I personally love the Black eyeliner and Bollywood Blush!  I apply the Black eyeliner wet for a natural everyday look.  It seriously stays put all day! As for the Bollywood Blush, it reminds me of Everyday Minerals’ Apple Blush!

Looking for a new Spring blush? Look no further…You MUST check out Milani Minerals Blush in Mai Tai.  I was sent Milani Minerals Blush in Mai Tai for review and am impressed!

Mai Tai can be described as a matte coral hue. Honestly, I was hesitant to check this blush out because matte blushes it tends to look to harsh on my skin.  However, this is not the case with Mai Tai.  It definitely complements my NC37 skin.  Seriously, after two swipes of Mai Tai, it gives me an afterglow flush just as if I had the drink!  What I love about Mai Tai is that it is super pigmented, so you only need a light hand for application.  And for those with sensitive skin, Milani’s Mineral Blushes are talc free!

A super pigmented blush for $6? Now that’s a steal!

The swatch doesn’t do it justice on how bright this shade really is!

Approx. Price: $6

MAC Studio Fix Foundation – Miss (breakouts…yikes!)
MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation – On the fence
MAC Mineralize Foundation Loose – On the fence
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish – Miss (Skinfinish contains bismuth – breakouts central!)
MAC Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation – ??

Priced at $32, MAC Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation is MAC’s most expensive foundation!  But does it deliver?

Let’s see if MAC’s Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation is worth it…
