OCC Conceal - Review

Hii Lovelies!

OCC Conceal has been on my radar for quite some time, i read and watched rave reviews around its launch time and have lusted after it ever since. But with my awful luck as soon as I'd finished up my current stash of concealers this little gem was out of stock nearly everywhere (i really don't like paying postage if i can help it) so i decided to wait and get my paws on it at IMATS.
 

This was actually the only OCC product i picked up at IMATS this year, i know... its shocking! But i was trying to be restrained after last year spendathon. OCC Conceal comes in 10 shades 5 with red based undertones and 5 yellow based meaning there is really something for most skin tones, even if you have to mix. Now I knew i wanted R0, but i probably should of had a little swatch at R1 too but the booth was manic so i just popped my order in for the one colour. R0 is quite possibly the lightest concealer I've seen excluding the Illamasqua whites. If you struggle to find concealers pale enough for your skin tone I'd give this a looky!


It has quite a thin consistency but with superb coverage, i find it covers my under eye circles with just a smidge of product. Like all concealers (in my opinion) it does need setting though or it will crease. Sadly, I'm a little too dark to use this for covering blemishes currently but i do think this would work great for it. I'm going to need to buy R1 now aren't I?

You get an extremely generous 8g of product which is considerably more that most concealers (some of those clicky ones only hold just over a gram, shocking!) and as you need the smallest amount of product i can see this lasting a long, long time just for personal use. Priced at £15.50 its in the mid price range, but even though i paid £10 show price if i ever run out, I'd be more than happy to order a full priced one online.


Overall OCC Conceal is a pretty darn good concealer, I'll now need to go grab the darker shade and have a play around ASAP. For my pale lovelies, seriously check this one out if you've yet to find a decent concealer for your complexion. For everyone else, go check out their shade range!

OCC Conceal is available in the UK from Cult Beauty. 

What is your favourite concealer?

IMATS London - Shopping List

Hey Lovelies!
IMATS London is just a week away now, how exciting! I went a little bit mad last year and spent far, far too much money so this year I'm on a much stricter budget. Over the past few months I've been making a little list of the goodies i "need" to pick up while I'm there, I'm sure there will be many other things purchased but these are the bits and bobs I'm looking for. As much as i would love to splurge on Inglot i think i did a bit too much of that last year and I've yet to hit pan on even one shadow from them, so I'm trying to be a good girl this year. As you can see, my list is much more restrained!

NARS Laguna Bronzer
Its their first year at IMATS and I've recently hit pan on a couple of my products, so a repurchase of Laguna is definitely needed!

OCC Concealer 
I've been after this little beaut for a while now and everywhere i look R0 has been out of stock, so fingers crossed i can get my mitts on this.

MUFE Smoky Lash 
My all time favourite mascara. I purchased two last year which have completely ran out so more are needed ASAP!

Kett Hydro Airbrush Foundation 
Now I'm not totally set on which airbrush foundation i want yet, its a toss up between Kett and OCC so I'll guess we'll see on the day. I purchased a Dinair system before Christmas and its not seen a lot of love from me due to not liking the Dinair foundation formula so I'm eager to get a different brand and whack the airbrush out much more.

Glitter 
All of it.

Crown Blending Crease Brush 
You can never have enough blending brushes and this Crown brush has been one of my favourites so a backup or two is definitely needed. And knowing me there will be a few more cheeky crown brush purchases.

NARS Light Reflecting Setting Powder
 Again, I've had my eye on this little beauty for some time now. Its seen pretty much rave reviews online and I'm actually running out of both my favourite setting powders.

Limecrime Red Velvet Velvetine 
Now Limecrime aren't exhibiting themselves but there are a few places that stock them so fingers crossed they bring this to the show. I've been really put off purchasing Limecrime products for obvious reasons but I'm a sucker for matte red lip products.

Are you going to IMATS this year?
Whats on your shopping list?
