</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I took a small nail art brush and China Glaze White On White and made a large + with an x.

I was already way over my limit for what I wanted to spend on my Wally World trip so I was looking for something a bit cheaper than Seche Vite, which I have been using for a while.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I picked this up at a steal of about $3 in change. On the ride home I was thinking... I hope this isn't going to be just a cheapy top coat like most. Well, with just the first use I was thoroughly impressed! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It gave a really nice glossy finish to my nails, making them look like smooth colored glass, which I loved! It dried super quickly, which is a MUST for me! After a few days I had noticed no chipping and my nails were hard and strong, just as this product claims to make your nails.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This top coat kept my manicure for days with no chipping or peeling, unlike Seche Vite which I can easily just peel off within one day! I think this Top Coat is much better than Seche Vite, especially since it's only a fraction of the price! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've heard such beauty bloggers as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/FleurDeForce?feature=chclk">FleurDeForce</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/missglamorazzi?feature=chclk">MissGlamorazzi</a> raving about Sally Hansen Mega Shine Top Coat, and some other of Sally Hansen top coats, but I figured that with those ones being $5-7 and this one only being $3, I wouldn't be getting a quality product, but this top coat is a must have! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I doubt I will ever buy Seche Vite again, unless it's on sale. This top coat has replaced it for me! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So the first step is to condition your lips with the Blueberry Rose Salve. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next I added the Soft Lips Pearl Tint to add our first layer of shine.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Over the tint I used NYX Round Lipstick in Strawberry Milk.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next I used NYX Pot Lacquer in Coffee Run to give a level of sparkle and gloss!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwa8fCMCSwESTSX5J4edj0ByH3sQsgwhPhsWyk6grTk6fmaClV0K8MJoMpkXCMikvjXOacS8dlyG85qZBvHbDgboyNH5ie4u2Hu9osC8sbwobY4SgrZu7zpi9pGKqcvd5zzUoLwmA6t2o/s1600/064COFFEERUN.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwa8fCMCSwESTSX5J4edj0ByH3sQsgwhPhsWyk6grTk6fmaClV0K8MJoMpkXCMikvjXOacS8dlyG85qZBvHbDgboyNH5ie4u2Hu9osC8sbwobY4SgrZu7zpi9pGKqcvd5zzUoLwmA6t2o/s320/064COFFEERUN.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now the lips look like this.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So the first thing I did was use my base coat and then apply two coats of China Glaze Shower Together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTe_EO6HdkrjZ1PHsfgGF4sTWnoXh7M4DhyphenhyphenqzX25o-jypKM4zGFigiYjA7HsgeZq1fyrj5Xre1y5PEhKAi5EV2tqJQYD6rWNKEg4Lv9sD8slROufm5H7Xlbbcd56poTMK6JIiwCceRDSJU/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTe_EO6HdkrjZ1PHsfgGF4sTWnoXh7M4DhyphenhyphenqzX25o-jypKM4zGFigiYjA7HsgeZq1fyrj5Xre1y5PEhKAi5EV2tqJQYD6rWNKEg4Lv9sD8slROufm5H7Xlbbcd56poTMK6JIiwCceRDSJU/s640/004.JPG" t8="true" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next, I used the NailRitz pen in blue to create the outline of the ocean wave.