Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder Review

Hi guys!
I hope everyone has had a good week! Today I am going to review the Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder. I know there is probably about million reviews on this product already but I couldn't help myself so I'm writing one anyways. I never would've tried this product if Sephora didn't place those cute little stand with all the mini products right by the check out. I honestly can't help myself when it comes to cute mini products! I saw the HD Powder and remembered reading good reviews on it so I figured I'd give it a try. I have 0.17 oz one which was $16. 
My absolute favorite thing about this powder is how it feels on your skin. I know such a weird favorite thing but it honestly makes your skin feel baby smooth and almost pearly (can you face feel pearly? Well mine does!) It has a matte finish but it isn't the type of matte finish that looks cake. It allows your face to look natural. Sometimes I use it all over my face but most of the time I use it in my "T" area. I love for underneath the eyes because it makes sure that my concealer doesn't crease. It also does an amazing job control shine. You have to make sure you blend it in really well because if you don't it can make your skin appear a little white. I use it with Real Techniques Setting Brush and it works amazingly. I use this brush because this container sucks butt. It is too small to fit in a kabuki brush and the one time I tried to use a kabuki brush I got powder everywhere. The setting brush does a great job blending it in and it fits perfectly into the container. 
Overall, I think this is a great high end powder. I have heard of people who have had this little container last up to two years so it is definitely worth the price tag! What's your favorite powder?  Lots of Love, 

July Favorites

Hi Guys! 

Here are my July Favorites. I know they are a bit late but I was at Vidcon the beginning of this month and I didn't have wifi there! Look out for a post about Vidcon really soon. This month I haven't really tried anything new but there were a few products that really stood out to me. I hope you enjoy!

Real Techniques Setting Brush: I got this little magic worker in the beginning of this month. I didn't really need it but for some reason I just really wanted it and I'm so glad I got it. As some of you may know I hate concealer brushes. I think they are too small and never blend my concealer in well. I use to use foundation brushes to blend them in but not anymore! This setting brush is the best thing I have ever used to my concealer. Also I use it for highlighting my cheekbones. I use either with a powder highlighter or to blend in Watt's Up by Benefit. This brush has become part of my everyday brush collection. 

Maybelline Color Show in Pacific Blue: This nail polish has been on my toes all month. I honestly don't think I have used any other color. It is this really bright summer blue. I apply two layers of the nail polish and a top coat and it lasts at least a week on my toes however, when I use it on my nails it chips really quickly which is a bummer. Overall, I think this is a great summer color. I'm going to pick up another bottle really soon because this is limited edition. 

Rimmel Lipstick in Nude Delight: This was in my last months favorite and honestly might be in every favorite to come. Rimmel's Nude Delight is a great everyday nude color. It has a little bit of shimmer but is still natural looking. It lasts a good 5 hours without any need of retouching and I find it really moisturizing. I been layering it with my next favorite, NYX Lipgloss in Nude Pink and the two together make such a pretty everyday combination. 

NYX Mega shine Lipgloss in Nude Pink: I am not a huge lipgloss fan because I don't like my lip being sticky or my hair getting stuck to my lips. However, this gloss is amazing. It isn't sticky and it lasts a good 4 hours without any need of touch up. My absolute favorite thing about it is the smell! It smells like the fruit punch Capri Sun which remind me so much of elementary school. You can smell it when you apply it however, it doesn't stick around so you're not stuck smelling it all day long. I think this is great but i love apply it with a smell but I'd probably get annoyed if the smell stuck around. I love using this on top of Rimmel's Nude Delight. They are actually the perfect pair. 

MAC Eyeshadow in Coppering: Last but not least is my favorite eyeshadow of the month: Coppering by Mac. This is a beautiful orangey copper color with a sheen finish. Just like all Mac shadows, it is super blend able and highly pigmented. A little bit of this color goes a long way. I love wearing it all over the lid and underneath the lower lashes with wood winked in the crease and lots of mascara. It is a great color to make a statement but isn't overpowering. I have used it during the day and at night and I think it looks great and appropriate for both times. Overall, this is definitely making its way up as one of my favorite MAC shadows. 

What have you guys been loving this month? Lots of Love,
