Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder Review

I recently purchased the Careblend powder last month and I was asked to do a review of it from one of my beautiful blog supporters, here are my thoughts on the powder.





Product Claims


"Formulated to provide a smooth, virtually invisible, fresh-looking finish, this soft, cream-like powder is carefully blended to provide the skin with extra care, nourishment and comfort."

Pros


-Provides a natural, matte finish.
-Available to purchase in 8 shades.
-Great for on the go makeup touch ups.
-Long wearing & non-cakey.


Possible Con


-The price retails for $23, if you're a Mac pro member the price is $13.80.


My Thoughts


I adore this powder! I ran out of my Mac Studio Fix powder and a friend suggested I try this, I love it. It provides a beautiful, flawless finish. It's a powder but the finish and coverage performs like a foundation! There are plenty of days when I just wear the powder on my face with no concealer and foundation and I get a great coverage. I  really like that it's non-cakey and I don't get an ashy finish like a lot of powders but a skin finish.




How it looks?

i like this alot more than my skinfinish natural *gasps* i never thought it could be possible, but it's a bit heavier coverage and absorbs the oil better to me...(it's doesn't completely hold it at bay, but.. it's a great powder) as i began to run out of it, i've been trying ruby kisses mineral powder.

Lol, I felt the same about my Studio Finish... I prefer this powder over any of my powders. Ruby Kisses? I hear so much about them, I need to hit up a beauty supply store and check them out.

How I Refurbished my Louis Vuitton Speedy...

I bought an authentic preloved Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy bag a few months back. While I was so excited to finally get the bag and wear it, I realized (at that time of buying and when I received it) that the bag had some wear on it that could use some fixing up. After searching online, I found a blogger,  Lollipuff , who posted an article on how to refurbish LV bags. Based on the recommendations in the post, I used the following products: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Blue Magic Metal Polish cream (tube) and Cadillac Boot and Shine leather conditioner. I also used laundry detergent and baby wipes. All of the products used can be used on any bag to spruce it up. Read on for the deets, to see how you can spruce up your handbag! Before At first glance, the bag had some sheen on the exterior. Most of the brass fixtures had green tarnishing (which happens with aging of brass). The leather handles were dull. The bag had lost some of its shape. The inside was the kicker! The red interi

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face.

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig
