Pressed Powders -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish Natural - Deep Dark

I have oily skin that is almost impossible to avoid, I HAVE to blot my skin with blotting paper as the hours go by. With that having said, I hate the "powdery matte" look. It's not my cup of tea at all. The finish I favour is semi-matte which is not shiny/greasy yet my face has a slight sheen to it so it looks natural & subtly glowy hence my skin looks like skin yet flawless. No powder that I have tried has given me this finish & mind you I have tried Mac's blotting powder, Clinique's superbalanced powder foundation, loose powders of many brands. The mac mineralize skin finish natural is the only powder that gives me the finish I favour & the mac counter I went to ran out of deep dark so the lady tried dark on me instead & it looked fabulous on my skin. I use it over my Clinique's anti blemish foundation in fresh golden (07). Anyway, I definitely recommend this if your taste of finish is like me :)

Makeup Brushes -Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman - Stippling Brush

airbrush flawless finish is what you get using this brush, prior to getting this frm Priceline for $19, I had a regular stippling brush which doesn't get the job done like this one. The regular stippling brush was to big hence I had no control & precision as to where I apply my liquid foundation. The real techniques one has the perfect size for my face. It's so soft & doesn't shed. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT :)

I use this everyday, no matter how much I try to stray away frm it..I always find myself coming back to this foundation..I absolutely love it bt sadly it's a discontinued product..you can only get them online now & if you live in Australia..Gloss Accessories sell them for like $8.95 which is where I get mine from =) Pros : oil-free, doesn't clog pores, 16 hour wear (long lasting), has an spf of 12 and gives flawless coverage .. <3 Cons : the quantity is a standard amount of 30 mL/1 fl.oz bt mine feels like it runs out real quick :(
