Loreal True Match Blendable Powder- Worth it?

Hitting pan is one thing, but finishing a makeup product right down to the very end is truly a moment of great victory and pride. Most girls would start thinking about either a repurchase of the same product or an alternative midway between the two.

I am one to always keep trying new products, so after I cleaned out my MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Powder, I broke out the Loreal True Match Super Blendable Powder.

Sorry for the murky bit, the tape left behind sticky residue and the powder just keeps getting on it.

For the review just read on.

Makeup Products I have Fallen out of Love With + 1 Acquisition

It's all about perspective. 3 makeup products that I had intense love for, a couple of which I have also used extensively, now just lie there on my vanity, pretty much idle. Let me reintroduce:

Loreal LA Palette in Rose - A Mini-Review

The Naked Palettes from Urban Decay have set off the revolution of nude eye shadow palettes, but let's face it, they have the tendency to break the bank. Good news is there are great drugstore versions now, like this particular one...

Here is the low down on this palette by a co-author of this blog:

June Favourites

This getting to be a bad pretty habit, procrastination that is. Each time I want to do a favourites post, I end up putting it up way after the 5th.

I finally got around to doing it. This month I have a couple of beauty items apart from just makeup. Some are staples, things that are just classic and that I feel very strongly of never letting go, others are new discoveries.

Let's dive right in:

Loreal Studio Secrets Professional Smoothing Resurfacing Primer

I'm always excited to try out new face products, and face primer has become quite an obsession in the makeup department. Indeed, if used right, and if you can find one right for you, it gives several advantages. This particular one, which I am not going to take the liberty of typing down again (just look at the length of the name of the product), was so hyped up about, and since I was in the market for a good primer, I bought it.

This appealed to me for several reasons: the packaging, the marketing, the product being in cream form. 

So how did it fare, what was my impression...

Loreal 6 Hr Glam Shine Lip Gloss

Lip gloss is just such a feminine thing i think, very girly, very pretty. Some are creamy, some glittery and they all take the years off the maturing woman. It's less harsh than a lipstick and makes lips look fuller and poutier. It's a better alternative to lipstick if your lips are small and thin. And they are just lovely for young girls.

Of course there's the disadvantage that it disappears soon after applying, and you have to constantly touch up. But makeup brands everywhere started bringing out longer lasting formulas...when I heard I thought how could that even be possible. So I just had to try it out.

Eyeliner 101

As with all makeup products out there, the range and variety of a single type is overwhelming. Over the years, the quality has improved and innovation has played a huge part in terms of the choices we have when we go out shopping.

So today I want to go through the basic types of eyeliners out there, what effect each one is meant to give and a mention to some favorite drugstore brands with an honorary mention of one high end product as well if I have one that is.
