MAC Prolongwear Concealer

Okay so about 10 months ago I went into MAC Chadstone asking for a new concealer. I had never known of my colour at MAC before that would be a perfect match. She handed me a pink toned NW35 and said it would be perfect so I trusted her judgement.
Never again. I used some of it until my tan faded off and I turned back to my natural colour, realizing that this shade and tone was just completely off. 
I got re matched in another foundation to be a yellow based NC25/NC30. 
I honestly don't even know how someone experienced could get that wrong but whatever.
The second photo above is the shade I'm using now. I bought NC20 to brighten up under my eyes etc, and it works amazingly!!!
It's crease proof and long lasting :) I think it was about $36 :) 

I have the Prolongwear foundation aswell but I am definitely not a fan. 

Do your self a favour and never buy this.

I would rather die than use this again. 
The Le Tan Jet Dry 'instant bronze', turned me from my normal yellow/olive toned skin colour into an actual carrot. 
I sprayed the tan over my body and then buffed it in with a tanning mit, however if I didn't use the tanning mit it probably would have turned out super streaky. 
But the colour was just soo off and left stains on my clothes. 
After being 5 days now, it's turned extremely patchy and it's also been an absolute bitch to try and scrub off.



MAC Strobe Cream

This product is honestly so great! It lights up your face and gives your skin a fresh and healthy glow! I use it before my primer, as a primer if I'm in a rush or just on it's own if I can't be bothered with doing my makeup. 
It has a thick consistency but applys really smoothly and doesn't leave a sticky residue. It's also super hydrating! 
I bought a small size (30ml) for $15 from the MAC Pro store to try out before I committed to a 100ml
 $60(I think it is) one. But I think I will definitely be spending the money to get that. Saying that, this small tube has lasted me about 3-4 months, I use aboit the size of a 5 cent peice or less a day.
