Catrice Cosmetics All Round Concealer Palette

I've mentioned before how color correcting has become a must for me nowadays when doing a full face of makeup. I definitely skip it on regular days when I have to go to work because really - aint' nobody got time for that. Nonetheless, I still make sure to keep a small stash of correctors on hand for days when I do have time for them.

One of the newest additions to said stash, even if I've had it for over a year already, is the Catrice Cosmetics All Round Concealer Palette. My immediate thought when seeing this was that it would be perfect for traveling since you've got a (small) range of concealers and correctors all in one compact container. Plus, it had the two colors I used most when it comes to correcting - green for redness and orange for my dark circles.

Catrice Cosmetics says, "A whole palette of options to always look great. With this set of five shades, it’s easy to even out small skin irregularities (beige shades), magic away dark shadows under your eyes (pink shades) and cover up redness (green shade). And application is super pleasant thanks to the creamy texture."

City Color CC Color Corrector Sticks

Colored correctors. A lot of people feel they're best saved for special occasions that involve getting all glammed up, or only if you're truly going for that fully made up face. While that depends on the the user, I think including even a couple of correctors into one's everyday (or almost everyday) makeup routine can really impact the overall look. For the better, of course!

I'll admit, I didn't fuss over colored correctors that often before. Rarely, in fact! Oh, trust me. I knew there were areas on my face that desperately needed it, but I figured for my daily routine it wasn't that big of a deal. That is until I started using them myself on a regular basis and now they're a must for my dark, tired-looking eyes and perpetually red cheeks.

I first discovered City Color while I was still living in Tokyo and intrigued by their affordability and quality, I purchased a whole slew of products. Thanks to my already well-established obsession need to find a range of good correctors, I almost instantly grabbed these CC Color Corrector Sticks as soon as I saw them. 

If I'm not mistaken, these are actually quite new to the Japan market and I only saw them on my temporary, return trip last April.
