NYX lavender concealer

Hey guys! Been really busy the the couple of weeks looking after my sister who has just had an operation, our parents are on holiday and we have two dogs so I haven't had a moment to blog! Luckily for me this morning I received this in the post! 
I've been looking for a light concealer that don't look orange for a while, when I came across this I was so excited to try it!
The next photos are of my skin before applying and then the areas I like to apply concealer due to redness and spots 
And then blended with a beauty blender 
This looks like quite a lot but I like to use it as a highlighter base, and I'm only using BB cream at the moment instead of foundation due to it being summer and I don't like having a heavy feeling in my skin in the heat. The lavender tones in the  products is for 'sallow skin' which means yellow tones, but I find it helps with red patchyness in my skin due to it being so pale. The converge is a good even coverage, not patch or translusent (deleting the purpose really of a concealer when it's thin) so far I am feeling good about the products, I do realis that it is very light before I put the rest of my make up on but this works to an advantage. After this I continue the rest of my make up with these products (just quick simple make up as in not going out today) 
So I have my BB cream in light/medium, pro base translucent power by MUA, bronzer my Rimmel, blush by MAC but I can't remember what shade sorry, highlighter in golden by Makeup Revolution, Anastasia Beverlyhills dipbrow  pomade in medium brown, maybeline colour 24 in Taupe, L'Oreal volume million lashes mascara, urban decay 24hr pencil in Stag, Mac lipstick in Faux and a Rimmel eye pencil in dark brown to line my lips and this is the outcome!
Please ignore my eyebrows as they has due a thread ! But in quite happy with this concealer, considering I only have BB cream (basically a tinted moisturiser so diary thin) on top and a translucency powder it has a good converge and you can't see I clearly have concealer in which my last ones did look like when I put them on. I think I will buy the green version on the concealer as that one is spacificly for redness, both however are supposedly very good to lighten your other concealer if you have bought it in a shade to dark!
