Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer

Beauty Bag Dolls I have been keeping a secret from you and it is a good one that I can finally reveal. The brand new Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer that is launching today January 3rd on the Laura Mercier website and on January 5th on Sephora.com I have been using this daily since before the holiday weekend and I have not looked back. I was lucky enough to receive this concealer from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest review and below I will attach that review but first some quick information about the new Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer comes in 22 shades and costs $33.00. It is also powered by 85% skincare formula that is crease proof, cake free, 16 hour wear and medium coverage. I used this for over a week before leaving my review on BzzAgent and have reached for every single day. I also live to set it with my favorite Laura Mercier setting powder review is here. As for my review for this amazing new concealer read on.

My favorite new concealer and must have of 2024!

The Review I left on BzzAgent:

The Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer is like nothing else! It is so lightweight yet is full coverage in my opinion. My dark circles disappeared and I apply to my blemishes and they are completely hidden. This never looked cakey and felt like skincare instead of Concealer. I also noticed my under eye was brightened and it never creased it stayed smooth from the 5 AM application until the 8 PM removal. This is my one and only Concealer because it's the best, I highly recommend it and will repurchase.

HIDE Foundation & Concealer

 Beauty Bag Dolls I am so excited to bring you two new reviews. I teased last week on TwitterTwitter a few times that I was searching for new foundation and concealer and by the end of the week I had both in hand and went to work testing out both for, four days but in all honesty I was so very happy with the performance of both by the end of the first day and the application and coverage was just what I needed. I know I am rambling but I am just that excited to introduce all of you to HIDE. This brand was kind enough to partner with me and send over two of their most popular products the foundation and concealer both are formulated without phthalates and are not tested on animals. Read on for the rest of the details and shop Hide to purchase.

HIDE Foundation and Concealer are two beauty bag must haves. The packaging is absolutely 💯!

The foundation is oil free formula with a natural finish and is medium to full coverage. I used one pump for medium coverage and pump and a half for full. I found that less is more which is great. This also good for all skin types and with my combination skin type it did not bother or irritate my skin, nor did it cause any breakouts. It felt so light on the skin and matched me perfectly. It is available in 20 shades. With using just one pump I got perfect coverage it immediately Hide from view any imperfections like acne scars or small blemishes for more coverage I added more however when I paired it with the concealer I found I needed less of the HIDE foundation and just a small amount of their HIDE concealer. For me the foundation is my new must have go to and works great applying it with a brush or damp beauty sponge. I am not someone who uses my fingers to apply foundation or concealer so I have no opinion about that. Also tested using both the HIDE foundation and concealer with a primer and without and you can get away without using a primer because this is a longwear foundation that did not crease, Crack or settle into fines lines nor did it enlarge my pores. The HIDE Foundation is a Beauty Bag must have and gets 5 $$$$$ from me the price and performance is out of this world it $30 and only sold on HIDE website.

Now for this awesome HIDE concealer I cannot believe how little you need and how great the coverage is. It is absolutely so light, I never experienced a truly weightless concealer until trying HIDE. It is exactly how HIDE describes it hydrating, weightless build able and oil free. This for me is full coverage with just a few dots or swipes on your face where you need it. Whether you have blemishes, dark circles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars etc this will cover it up and give you the coverage you always dreamed of before HIDE concealer came into your makeup routine. I could wear this alone all over my face if I am in a rush and don't have time for the full routine which would for me would have to include the HIDE foundation. I cannot say enough about this concealer it erases from view my dark circles on mornings that I went to bed late but still was up before 5AM it never creased or cracked and stayed on like the foundation for 14 hour days and only came off when I took it off. This HIDE concealer is what I have searched for and now have in combination with the HIDE foundation it's a dream team duo. I personally apply this with a damp sponge because its my personal preference you can play around and see what works for you. The HIDE concealer is available in 20 shades and costs $26 which is affordable because I would pay more for a concealer with how well it performs. I mean it even brightens my under eye so of course it is a Beauty Bag must have and gets 5 $$$$$. 

Without a doubt this is my new must have duo I reach for everyday and I a proud HIDE partner. To purchase these products click on any of the highlighted words it will link you directly to the HIDE website and some directly to the product itself.

Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow Luminizing Fluid Foundation w/SPF 20 & Giveaway/Chat

 Beauty Bag Dolls I went and did it again I bought another foundation, but of course I had good reasons. First, reason was that I was running very low at the time of purchase (now empty) of my Ilia foundation and my previous Shiseido was sitting in my empties, but I wanted something new and different this time around and I wanted it to have SPF in it and some glow for spring and summer. I did some research and decided to repurchase my Ilia because I do like it and the Sephora Rouge sale was going on so why not save 20% since I know it about a month or so I will need more foundation, but instead of getting my usual Shiseido that is oil free and has SPF 30, I went with the Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow Luminizing Fluid Foundation w/SPF 20. Now I have thoughts about this foundation, and you can read them on my Instagram post. Also, I am giving a bottle away to 5 lucky winners. (Your shade choice as well)

To WIN: Follow me on Twitter Follow me on Instagram (click any of the links labeled Instagram) remember to follow and not unfollow also I will DM winner on Instagram. If you like my Shiseido review on Instagram, you are entered bonus entries if you like 10 other photos. Good Luck Winner DM on May 2, 2022.

