M.A.C. Haul

  So, the mall near my house always had M.A.C. in the Macy's department store. But this spring season, M.A.C. opened up a new branch in the mall. They have everything that I can get from the M.A.C. section from the department store and more! I was actually able to create my own palette! I've been dying to create one! In this haul, I mostly got blushes that I think would be great for an everyday wear and lipsticks with fun colors!

Haul:
Studio Fix pressed powder foundation (C40)
6pan blush palette
Blushes:  
  Sunbasque
  Harmony
  Springsheen
  Gingerly
  Flirt and Tease
  Pinch Me
Lipsticks:
  Craving (Amplified)
  Crosswires (Creamsheen)
  Jubilee (Lustre)

   That's everything I got. I'm gonna purchase the Fix and Perfect setting spray when I can and I'll let all of you know how it went! I really loved my foundation because it evens out my skin tone giving me a full coverage when needed without looking cakey. The blushes are amazing since they last all day long and have great pigmentation. The ones I bought are also great I'm giving me definition on the cheeks. I specifically bought the blush in Harmony as my contour. Many people use the blush Blunt to do the same thing. The lipsticks are so pigmented that I don't need to apply a lot to have the desired effect. They also keep my lips super soft and lasts for a long time! The price is actually on the low end if you compare them to other high end products. But if you compare them to other drugstore makeups then they are quite expensive. In this haul, I realized that I extremely like M.A.C. products and can't wait to buy some more!

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

     I've always loved matte lipsticks and I wanted to try a matte lip cream. NYX offers the Soft Matte Lip Cream and I bought the shades Antwerp and San Paolo. I love these shades! Antwerp is coral with pink, while San Paolo is just pink! A bright pink perfect for spring and summer. I especially love this color on dark skin tones since it just pops!
    The lip creams apply on with a wand like many lip glosses but these have a thicker consistency. It's like a melted lipstick. I highly advise exfoliating your lips and apply chapstick prior to putting on the lip cream because it tends to feather out. But if your lips are in good shape then these babies are amazing! They lasts so long! I mixed both shades onto my lips and wore it to my aunt's wedding last weekend, I ate, drank, celebrated their union and I still had it on! Actually, the bride's makeup artist saw my lips and adored it so he wanted me to apply it on the bride, maid of honor and the mother of the bride! One of the bride's maid was wearing San Paolo too! I do like wearing this with a little bit of lip gloss to the center of my lips to add more dimension. Over all, I would definitely buy this product again! Just make sure your lips are in their tiptop shape!

The Urban Decay De Slick Setting Spray Review!!!!


    Oh my gosh!!!! This is the answer to one of my major problems!!!!!!!! I have super oily skin that after an hour of putting on my makeup, no matter what primer I use or foundation, I have to start blotting my nose and forehead because it is so shiny! I seriously can deep fry some chicken if I just squeeze it out of my sponge, brush or tissue! Urban Decay's De Slick Makeup Setting Spray is the bomb!!!!! After washing my face I apply my toner, moisturizer, primer, I spritz De Slick setting spray on my face two or three times then I put on my makeup. After putting on my makeup I spritz it on again to set it! I love it so much! I received a free sample from Ulta when I bought $50 worth of Urban Decay products and after a week I bought the full size bottle! It feels light weight and doesn't smell bad so it's great! Definitely going to be one of my regulars when I do my makeup!
