I have to admit, the state of 2020 has meant that even though I've still been getting up and going to work this entire time, I've more often than not been skipping makeup in a way that I haven't in years.  Because of that, getting out this review has taken a little bit longer than I intended. That said, when I've been reaching for foundation and concealer recently (admittedly, the latter more than the former) the Avon Cashmere Complexion Foundation & Concealer* have been the ones I've been using, so I've definitely given a solid test.

It's been a while since I've done a foundation review here on the blog, so it's definitely time to remedy that. Foundation is such a subjective thing, really, and with so many options at the drugstore I know that I personally heavily rely on the content of reviews to inform what I really want to try. I've also been finding that this season change (along with some seriously high stress levels) has been really effecting my skin and some of the foundations that I had been loving just aren't getting it done anymore. For the past couple of months I've been trying out the Revlon Photoready Candid Foundation & Concealer* and I'm super excited to share my thoughts on them with you guys!

When it comes to new products in the drugstore that I generally want to try all of, I'd say that concealer tops that list. Concealer is a must for me and I'm always on the lookout for a formula that's going to give me the coverage and finish that I personally want at a really affordable price. So, of course, with the release of the e.l.f. 16Hr Camo Concealer amid a lot of excitement and fanfare, I was dying to get my hands on it. Colour me surprised when I actually found it on the shelf at my local Walmart. As Canadians, I think we're all pretty used to getting new e.l.f. products long after they launch, so it was nice to see this particular launch locally available to us. In this review, I want to touch on a really peculiar thing about this concealer that I haven't personally seen in any of the reviews I've taken in, so I highly commending reading to the end.

Something that tends to happen to us Canadian beauty junkies is that something will become the height of excitement and obsession in the beauty community, where literally everyone seems to be talking about it, and it's not easily available here in Canada. Because shipping here internationally tends to be quite expensive, I find that I'm rarely willing to order products online from outside the country so I tend to just try to convince myself that I don't want the thing that everyone is going crazy for... Anyone else do this? Anyway, the Revolution Beauty Conceal & Define Concealer definitely felt like one of those such products, with everyone talking about it everywhere I looked and even hailing it as a dupe for the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer (not easily available in Canada either), so when I saw it on the shelf at my local London Drugs, I snatched it up immediately and got to testing it out to see if it was as good as everyone claimed.

I feel like the number of new foundation releases in the drugstore recently has been sort of epic - so I've had to really think about what I'm going to try out. That being said, as soon as I saw these two new complexion releases from essence - the Fresh & Fit Awake Makeup and the Camoflage Full Coverage Concealer - there was no chance that I wasn't going to be trying them out. I'm always curious about trying products from the more affordable drugstore brands like essence, particularly products like foundation that are starting to run fairly spendy even in the drugstore.

So, how did they measure up? Keep reading for more!

I have to admit, I have a thing for concealer. I feel like a million new foundations come out at the drugstore every year and I try a couple of them, but whenever a new concealer is released at the drugstore I absolutely have to try it. So, of course, when I heard good things about the Milani Retouch + Erase Light Lifting Concealer it went directly onto the shopping list. Now that the Milani displays are getting a little bigger here in Canada, I was able to get my hands on it and I'm excited to review it for you guys!
