Accessorize Concealer Kit
Today I wanted to share with you a beauty bargain I came across last week. I’ve never tried Accessorize’s makeup before but when I spotted their entire range with 50% off in Superdrug I couldn’t resist this concealer kit:
I love the floral packaging of the concealer kit, a pretty and girly design as you’d expect from Accessorize, and the slimline box is perfect to slip into your handbag. The bright pink elastic even ensures that it stays shut once in there! The kit includes 4 concealer creams in various shades – two shades of nude, one yellow based shade and a pink shade too which could be used as a cream blusher. In the centre, there is also a pressed powder. The case has a small mirror but unfortunately doesn’t include a brush – I’ve been carrying my Real Techniques Detailer brush in my handbag for any touch-ups, which I bought as part of the Core Collection Kit from Amazon.
I really like the layout of this little set, and although the colours are obviously a general ‘one shade fits all,’ the different sections ensures that these can be blended to create more flexible shades. The set is probably a little too dark for very pale ladies, but I find that it covers up my dark under-eye circles very well. I particularly like the yellow section as a great dupe for Benefit’s Lemon Aid, as it reduces redness and provides a smooth base on my eyelids for the nude concealers. All in all, it’s a cute and useful addition to my makeup bag which is sure to get a lot of use – especially as my tired eyes will only be getting worse as my dissertation deadline looms!
This Accessorize concealer set unfortunately isn’t available at Superdrug online but check out the stand in your local Superdrug if you want to bag a bargain at £2.50. However I actually think this kit is worth the full RRP of £5 regardless – it’s still a great purse-friendly buy for such a handy little kit. Have you tried
