MAC HAUL!

Got some new MAC goodies!!!

Mocha blush (matte): a build-able, soft mauve-y berry color, goes on smooth & you can apply more to get a stronger color.

Cranberry Eyeshadow (frost): a GORGEOUS raspberry-auburn-coppery (so badly wanna say cranberry color!) shadow. Goes on like butter! Gives shimmer to eyes!!

Hue (glaze): A pale nude pink color, LOVE! Just enough pink added so it doesn't look cakey or chalky on your lips! Glides on smooth and gives shine!

Blankety (amplified creme): Beige warmer toned nude pink color. Similar to Hue but a deeper tone, less pinky more beige. I love the smoothness and it doesn't dry out on lips. Stays great by it's self.

Pressed Blot Powder (medium): I used this today instead of my trusty blot papers! I did like it, it sort of refreshes your makeup. Although I would suggest not to really get it on your blush cause it will lighten it a bit I found. But i did like it, it did the job!

MOST USED DAILY

Get to know my most used daily products of the moment!

PREP & PRIME

EOS balm: Preps lips before applying lipstick or gloss. Hydrates lips tremendously! Tons of different scents! My go to.
Lush Sweet Lips lip scrub: Scrubs off dead skin from lips without having to even use water. Fast & easy. Tastes sweet too, sales woman told me you can lick the excess off! (All natural)
MAC Oil Control Lotion: Amazing oil absorbing lotion. Keeps face matte all day.
Too Faced Primed and Poreless Pure Primer: Silicon based oil free primer. Keeps face smooth and poreless all day. Face only needs a small size of product, don't over do it.
Tarte Clean Slate Poreless 12 hr Perfecting Primer: Newer to my routine. I like how it makes your face almost look porcelain! Fills in lines, and minimizes pores for 12hrs! Legit. Get so many compliments when I use this!
FOUNDATION

Revlon Colorstay Whipped in Warm Golden 320: My go to foundation. Feels like nothing on your skin. Product lasts forever because you only need a few dots on your face, blends thoroughly throughout face. I apply with fingers, I find it fast and easy. Full coverage, lasts ALL day, keeps skin looking fresh ALL day!

L'Oreal True Match in Light: Fantastic, gives pretty light undereye and covers any blemishes very well! Very smooth & liquidish-cream consistency. Applicator is like a little brush.
NYX HD Photogenic in Light: Just that, HD! Smiliar to L'Oreal True Match. This wand (applicator) is similar to a lip gloss wand gives more control on how much you use.
BRONZER

NYX Matte in Medium: My favorite. Smooth application, never too heavy, orange or streaky. I can pack it on a brush and it blends to beautifully on my skin.
Too Faced Chocolate: Smells amazing. Little darker than NYX Matte Medium, I alternate, they are very similar to each other!

My New LOVE

Quick review on this MAC Oil Control Lotion :) LOVE THIS! This has been working for my skin greatly! I got this maybe 2 weeks ago and it has been hard to not use something else! I love that it is a lotion (I usually go for a silicon-like primer.)

You only need about a dime size to cover your whole face and keep it matte all day long! It goes on as any lotion would and isn't increbily wet or slick. It drys quiet fast and then you can apply your foundation.

It has worked for my in my problem areas like my T zone. I found that this has worked better for me than my Too Faced Primed & Poreless which I have been using for months!

This comes in two sizes from MAC. I bought the small one which was $15 and the larger is $31 which is reasonable for the time the product lasts since you don't use globs of it! Go try it for yourself!

MODEL IN A BOTTLE!

Pretty easy directions! Love the feel on your face. Everything feels secure and oil free :) which makes me happy!!

How it came and you pop on the sprayer.

LOVE the packaging! It is SO fancy! Looks great on your dresser. I am a huge fan of Skindinavia setting spray but this one truly blew me away! My makeup stayed for hourssss! I work long days & I want to look flawless throughout the day working in the beauty industry.

Me after an 8hr day at work! Go try this stuff!!
