MAC Pro- Longwear Concealer Review

G'day y'all!

I have the longest school days of all time, sometimes I'm in class from 9am to 7pm, which means putting on my makeup at 7am and having it last for at least 12 hours.

Sortof an issue when I have oily skin and makeup tends to melt throughout the day.

So I wanted to invest in a long wearing concealer, something that's high coverage enough for my hyper pigmentation but feels light on the skin for the humid and sticky Hong Kong weather.

So I went and got myself the MAC Pro-Longwear concealer. I'm in the shade NC20, 15 for winter months and 25 with fake tan. But since it's spring/summer, I'm at my natural shade.

After using it everyday for 2 months, I feel like it's an adequate time to finally review it.

Packaging:

I don't exactly like the pump for a concealer. I find it hard to control- sometimes on good days I might need less or if I have horrible skin over finals week, one pump isn't enough and two pumps is way too much.

I pump it on the back of my hand and apply it on my face with my finger. I find that I'm always wiping some excess off the back of my hand cos the pump always dispenses way too much product for one go. Bonus points for hygiene though.

It's in a glass container, which I have no problem with. If you are one of those roughies then it might not be for you, because it might shatter if you drop it.

Coverage:

As for the product itself, it contains 0.30 fluid ounces, which isn't too bad for it's price of $19USD. I find that it has amazing coverage. I would say it's medium to full coverage, and definitely buildable. It's long wearing- I find that I don't have to touch up on throughout the day. Of course it'll naturally melt off a bit but not too much that I have to touch up on. I found that it's also slightly water resistant, which is great if the weather is feeling bipolar and decides to rain on a sunny day.

Usage:

I quite like to use this on hyper pigmentation as well as the circles under my eyes. It feels lightweight enough for it to go under my eyes, without it creasing. I like to use my finger for this product because I think it makes it super blended and natural. For under my eyes, I layer this under my eyes with the MAC Prep + Prime highlighter in Radiant Rose, which is a really moisturising combination and really brightens up my eyes for a really awake look. Even though I might look like a zombie with all the uni stress.

All in all, I give it

Packaging: 6/10

Overall: 8/10

Great Ocean Road; Twelve Apostles

Hey guys,

On Saturday, 12th April, I went along the Great Ocean Road to visit the Twelve Apostles in Victoria. They were absolutely beautiful. It took about 3 hours to get there and about 2 hours to get back not including stops. Altogether we travelled 560km. Crazy!

The weather was a bit crazy, it was raining and then sunny and just kept alternating between the two.

Here are some of the photos I took. The beach where you see the Twelve Apostles is called Gibsons Beach, you have to go down a cliff which has about 90 stairs but it was so worth it. There are actually only eight Apostles left which is a little sad as erosion has gotten the better of them. In a thousand years from now though, more may be created as you can see in the picture with the cave, that's how they are formed. I loved the different colours and textures of the stone and the different colours in the ocean. In the last picture, you can see the sun is setting which was so beautiful. I wish I could have stayed there a bit longer.

For lunch there was a little food court at Apolo Bay and I had fish and chips. Apparently the fish was flake fish which is also known as gummy shark caught fresh from the ocean. None the less it was delicious.

We left at 8am in the morning and I arrived back at 7:30pm.

Definitely if you get a chance, this is a place to go! It has such a relaxing atmosphere.

Anyway, I'm on holidays right now, I've got one more week to go! Hope you're all having a lovely holiday and have a wonderful Easter!

Love Sally.