Update: What did you all haul during the Sephora sale? I got some new skincare and of course after using the new foundation mentioned above, I had to buy a concealer, but my shade was sold out online, so I headed to Sephora and bought the last new Dior concealer in my shade. Stay tune for my thoughts on that.

This is a 3 piece collection that contains two brand new products. I am beyond thrilled to share with you what is in the collection and why I love everything so much. I have been using everything for more than 2 weeks now and this is a TSV you cannot miss. This is currently on sale for $49.20 retails for $121.00 is available in 12 shades (my shade is medium) and for that price I am buying one additional one for myself and two as gifts.  Read on to learn more and shop here to purchase. It is item number A310436 (hint hint presale happing right now July 23, 2018)

These are my everyday must haves since it arrived! It Cosmetics are the best TSV's QVC offers! Shop Item #A310436 before it sells out!

According to It Cosmetics, "this exclusive three-piece collection features two new CC+ complexion must-haves—one that’s your best-selling favorite, now in a matte finish, and one that’s your skin-perfecting powder— plus, a revolutionary brush for flawless application. While CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 delivers full, natural-looking matte coverage, skincare and SPF 40 UVA/UVB broad-spectrum sunscreen, CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder with SPF 50+ helps diffuse and color-correct the look of imperfections. Both of these innovations pair perfectly with your included Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush No. 702 for your most beautiful finish!" That is how It Cosmetics explains this TSV I call it a miracle for anyone with acne, oily skin or if you have larger pores. Of course this is for all skin types but if you are someone like me with acne prone oily skin than you have been waiting for this forever and now you have the best of the best that It Cosmetics offers. Shop Item Number: A310436

As always the It Cosmetics TSV's come packaged perfectly and with two additional samples for you to try out! 

I was so thrilled to have the CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 and when I applied it with the Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush No. 702 I was so happy that it was a matte formula. My oily skin tends to get worse if something is to high in the SPF range I never use anything past SPF 50 but the SPF 40 in this formula is perfect. I used one pump for my entire face and every flaw and my dark circles disappeared from view. It didn't feel like a heavy foundation that I could wait to take off. Now if that wasn't good enough included in the It Cosmetics CC+ Your Most Beautiful Skin! Skin Perfecting Essentials Collection is the new CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder with SPF 50+ and when I dusted this on my face it truly color corrected my imperfections making old acne scars disappear and the redness was gone. I love to apply a light dusting of this over my CC+ Oil Free Matte and some days I just used the Perfecting Powder for light coverage I did a light dusting but I want to note that you can build this up to full coverage and it looks amazing. I also must mention that the powder has SPF 50+ which is awesome and I reach for this all the time. When you use the No. 702 brush with these two must haves you makeup will go on as if a professional makeup artist did your makeup. It truly makes the makeup just glide on evenly. I swear by It Cosmetics brushes. The TSV from It Cosmetics for July 27, 2018 is a must have. I adore it and use it every single day. Its a miracle for my skin type and I give it a 5 $$$$$ along with EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Doll 10 HydraBalm Serum Infused Foundation

Hi #BeautyBagDolls I am excited to bring you a review of the brand new foundation from Doll 10 which is their HydraBalm Serum Infused Foundation.  The Doll 10 HydraBalm Serum Infused Foundation is available in 6 shades, I have the shade medium and it was perfect for me. Please do read on to learn about my new beauty bag must have.

This is the best foundation I have ever tried! Thank you to Doll 10 for the best formula and for great beauty tools to apply it with! My new beauty bag is amazing! 

According to Doll 10 HydraBalm Serum Infused Foundation is "an innovative formula swirls together a medium coverage, buildable foundation with a potent anti-aging serum, so you get the best of both worlds. The serum combines powerful anti-aging ingredients such as copper tri-peptides, collagen, and retinol with ingredients such as silk, ceramides, chia seed extract and licorice extract, which help make the appearance of skin look brighter and smoother. Combined, you get seamless, hydrating coverage that works hard to improve the look of your skin all-day long."  This formula to be is everything. It glides on with the No. 3 Doll 10 brush and it goes with you on the go with the convenient applicator sponge included. The fact that it comes in a compact form also makes it amazing because you can take it without fear spilling in your makeup bag which I highly suggest the Doll 10 Essentials Travel Case (it fits all of my Doll 10 makeup and Doll 10 brushes). I may have just gone slightly off topic with the Beauty Bag from Doll 10 but hey my blog is called what's inside your beauty bag and when I get one love like this one I cant help but to sing its praises.  The HydraBalm Serum Infused Foundation is truly full coverage I mean my acne and acne scars were completely covered and I didn't even need additional concealer for my under eye dark circles. The formula glided on more like skincare I mean it felt like I was applying a serum and not a foundation. The foundation never settled into fine lines and didn't wear off either. I had this on everyday for hours I mean at least 16 hours a day I mean it from 5AM to 9PM and I never had to reapply. I recommend this for everyday use as well as for any special occasion which mean wedding season is upon us and you can wear this if your the bride or in the bridal party. It makes a great gift because you are giving some one skincare infused foundation. I love it and it along with the case and brushes all get a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
