Pressed Powders -MAC - Blot Powder

This product literally sucks the oil right out of your face instantly! After washing my face, applying moisturizer and then blot powder immediately after...my face felt soooo tight and dry..especially around the nose and mout area, too drying for me. I rarely use powder/foundation...I use a tinted moisturizer most day. A little goes a long way...if you have OILY skin, this product is a must have....consider it OIL BE GONE LOL.

Foundations -Shiseido - Sheer Matifying Compact

Loves it:) I'm more of a natural gal, hence I do not like the caked up overly made makeup look...heavy foundation is a def no no. With that being said...this compact leaves my skin flawless and protected, it has SP15. Covers minor imperfections...conceals pores...it looks like my skin but better. I have olive tone, combination skin..my shade is 060. I can imagine it not being a good choice if you have really oil skin. But if your skin is Combination or Dry.....you will love it.

Styling Products -Carol's Daughter - Hair Milk
aadean 3/31/2010 10:42:00 AM
Completely satisifed. Love this line of products. The hair milk does wonders for my hair. I also purchased the Tui Conditioner/Shampoo. I've used these product for only about a month and can see a major difference in my hair. As far as the hair milk goes you only need to use a small amount. I have mid-back length full wavy/curly hair, never permed/relaxed only color treated, and I only use maybe a quarter size amount for entire head...the key is too not over do it. Consumer for life! <3 <3 EDIT: Long term use is NOT good. Completely dried my hair out. Will not be purchasing again.

Liquid -Maybelline - Dream Liquid Mousse

Wow, I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before I purchase because I absolutely love it. I usually don't wear powder/foundation (let alone department store brands) because I prefer a more natural look. This however, evens skintone, conceals minor imperfections/dark circles, and looks very natural. My shade is sandbeige, blends perfect with my olive toned, combination skin. I may have to apply blot powder during the summer months to prevent oil/sweat. Otherwise, no complaints here. EDIT: Although...I'm still a fan of this product, I recently tried Shisedo Advanced Hydro-Liquid compact shade 060 and LOOOOOOVE IT. Definitely HG. Looks soo much more natural....conceals my pores even...and minor flaws. It already has SP15 which is good. I find applying with my finger is better...that stupid sponge sucks and absorbs too much of the product.