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgig3uujikg-NzlLp1eoRpu-JG94qHdbc6Fa8fR1f0_SPZFaN7t7yfqTxFr2j3b1cqOiKKmfhlJvf4wH-nYmW0r0NYPiHzurCb_fGPuKYFmHmkc6DGLno1xLIIOFuixp7QhZTQ2TwY9EpX8/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgig3uujikg-NzlLp1eoRpu-JG94qHdbc6Fa8fR1f0_SPZFaN7t7yfqTxFr2j3b1cqOiKKmfhlJvf4wH-nYmW0r0NYPiHzurCb_fGPuKYFmHmkc6DGLno1xLIIOFuixp7QhZTQ2TwY9EpX8/s640/010.JPG" t8="true" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After that, I took my small nail art brush, which you can get for a couple dollars at Sally's probably, and I filled in the wave with China Glaze For Audrey.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKcqf6YebIyRZNrB4wewaseMg3AlcP5WIm0s9cMeNun6v8oX6dMAI93mSpRVYJJi_Kngx7e7W-kVQ6GvhaYSRzHxyRMRg5OeNRKZ-orI-jUGPKfDyh4UGlii5mzWYDI4YcZJawdp5qhgt/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKcqf6YebIyRZNrB4wewaseMg3AlcP5WIm0s9cMeNun6v8oX6dMAI93mSpRVYJJi_Kngx7e7W-kVQ6GvhaYSRzHxyRMRg5OeNRKZ-orI-jUGPKfDyh4UGlii5mzWYDI4YcZJawdp5qhgt/s640/012.JPG" t8="true" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I took the NailRitz pen in white and just highlighted the inside curl of the wave.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0k-1eVUPQVU3kuEdHbyEGGwX80ZT6bezM2gAgj2U2s1HTS29p7mdJBy-WheEKeFzOT8tatsh1ELdi4XpXBzzsdGX9bGJv5y4UivgyOGWg3kH3iIoRMyz8zi7DOug7hyUUHy0iIsOBaNiJ/s1600/014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0k-1eVUPQVU3kuEdHbyEGGwX80ZT6bezM2gAgj2U2s1HTS29p7mdJBy-WheEKeFzOT8tatsh1ELdi4XpXBzzsdGX9bGJv5y4UivgyOGWg3kH3iIoRMyz8zi7DOug7hyUUHy0iIsOBaNiJ/s640/014.JPG" t8="true" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The last color I used was a Color Club nail art brush in turquoise glitter and I just added this sparsely inside the wave to give it some dimension. <br />

Okay!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Okay so the first thing I did was prime my eyes with Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden, the matte one. Then I used NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk all over the lid and up into the crease a bit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm not sure what the number is but I will put it in when I find out. It's a sparkly pinky purple.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the rest of the face I just used my foundation powder and then contoured with a matte bronzer and added a subtle peachy pink blush.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And then I finished with NYX Round Lipstick in Strawberry Milk and some clear sparkling glass over top of it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Today's review is not for a product, but a website. For those of you not familiar with <a href="http://www.cherryculture.com/">Cherry Culture</a>, it is a website that sells many different make up brands ranging from high end brands like Jelly Pong Pong and Beauty Blender sponges to drugstore brands like Milani. They also sell some brands that you can find in dollar stores such as LA Colors, which I don't really bother with.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The main reason you usually hear people talking about Cherry Culture, though, is for there huge range of NYX products. They might actually have the whole NYX line on their website. Anyway, the best part about Cherry Culture is that they sell NYX products for less than you see them on the NYX website or at ULTA, and it's always a plus for me when I can get the same product for less!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihHFiosGcF41w0TF-h0AQYMzscBT9wXjZVeJgiWZIOg7_HwYVsojr0yb0t5oPEJZT1D7uNVWTu5faU0r9xXPUM1iKfDfZbDiqRRLpcqVb8bnwz8ohfhV2NNCyEJoyqFyjF81aPaGVaaIQ0/s1600/NYX_LOGO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihHFiosGcF41w0TF-h0AQYMzscBT9wXjZVeJgiWZIOg7_HwYVsojr0yb0t5oPEJZT1D7uNVWTu5faU0r9xXPUM1iKfDfZbDiqRRLpcqVb8bnwz8ohfhV2NNCyEJoyqFyjF81aPaGVaaIQ0/s320/NYX_LOGO.