First Impressions: Product Review

Concealers are a must-have in your makeup stash. WHY? They are perfect for those sleepless nights, to cover imperfections, and for minimal everyday wear. 

_________________________________________________________________________________

I am a fan of concealers, not only for under eye highlight but for color and correction as well. I have been on a hunt for a corrector concealer and since I have yet to purchase MAC Corrector Palette I decided to give another brand a shot. Well, I went to Target and purchased two second to none concealers from Iman Cosmetics. 

Shades Purchased: Clay Medium & Medium Deep.

Now before I get into my opinion, I want to say that I love how the brand has so many shades for women like myself. They have shades for women of a darker complexion. The brand also has a variety of products that you don't have to look anywhere else for this bb cream and that powder and can stick with them for a full face.

Pros: 

The makeup is very lightweight and can be used just by itself. 

It is very affordable and can be found in many cosmetic stores such as Target and Ulta.

I love concealer pots because you can get out just enough without squeezing out too much with the tubes.

Cons:

It does not meant for anyone who wants to conceal or correct. (Well, not for me.) If you are looking for a heavier consistency then I would not recommend this concealer. 

I am still on the hunt for a great brand. I love MAC's Concealers and LA Pro but what are some other brands that you love?? 

MyBrownCanvas: Face Cleansers

Having a clean face is very important. Washing your face every morning and night before bed helps to cleanse the skin of dirt, impurities, and makeup. It is normal that some may just use warm water to cleanse their face while others opt to indulge in facial cleansers, exfoliates, and tools in their everyday regimen.

Facial cleansers are a great tool to have in your beauty cabinet because it helps to remove dead skin cells, and clean off excess dirt that may still be lingering onto your skin and for deeper cleansing. It is not essential to use them in conjunction with an exfoliate scrub because your skin may end up becoming more raw than obtaining the benefits of the tool.

You can try out the Olay Pro X  which can be brought in stores such as Target before spending the big bucks on a Clarisonic Mia which that is found online or stores like Sephora.

Also using exfoliate pads that are dual sided with ridges and a smooth soapy pad reaps many pro's to a daily facial regimen especially to individuals like myself with very sensitive skin and is the least expensive.

Sleeping in makeup or going to bed with a dirty face can cause skin problems and bring about aging as well. Be sure to change out your pillow case often. Your Skin is the largest organ on your body, treat it daily. Good skin is the foundation for a flawless face, with or without makeup.
