My Current Favorite: Under Eye Brightener

Happy Monday everyone! Today is the second post in my "Current Favorite" series in which i tell you all about a product i'm loving at the moment and then give one away to a lucky reader! Last time I talked about an awesome mascara and today I'll be telling you about the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer.

I've been using this highlighting pen for months now and I absolutely adore it. To apply, I simply turn the knob at the bottom which causes product to be dispensed onto the brush at the top. Then I dab it under my eyes, in my inner corners, under my eyebrows, on my cheekbones, and lightly blend it out with a small brush. I don't notice it settling into any fine lines - although I don't have very many - and it stays put almost all day.

The coverage with this product is just average. It does well with my dark circles which aren't very prominent but probably won't provide maximum coverage to someone with severe dark circles. That being said, I mainly rely on this pen for brightening. After applying it to my tired looking eyes in the morning I can immediately tell a huge difference. I look so much more fresh and awake without being dewy or shimmery considering this has a matte finish.

These pens come in a decent shade range with both yellow and pink undertones. As of right now, I own one in the shade Ivory and one in Radiant. I find that Ivory has a bit more coverage but Radiant is a pinky/peachy color which does a better job at counteracting blueish under eye circles.

Now for the fun part! One of you lovely readers will receive a brand new Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in the shade of your choice! This giveaway will be open to residents of the U.K. and the U.S.

Spring Into Beauty Giveaway Hop!

Happy weekend lovely readers! So, as some of you know, I used to be a Young Adult (YA) fiction book blogger. Since drifting over from that HUGE community of book bloggers to this wonderful community of beauty bloggers, I've noticed a lot of differences. One being that there are no blog hops (that I know of anyway)! I remember being super excited for Spring to roll around in the book blogging community because there were always so many fun blog hops people could participate in (Click here to see an example of one that I took part in). They are a fantastic way to discover new blogs, interact with more people, learn about different products, and even pick up some goodies along the way!

I'm so excited to start this giveaway hop for anyone blogging about beauty, fashion, lifestyle, health, or anything related to these topics!

How It Works: 

1. Create a giveaway on your blog, include my Spring Into Beauty Giveaway Hop picture and the Linky list in your post.
2. If you don't want to create a new giveaway and/or already have one running, you can edit your post to include the picture and Linky list.
3. "Hop" from one blog to the next using the Linky list and enter everyone else's giveaways!
4. If you stumble across blogs that catch your eye, read more of their posts, leave them some comments, give them a follow! This is all about discovering blogs you've never been to before and sharing some love.

RULES: 

1. You MUST attach the Linky list to your giveaway post to participate in the hop. You do not, however, have to add the picture I created.
2. You have to mention somewhere in your post that you are participating in this hop and direct them to this post so they can read the rules and participate if they'd like.
3. Your prize can be anything as long as it is beauty, fashion, health, or lifestyle related. Cash, Amazon gift cards, Visa gift cards, etc. are all acceptable too.
4. This giveaway hop is starting today and ending at midnight Eastern time on April 5th, however you can start your giveaway and end your giveaway any time you'd like just add the end date to your "name" on the Linky list if it's sooner than April 5th.
5. It's up to you to determine who can enter your giveaway and what is required of them to enter it.
6. You do not have to participate in this hop to enter everyone's' giveaways.
6. Visit as many other links that you can and spread the word so we can get more people to participate!

My Giveaway:


For this hop, I'm going to be giving away either the Napoleon Perdis China Doll Eyeliner or a Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipstick. Winner gets to choose their prize and the shade of lipstick if that is their choice. I love the look of a nice black eyeliner with a fun, bright lip for Spring! This is for US residents only - sorry international readers! Please add your giveaway to the Linky and hopefully we can continue this giveaway hop for years to come!

My Current Favorite: Mascara

Happy Saturday Lovelies! So, I'm thinking about starting this thing where every once in a while I update you on one of my current favorite beauty products and then give one of those products away to you lovely readers!

Today I'm excited to tell you guys about my favorite mascara at the moment, the Revlon Lash Potion. This is both a volumizing and lengthening mascara that claims to have strengthening proteins. It can be found at most drugstores for anywhere around $5 to $9. I absolutely love this mascara because it makes my lashes look HUGE! It gives them decent length and a ton of volume. The formula is not too wet or too dry and the brush helps it stay clump-free for the first 3 coats. I get compliments almost every time I wear it and I'm so excited to give a tube away to one of you awesome readers.

I want you to keep in mind that mascaras are never going to work the same for everyone. One of the downsides of this mascara is that it can flake just a bit after wearing it for a long time. It also doesn't do a lot when it comes to separating lashes so if that's your favorite aspect of a mascara, you might want to skip out on this one! I'm also sad to say that this is a US only giveaway. I'm so sorry international readers! Otherwise, I hope you all enter this giveaway and look forward to seeing more in the future!