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Cherry Culture not only has frequent sales on loads of their items, but most of the items are being sold at sale prices 24/7. </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Cherry Culture should be an option for everyone looking for products from Beauty Blender to Sinful Colors. It makes finding products that you can only find in certain areas simple! For example, I've been searching for these Milani eye liners that I couldn't find in any stores near me that sell Milani, I found a quick fix from Cherry Culture! </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Cherry Culture offers a great rewards program in which they give you one point for every dollar you spend. For every $250 you spend, which is quite easy ;), you receive a $10 gift card! That may not seem like much, but it is a lot more than what the NYX website will give you!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">They also offer free shipping on orders over $40, for registered members, which is so simple to do, and US residents, and also a 25% discount for any order over $300 ! Which I appreciate because, as said before, it is so easy to spend spend spend on their website. </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I just bought a massive haul worth of products form Cherry Culture and they should be arriving any day now. I think if you are looking for NYX or other drugstore brands, for cheaper than usual, check out Cherry Culture, which is linked above, and if a sale isn't going on on the products you are wanting to purchase just hold off for a couple weeks and check back because I'm sure they will have a sale soon! </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hope you enjoyed this long and thorough review lol. </span></div><div align="center"><br />

I did a very simple nail art look using a peachy base and some gold glitter polish! Perfect for the beach or any summer day!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">So, the first thing I did was use a base coat and the base coat I use is Seche Clear. Next I applied a peachy orange color, which was Wet n Wild's Blazed polish. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdiDGqRBDHaLn7VjeFz9l6J_Gzfw5ylQ0I4RKbdCj2mUnVD1gjG_VmHXfivVotusk1QGU5K41tcgPoEPnewuMsTuNtArr0kfDsDkiWbGWlHtg8gKSBJhqGUpkqAP2JGfsDXLdQkedHw-qw/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdiDGqRBDHaLn7VjeFz9l6J_Gzfw5ylQ0I4RKbdCj2mUnVD1gjG_VmHXfivVotusk1QGU5K41tcgPoEPnewuMsTuNtArr0kfDsDkiWbGWlHtg8gKSBJhqGUpkqAP2JGfsDXLdQkedHw-qw/s320/002.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I used an Orly polish called Honeymoon In Style.. but I didn't really like the color when I bought so I did mix this color myself.. but it's just a sheer peachy pinky nude color.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5dxmsN3T3n6ViKP2mTu7xg7biM95u0VS321zwg53rVRA07v8JgtAFRoABVp750sEIJNQTgZbeFq9-_5PeUqG-ZMXK3NpVJNmottJKrrIk52M49yrUdmVB3YKlQBEPHdkCEZn2sfwTT13Q/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5dxmsN3T3n6ViKP2mTu7xg7biM95u0VS321zwg53rVRA07v8JgtAFRoABVp750sEIJNQTgZbeFq9-_5PeUqG-ZMXK3NpVJNmottJKrrIk52M49yrUdmVB3YKlQBEPHdkCEZn2sfwTT13Q/s320/003.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last thing I did was add a vertical stripe right down the middle and for that I used Sinful Colors All About You, which is a gold glitter.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdAgPp5babvrC3KbnsWkaYrokaAuLPET7BdkOSEyEggZvOUR6mt7YxuZDR5ENArDRD_VdSrbYNUSNKPoOZbNHyYBFNzl8h8xkqF5JBtiwVdprLuwN1YVtecEduVX-RIL_t8nPhLR-eXoOO/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdAgPp5babvrC3KbnsWkaYrokaAuLPET7BdkOSEyEggZvOUR6mt7YxuZDR5ENArDRD_VdSrbYNUSNKPoOZbNHyYBFNzl8h8xkqF5JBtiwVdprLuwN1YVtecEduVX-RIL_t8nPhLR-eXoOO/s320/004.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And all you have to do is top it off with a top coat.

