I wouldn't say that this is a review, just sharing what product works well for me :)

I have combination skin and I often have bumps after using liquid foundations, so a powder foundation would fit more to my daily routine, when I need not too much coverage.

(+): I like the idea of mineral products because I read that it's good for the skin and since it doesn't cause me bumps/breakouts, i find that this MAC product is worth my penny- the shade suits my skintone and I don't feel that I have powder on my skin when wearing it- which is what I actually feel when I'm using Shiseido's.

(-): The only downside of it is using a brush will cause excess from the sides to fall off, so i use my laniege sponge for application :)

I can't say I swear by MAC products, but I do like them because they're more at least more affordable than Chanel, Laura Mercier or even Shiseido. I know that many of the cosmetic companies charge their foundation and case seperately- whereas MAC charges one price for its foundation- and brushes and sponges each sold seperately ( get them from SASA!)


 

No point feeling angsty and all, I might as well convert my energy to write an entry out to clear all's in me.

My mom has been a darling to get me strawberry shortcakes whenever she passes by any cake shop and i'll always have it. I probably have to ask her not to buy so frequently as the cream gets on, my waistline goes up the scale too. I decided to give some brand new cosmetics to sale and decided that my Lumiere mineral foundation I got not long ago has to go to my mom, who has been eyeing since Day 1 tt I purchase online. Wanted to get a new one for her but Lumiere's spree is pretty rare to find in communities. It's also one of the best & finest loose mineral foundation I've ever ever tried on.
 My boyfriend always reminds me that if my mom needs anything, it's good for me to give it to her, since she has always been giving me the best and nothing less. :) he's really an angel to me too.

I've decided to sell my Laniege Sliding Pact (pressed powder) foundation refill at $6, brand new. It comes in a plastic case that you probably need not have the metal casing, so you can just use it. Laniege is famous for its slide on compact so yeap, i have one myself, it's fine and light I really liked it ( it's the only pressed powder i use besides shiseido which is for full coverage)
My best friend has yet to decide so it will go on sale if she doesnt. It's really cheap and selling cos i have spare

Besides all these, I still have my MAC Mineralised skin finish natural, my sliding pact, shiseido, bb cream ( i only use coorgi) and my MAC select liq foundation. As of now, I didnt even see a "hole" in any of the foundation "pits", even my blushers too.

I am a practical user of cosmetics, normally i dont use foundation unless for weekends/dates/dresses. I'm a concealer girl when it comes to school. I only have 3 blushers- 1 MAC mineralised in Gentle, blusher in peaches and Shu Uemura from my girls for my 21st.

As for eyeshadows, i only have one marjolica plalette and the rest of the MAC/estee's come from my mommy if i have to use. I hardly or ever use them.

I only have one lippie which is my fave MAC Angel, and am going to buy speed dial and the nude tone. I also have only one pathetic lustreglass lipgloss from MAC flusterose.

Eyeliners come from Shiseido and MAC and pearlwhite from Marjolica, eyelash curler from Shu and Mascara from MAC ( i want lancome's!)

Okay, those I WANTS should be in Wishlist when I update and I conclude from my list.
I own more foundations than I actually use.

Gee. Steady. I guess I will have more of these when I go out to work. I am a MAC permanent line lover.
