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.

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

  Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years.     It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me.  The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

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...
