Beauty on Trial #2

I put up a post like this fairly recently and it went down pretty well, so here I am writing another! I try a lot of makeup as it is but after last month being a bit of a slow one, I definitely have a fair few newbies to try in April. Here are three I'm currently road-testing!

NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer - You've probably heard everyone and their mother going on about this concealer. I was sent one a little while back but it was too dark for me to use. I spotted this at a beauty sale I attended and decided to just blindly buy this shade. It's still a little too dark for me, but I think I can make it work in the summer, as long as I use it solely to cover blemishes. The texture is creamy and blendable and it seems to have fantastic coverage. Will keep you posted!

KIKO Radiant Fusion Baked Powder - When my trusty Soap &a Glory One Heck of a Blot hit pan so hard it shattered, I put off buying a new powder. I'm lazy and also hate repurchasing "boring" makeup like face powder (I'm a brat, I know) so I picked this up on a whim and just kind of went with it. It doesn't seem to add too much coverage, which I'm definitely happy about and it's been doing a pretty good job as a setting powder. I'll continue to use it to give you a more precise review but so far, so good!

By Terry Glow-Expert Duo Stick - Another impulse buy because it was pretty and shimmery. Obviously I'm a strategic shopper. So this is marketed as a highlighter, bronzer and blush in one, inspired by contouring trends. I can tell you right now that I'll look like a crazy person if I try to contour with this. It's far too warm and extremely shimmery. I will, however, give it a chance as a bronzer. I think where it really shines (har har) is as a highlighter. This also has an inbuilt mini brush on the other end, making it a pretty good one for on-the-go application. The one thing that unsettles me about this is the very strong fragrance. As a sensitive-skinned gal, I'm wary of anything that is strongly perfumed. Here's to hoping this doesn't irritate the ol' face!

So there you have it, a few of the beauty bits I'm currently putting to the test. I'll update you as I go, as per usual and perhaps these will crop up in a favorites post at some point! Have you tried any of these products?
