Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour All Over Miracle Oil Image

 

This product right here is a vivid example of ‘the blogger made me buy it’ purchase. Prior to buying this Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour All-Over Miracle Oil, I have heard and seen a lot of it on social media and on some of my favourite blogs. And I have recently fallen in love with body oils, so I knew I had to buy it. And I didn’t just buy it, I made my mum buy it as well, lol..

I have used this product for weeks now and I have quite a lot to say about it but before I dive right into it, here is what Elizabeth Arden has to say about it:

Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour® All-Over Miracle Oil is a versatile, multi-tasking formula for the face, body and hair. Infused with Tsubaki oil, an ultra-hydrating ingredient that works to deliver long-lasting moisture, revealing radiant, healthy-looking skin with a firmer appearance.

Here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. I like the packaging. I like when products come in a pump bottle.
  2. I love the fresh smell of this oil. It smells so good and the fragrance stays on for hours.
  3. I like the fact that I can use it all over my body – body, face, hair. Instead of buying 3 separate body oils, I just buy 1. Great to take away on holiday. It is a great multi-tasking product.
  4. My skin feels smooth and soft after each use.
  5. I get this glow after using the product.
  6. It has a dry oil texture and absorbs quickly, so not too oily for the face or hair.
  7. It is easily accessible in most stores for £29 for a 100ml bottle.

Product Review: Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil

Product Review Urban Decay Concealer Pencil Image

I went in search of a concealer pencil some weeks ago, and I came across this Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil. The whole idea of having a concealer pencil is to enable me apply my concealer quickly and on the go if needed. I got this beauty at Debenhams, and I have used it quite a lot now.

Here is what Urban Decay has to say about this product:

Hide dark circles and blemishes with our creamy formula that dries matte and stays put. Because it’s a pencil, it’s easy to apply with precision. A concealer in pencil form equals precise application, and less mess-no brush, no dipping your finger into a pot, or squeezing a dollop onto a sponge. Dot on tiny blemishes, or shade in large problem areas (like redness around the nose and chin). The creamy formula blends easily, then dries down to a smudge-free matte finish.

Here are my thoughts on this concealer:

PROS

  1. I love the shade. I got mine in shade ATF, and it suits my skin perfectly.
  2. It is so easy to apply, with a lot less mess than when I do use a liquid concealer.
  3. It is super affordable and accessible at £14 at Debenhams, House of Fraser, Boots, and many other stores.
  4. It blends in quickly and leaves a matte finish which I love.
  5. It is long-lasting. It stays on all day.
  6. It is perfect for highlighting, and great for under eyes.
  7. I love the light and creamy texture.
  8. It has good full coverage. It covers all blemishes, spots and other skin imperfections.
  9. It is a vegan, cruelty free product.
  10. I love the packaging. I think it is so pretty.

CONS

  1. Be careful not to apply too much pressure when using the pencil so the tip does not break.

Overall, I really like the Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil, and I will definitely be buying it again.
