formula is exactly what I needed cause I always struggle with concealers settling into my fine lines. This is very hydrating as the brand claimed and it does have that skin-like finish. It gives me the coverage I need to look awake and fresh. The coverage is light to medium and, it does a great job covering dark circles and veins. I also love the dewy finish I like to set the concealer with my current favorite Hourglass Veil Powder but, there are times I skip setting it and I had no issues of caking. However, it did fade slightly throughout the day. I only use a few dots and, I use my ring finger to blend out the product the smooth consistency helps to blend out the concealer seamlessly. The only issue would be the shade range it's very limited but, I hope they'll expand the shade range in the future. I use the shade 4 Medium- which is a pretty good shade for my medium tan skin complexion.

First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Kona Eye Stick $24 (0.13 oz) a three-in-one cooling and soothing eye treatment that instantly hydrates, de-puffs and it also works as a primer. I was really curious to try this product since I deal with puffiness along with dark circles. It has a smooth consistency and a subtle iridescent shimmer it didn't irritate my eyes or the skin. But, I didn't notice any depuffing or cooling. The Kona Eye Stick is very nourishing, and since it does a great job hydrating the skin it will be a great product for those with dry under eye area. 

Key Ingredients:

-Kona Coffee: Helps diminish the appearance of under-eye puffiness and dark circles.  
-Sodium Hyaluronate: A powerful humectant that boosts skin's moisture content, helps skin appear smoother, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  
-Peptides: Chain of amino acids that help smooth skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 
-Micro-Pearls: Finely-milled minerals with light reflecting properties that amplify skin's natural radiance for a beautifully luminous effect.

Final Verdict:

The first photo was taken with flash and the second was taken without flash so, I hope this will help you with the shade selection. I have been using this concealer pretty often, mostly on days when I need to look put together and I have to rush out the door. I feel like it helps me achieve a natural, no makeup look especially when I use the shade- 5 Tan. Tan runs a bit peachy on me so, it also works as a corrector/concealer. I love the skin-loving ingredients, lightweight, dewy finish formula so, I would highly recommend the FAB Avocado Concealers. As for the Kona Eye Stick, I can't say it did anything extraordinary other than hydrating the skin.

Did you try the new FAB Bend concealer? If so, how'd you like it?

Hello! I recently went on a blazer spree, and I ended up buying quite a few pieces probably more than I needed to. Today I'm going to share how I styled this very budget-friendly blazer two ways. I kept the blazer and bag as the main focus for the first outfit. I styled it with a nude midi dress from Zara and my new Nanushka Minee Croc-Effect Belt bag.

For the second outfit I had to attend an event so, I kept it casual and wore a black tee and high waisted jeans. I'm a jeans and tee kinda girl so, this is how I normally wear my blazers on most days. I sized down for the blazer if you're petite I would suggest doing that as well, or you can size up for an oversized boyfriend blazer look. The quality is excellent for the price, and it's also very on trend.

Happy Monday!! So excited to begin October and work on my fall/winter capsule. I recenly had the pleasure of visiting Etienne Aigner office for a sneak peak of their upcoming Spring 2019 collection. I loved the handbags which will be available on january 2019, I'm including photos of a few pieces that have caught my eyes. 

Etienne Aigner also gifted me a beautiful sock booties- in cordovan calf suede. The chunky heels makes this booties super comfortable for day to day wear. The athleisure inspired style features a navy patterened strech gore panel with racing stripe at the ankle. 

I paired the booties with a navy blue knitted maxi dress which I purchased last year from H&M. I really like the flute sleeves and the backless detail on this dress. It's the perfect dress for a fall date night!