Today I've got a review of a product I've been testing out for about a month or so now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHSONXiizfFYw60zY0Kz_VZAPe1ldCgBBkhPuQeTFKFI9eDuVhv3IHT0zXG_3uOeeoGHvOKmZGx9BIV7BFHcq6RtRrm0iK79ZC5N9A13eKUODPIavkTbWw4Ax932UYEohCJp0Zd06vIsO/s1600/St__Ives.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjHSONXiizfFYw60zY0Kz_VZAPe1ldCgBBkhPuQeTFKFI9eDuVhv3IHT0zXG_3uOeeoGHvOKmZGx9BIV7BFHcq6RtRrm0iK79ZC5N9A13eKUODPIavkTbWw4Ax932UYEohCJp0Zd06vIsO/s320/St__Ives.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, I picked this up at Walgreens about a month ago and I got in the small travel size. I smelled it in store and thought it was the most amazing scent so I had to get it. It was roughly $1.69. I looked around the face wash section for a bigger bottle, but they only had the travel size so I picked up several because they were only 1oz! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, I did figure out that there is a full size, very reasonably priced at $5-7. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now on the the review. This product claims to that it</span></div><div class="blurb"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Clears breakouts and reduces redness Salicylic Acid Acne Medication With 100% Natural Green Tea, taken straight from the website. I noticed this product has much finer granules in it than the apricot scrub that I've been using religiously since I was 13. These granules actually seem to get deep into my pores and clear out my black heads even better than my apricot scrub made specially for black heads! </span></div><div align="center" class="blurb"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="blurb">The smell is gorgeous. Very light and fresh. It doesn't necessarily smell like green tea, but more of a melon fresh fruit scent, which I adore. </div><div align="center" class="blurb"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="blurb">This product, as previously stated, claims to reduce redness, which I have some of on my cheeks. I haven't really noticed a reduction in my redness, but it is helping my skin feel soft, smooth, and black head and breakout free. </div><div align="center" class="blurb"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="blurb">I only have a few cons. I tend to chew on my cuticle area when I get bored or nervous, terrible habit but I do it, and when I get this scrub inside those "wounds" I guess you could call them it stings a little bit, but probably due to the fact that the granules are half the size of sand! </div><div align="center" class="blurb"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="blurb">The only other con being I can't find the full size in any of the drugstores in my area! Hopefully I'm not looking hard enough though. </div><div align="center" class="blurb"><br />
</div><div align="center" class="blurb">I do adore this product and although it says it's safe too use everyday, because it's not very abrasive, I like to switch it from day to day with my regular apricot scrub! :)</div><div align="center" class="blurb"><br />

</div><div align="center" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I almost always use a nice thin coat of China Glaze White On White before using my bright summer polishes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyUM3FMsM3SeIg_vp6-K4Ps0kgw2Vm4T48FCSDncxMohB3D6h0J9inFbzUcwyuwALgZdZP5RnZtl6E6ycVSf16mRGgnE22l36k_UuK7imIhf5cyIVYo9OxE69RMRCv5Bntl7LqyhMoNOk8/s1600/Chingalagze.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyUM3FMsM3SeIg_vp6-K4Ps0kgw2Vm4T48FCSDncxMohB3D6h0J9inFbzUcwyuwALgZdZP5RnZtl6E6ycVSf16mRGgnE22l36k_UuK7imIhf5cyIVYo9OxE69RMRCv5Bntl7LqyhMoNOk8/s200/Chingalagze.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is going to amplify any color instead of just being on a skin tone background. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">P.S. This works great if your nails have yellowed a bit or if you have really long nails and you don't want the space between finger and nail length to show !</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope you enjoyed the tip! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is my first of many posts on my new Beauty Blog :) </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">This review is for the Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfC6BIauWs804S90JsdUUjdE3kSmh2__9fAy14uBmn5bgegFEPAbbfZgYX22sHRoQq85Lo2FN7Oee4N5ApvNYQ652rNnjNZT_rv0oyTdzF_L4OiXEvi8yE9QuQWzu11OCpuVuLFNni4wc/s1600/062.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfC6BIauWs804S90JsdUUjdE3kSmh2__9fAy14uBmn5bgegFEPAbbfZgYX22sHRoQq85Lo2FN7Oee4N5ApvNYQ652rNnjNZT_rv0oyTdzF_L4OiXEvi8yE9QuQWzu11OCpuVuLFNni4wc/s320/062.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div align="center">Now, besides the adorable name and the added bonus concealer pencil this product is a definite must get! Hard Candy claims this is "A heavy duty, multi-use concealer that provides ultimate coverage. Formula blends flawlessly into skin. Hide everything from dark circles and blemishes to tattoos."</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I'm happy to report that this product does most everything it claims, even covers my tattoos! The consistency is very creamy and blendable. You only need the tiniest bit to cover anything your heart desires. This concealer, a steal at just $6 at Walmart, will be replacing my Real Deal Concealer by Laura Geller, which has gone all watery :(. I've compared them next to each other and the Hard Candy one might even have slightly better coverage. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">The only con is that Hard Candy only offers three colors at this time. Light, Medium and Tan. After debating on the Light or Medium since summer is coming, I got the Light. It's not a perfect match for my lightly tanned skin so I will probably go back and pick up the Medium. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">You get 20 g of product, which is the same as the Laura Geller one, for only $6! What a steal!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">I say run to Walmart and pick up some of this concealer if you are in the market for a nice full coverage concealer to hide anything! </div><div align="center"><br />
