BENEFIT BO-ING CONCEALER

Two words: Forget it! Even though Benefit likes to call this one "the best concealer in the world", I assure you it is not. It comes in a pan and has a cakey, greasy consistency which goes on thick. I does cover however.....after a while it seeps into all the fine lines surrounding your eyes adding about 10 years to your age.

Giorgio Armani "Lasting Silk" Foundation

Well, what can I say? I was very disappointed with this foundation, especially after having spent €42! The reason for my disappointment was the fact that, despite the beautiful colour palette, this foundation lists ALCOHOL as its third ingredient--very irritating and drying. When I put it on there was this overpowering smell of alcohol which I couldn't believe. Why on earth their chemists decided to include alcohol is beyond me. I must also add that this foundation doesn't even include an efficient sunscreen but I was willing to overlook this. Anyway, my fault. I should have read the ingredients list before buying. I will stay clear of the Armani tester from now on. In my opinion what they have done is unforgivable!!!
