Eye Makeup of the Day: 05/02/12

Just wanted to post a picture of my eye makeup today.
My eye makeup is almost always neutral
so sorry if it doesn't interest you!




Products Used:
- ELF Eyelid Primer in Sheer
- MAC Paintpot in Rubenesque
- Wet N' Wild Single Shadow in Nutty
- Maybelline Quad in Chai Latte (the crease shade)
- Milani Liquif'eye Eyeliner in Black
- Covergirl Lashblast Fusion Mascara in Very Black

Review: MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

Alright this is my second review but on a high end product this time.
It is on the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, which is supposedly a:
"A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day"
For reference..
I believe I am a NC37 - NC40  and I use Medium Dark for this powder.

Pros: 
- finely milled
- soft and smooth texture
- evens out skin
- gives light coverage
- matte finish
- great packaging
- variety of colors for different
skin tones
- good for setting foundation, concealer, etc.
- flawless finish if used right 
- lasts a long time (I've had this for a little over six months and I FINALLY hit pan)

Cons:
- doesn't last all day (gets oily after a couple of hours)
- it's PRICEY! ($29 on the MAC website but I got it off of Ebay for $19)
- has tiny, fine shimmers in it.. but it doesn't show up when applied to the skin
- cracks easily in the center if too much pressure is applied so be careful.
- the dome disappears/flattens after some use...(if that's considered bad lol)



Here are some pictures!

Below it is blended out which you can't see because that's
how fine the powder is. :)

Hey there!

Hey everyone! I decided to undelete this beauty blog and start over again with good picture quality since I have a better camera now. Anyways for this blog I'm going to be just posting things that you would on any other beauty blog or Youtube beauty guru channel. I'm going to post OTD's, Reviews, Favorites, FOD's, Hauls and much more. I'll probably even take requests in the future. However for now I'm just posting whatever I currently have until I get the hang out this. I've been wanting to make Youtube videos for beauty but I decided that I should probably start smaller until I get more used to the idea of it. So until then pictures and a beauty blog would do great for now.  Small to big is my plan. Thank you for visiting my blog. I'll be posting many more later on :)
