Maybelline Fit Me Concealer.

I had planned to do a big makeup shop on Friday, hoping that I’d be able to share all the stuff that I got, BUT unfortunately, I only ended up buying one thing. While I know I could write at least two thousand words on this topic, I’m only going to say that it is beyond disheartening going makeup shopping and finding that brands/products do not have your shade or that products just don’t exist to suit your skin. One of the reasons why I wanted to start this blog was because I was sick and tired of feeling excluded and not catered to. I wanted to create a space where my skin tone was considered and where girls who look like me can feel like they belong in this beauty-obsessed world. But anyway, I won’t bore you with all that stuff today. So, like I was saying, my shopping trip didn’t go as planned, but at least I was able to pick up one piece of makeup that I can’t wait to try: Maybelline’s Fit Me Concealer in 35.

The label on the shelf said that this shade was suitable for medium to dark skin, and as I’m typing this now, I can see that the colour is actually more of a light brown caramel colour. Obviously I won’t know for sure until I use it on my face, but I’m holding out hope.

When I do open it/use it for the first time, I will definitely document it to see how well it works and then fingers crossed the dark circles under my eyes can finally vanish.

Even though my Friday shopping plans were a bit of a bust, I found the products I was looking for (in the shade I was looking for) online, so I’ll be ordering those and sharing them with you at a later time.

ps. Just so you know, you’ll probably be hearing me ranting about a lack of colour diversity in beauty products every now and again (or at least every time I go makeup shopping) because it does personally affect me, and honestly makes me feel a little shit sometimes.
