Review: Sheer Cover Duo Concealer

I recently received a new concealer in the Influenster Spring Beauty VoxBox and the moment I tried it I fell in love. It is the Sheer Cover Duo Concealer in light/medium

As someone who is always on the search for the prefect concealer this was an amazing treat to receive. I started to use it immediately and the first thing that sold me was the creamy texture of it. Because of the creamy consistency and great pigmentation you need the littlest amount to cover even the darkest of under eye circles (which I definitely have).

As for staying power I do need to set it with a powder to ensure it stays in place all day. I also attribute this to the creamy consistency of it. Another quality of this concealer that I love is the fact that you get two different shades so it is easy to mix them together to get the perfect shade for your skin tone.

I love being able to use the light shade under my eye to brighten the area and use the dark shade to cover any blemishes and redness on my face. I also love that it is super moisturizing due to the Jojoba in it and it is great for sensitive skin.

This really is the perfect concealer (for me at least) since it applies to smoothly, provides great, build-able coverage, is nourishing to the skin and is super light weight.The cost is $29.95 for an introductory system or for the concealer alone.

May Beauty Favorites 2012

My makeup this month has been super minimal. Being in New Jersey the humidity has been out of control, especially at work, so I have been wearing makeup that can stay on all day.

• Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation/Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer- I have been mixing the two of these since the tinted moisturizer doesn't give me the coverage I want and the foundation gives me too much coverage for the summer. Mixing equal parts together has been really good for my skin and I don't need a blush when I do this since my cheeks are naturally so flush.
• Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume- I love this mascara. It stays on all day and won't smudge all over my face. It gives amazing volume to my already long lashes. 
• Tarte Lip Surgence in Enchanted- This is one of the greatest lip products ever. I feel like I can put it on at work and not have to worry for a while. Since I am becoming more tan I feel like my lips are blending in with my face more so I like having the pop of color on my lips without having to fuss about it too much. 
• Sheer Cover concealer- Best concealer I have tried in a while. I got it sent to me in the Influenster Spring Beauty VoxBox and I am so happy I did. I really like that it has two tones so you can mix your perfect shade. I mostly have been using the lighter one to brighten up my under eye area.
• Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows in Skinny Jeans & R.S.V.P.- I am obsessed with these. I will wear R.S.V.P. all over the lid by itself or put Skinny Jeans in the outer corner with R.S.V.P. over the lid and blended into the corner. This is going to be my go to summer look.

Influenster Spring Beauty VoxBox

I received my first Influenster box earlier this month and I wanted to give an overview of the products and review them a little.

• Sally Hansen Salon Effects strips- I love these. It \was my first time using them, but I had been wanting to try them for a while. They were super easy to apply and the lasted to long. I was surprised that they didn't chip even when I was at work (since I work at a home improvement store) They were kind of a pain to take off, but it reminded me of removing glitter polish.

• Sheer Cover concealer-I love this concealer. It is my favorite for under my eyes. It hides my dark circles and really brightens up my under eye area.
• Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body wash- This is the best body wash I have ever used. I love the fact that it is natural, but they don't lie when they say it is moisturizing. I usually have really dry skin and I have used less moisturizer on my skin than I usually do. I also have these little red bumps on my arms that have seemed to disappear when I started using this. I can't wait to get a big bottle of it!
• SoyJoy Bar- I have had SoyJoy before and it was extremely dry and didn't have much of a taste, but this one was pretty good. It was still a little dry, but there was more of a taste to it and I could see myself bringing them to work with me for a healthy snack.

• Bath and Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist- I have two of these scents already, but this is one I have wanted for some time, so I was really happy to be able to try it. The scent is sweet, but it has a nice spice to it also. I bring it with me to work for when I need a little pick me up and I feel so much fresher when I wear it. 

•  Dr Scholls Ball of Foot pads- I love all the Dr Scholls products specifically designed for women. They really help target the spots that tend to hurt the most and with even my little heels these worked wonders to avoid blisters and toe cramps.
• ChapStick Lip Shield 365 (SPF 50+)- I tried this over the hot sunny weekend we had and I love the lemony smell of it. I'm glad it doesn't smell like sunscreen, but it does leave a bit of a white cast if you apply too much of it. I also feel like if you add too little it can be drying. I had to play with it a little to find the perfect amount to apply, but it isn't a terrible ChapStick. 

All products were sent to me for testing purposes from Influenster.
