Just Bought Products: Small Drugstore Haul - Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Treatment, TRESemme Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo, Revlon Photoready Concealer, Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer & Quo Eye Liner

Just wanted to share a small drugstore haul I purchased today.  =)


First of, is the Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Treatment. I had just finished a bottle of a similar product and wanted to give this a try.

I also wanted to get a dry shampoo. In the past, I have used Dove's dry shampoo and was reaching out for it when I saw that TRESemme also has one and it was on sale for the same price as the Dove's. Since I know how good TRESemme products are (I have used their shampoo, conditioner and heat protector), I'd thought I will give their Dry Shampoo a go - got the TRESemme Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo.

Next, I am running low of my Shu Uemura under-eye concealer. Now that I am back in Canada, Shu Uemura is not a brand that I could easily get my hands on (not too sure if it is even available here). So I have to find an alternative. A while back, I was satisfied with Bobbi Brown's creamy concealer and thought that maybe I should go back to it. I searched reviews up on drugstore concealers with creamy consistencies and stumble over the Revlon Photoready Concealer. Hopeful that this concealer will impress me as it did to many other users.

On my way to the cashier, I saw that the Rimmel section had a sale going on and I bought another one of the highly raved about product - the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer.
 

Mine is in the shade 101 Celestial. Super excited to try this!

Last but not least, I passed a clearance box and in it was this Quo Eye Liner. Almost all of my eyeliners are either black or brown and I had wanted to get an eyeliner in a color that will brighten up my eyes a bit.
  The shade is called Ice Pink and it is from their Pearl Eye Liner collection.

Can't wait to try out all these products!

Almay Wake Up Undereye Concealer

Although I am not a daily foundation user, I am  however an avid fan of undereye concealer and use it on a daily basis.
My current undereye concealer is one that I bought during my recent trip to Ottawa, Canada. So unfortunately, it is not available in Malaysia. I do however think it is good to know what other brands out there that are available, so that when u travel to other countries (or have relatives/friends traveling overseas who does not mind buying products for others) you know what is available.


The Almay brand is available both in the United States and Canada. (Not sure if it is confined only to these 2 countries). I bought their concealer due to its shade and price.

I had always preferred a concealer with a yellow undertone and about 2 to 3 shades lighter than my skin tone (yes, I like my undereye to be THAT much lighter, huhu). So the yellow-ey shade of this Almay concealer attracted me right away.
There are 3 shades available. I bought the middle shade - 020 in light/medium.
The Almay Wake Up Undereye Concealer comes in a 6.5mL squeezable tube with a brush tip.


It has a more creamy than liquid consistency and has a very muted smell.

The application is easy with the brush. I use my fingers to blend it out...


Here is a comparison before and after the application.


I love how the product brightens my undereye area without leaving a grey cast.
Overall, really happy with it and hope that i will be able to re-purchase mine when it runs out!
The Almay Wake Up Undereye Concealer sells for CAD10.90 before tax ( about MYR33.00 ).

Reminder: Product that works for me may not work for you, and vice versa. =)
