Blush -MAC - Mineral Skinfinish-Sunny By Nature
bvan117 9/10/2009 7:22:00 PM
This is a great MSF. By far, one of my favorites for sure!! This color is described as rich bronze with pink pearl. The color is perfect for any skin tone! It has such a velvet soft texture that gives you a high frost metallic finish, which would just give your face the perfect ending touch that it may need. It is perfect for those who don't like a lot of shimmer in their bronzers. From the look of it, it has some shimmer in it, but once applied it is not overdone by any means. This gives you such a natural glow, hence the name ;) It is long-lasting for that sunny day when you just can't touch up. Definitely a must have!! I would absolutely go buy this again if need be!! I actually will probably go buy a back up!

Powders -MAC - Warm Blend

I love this MSF. This is probably my favorite! This is so pretty. It is a little bit on the shimmery side, but worth it. The color shows up so well on my skin tone (NC40). I think this would look great on every skin tone as a bronzer. Def a must try! I would absolutely buy this again if I had to!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Violet Trance
bvan117 9/10/2009 7:09:00 PM
This color is so beautiful in the pan, however the color pay off is horrible. It takes a lot of packing on to get the color that is actually in the pan. If you do pack it on, it still is not that same color that is shown. It is still a little bit ummm I wanna say 'duller'. And if you do want to use it without packing it on to get maybe a lighter version of the color, it's not worth it. The color is still not that great. HUGE disappointment. I really wanted the color to be the color that is actually in the pan. It is very hard to blend this as well, it doesn't seem to move. When you do try to blend it, the color just basically comes off. And I am in love with MAC eye shadows, but this one is terrible, one of their worst ones yet. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this. The texture is nice, but once again the color pay off sucks.

Eye Primer -MAC - Prep + Prime Eye
bvan117 9/9/2009 4:47:00 PM
I hate this product. A Horrible base. Creases and really does not grab the eyeshadow at all. I am just using it now all over up to my brow bone, then putting a paint pot just on my lid. Waste of money!! Do not buy.

Misc Beauty Tools -MAC - Foundation Pump
bvan117 9/9/2009 4:45:00 PM
I love this tool. Makes life so much easier. First I had the mineral satinfinish in liquid foundation form and I loved the pump on that. So I had to buy one for my studio fix. This works like a dream. I usually only have to pump it once and the right amount of product comes out. Only one pump is all I need. I know with some foundation pumps that are stock on the foundation, some pump out too much and then some pump out too little. The ones that pump out too little suck. Because u have to do a second pump and most of the time I cannot do a partial pump, so more comes out than I need. Usually wayyyy more than I need. But I def recommend this if you have studio fix!

Blush -MAC - Blushcreme - Lilicent ] [DISCONTINUED]
bvan117 9/9/2009 4:42:00 PM
This was my first blush creme ever! I loved it! The product stays on all day! This color looks fantastic on my skin. The only downside I have to this product is that it is kinda sticky. When I do first apply this, I have to be careful cause my hair will fall on my cheek and it will kinda stick for a second. But the color is very buildable. I abs love it! I would def buy this again!!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Beautiful Iris (Veluxe Pearl)
bvan117 9/9/2009 4:39:00 PM
This is one of my favorite purples from MAC. It is a very light pale purple. I agree that you have to pack on the color. But I think the color is beautiful. This is a great color for all over the lid, then adding sketch or shadowy lady to crease or outer V. Look is absolutely beautiful!! Def a must try. I think it would look great on every skin tone.

Liquid -MAC - Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation
bvan117 9/9/2009 4:28:00 PM
I am actually very shocked at the percentage of this product. I abs love this product. This product is great for those with dry skin. If you have oily skin, you should probably find another foundation. But even the MA at MAC told me that this foundation is going to be better with those who have dry skin. I mean you can use it even if you have oily skin, because I do. However, I do not put a lot of by any means. I do not put on as much as I would if it were my normal foundation. But I love the coverage of this foundation, I love how it is a thick texture, I just overall love this. Highly recommend with those who have dry skin and need a little more coverage.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Parrot [DISCONTINUED]
bvan117 9/9/2009 4:22:00 PM
This is a beautiful teal color. I love using this with aquavert. Having aquavery on the inner third and parrot on the outer two thirds, then add carbon or black tied to your outer V. This creates a gorgeous dramatic eye that is perfect for a night around the town! It is great. It really makes my brown eyes pop.

Blush -MAC - Fad-Dabulous
bvan117 9/9/2009 1:25:00 PM
This is one of my favorite blushes by MAC. This color goes great on my skin tone (nc40). However, if you do not have more of a yellow skin tone, then I think this blush will look funny on you. Even if you have fair skin, it may look like a little too much, if applied wrong. I love it tho. It is great. I would def buy this again and I highly recommend with people who have my skin tone.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Electro Flash - Sea & Sky
bvan117 9/9/2009 12:58:00 PM
I absolutely love this duo. The colors in this duo I believe look great on every skin tone, depending how one applies it. The darker blue color is so gorgeous. It is so vibrant and rich in color. While the lighter blue is just as beautiful. I have a problem with lighter blues looking to tacky on my eyes. However, this lighter blue isn't too light that it over takes my eyes and isn't too dark that it takes away from the darker blue. This is a great combo in colors. Both the colors play off each other very well. I would def buy this again!!
