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.

Color Studio Professional Powder Brush

Brushes (tools) matter. They do. Found out through personal experience. Good news is, they don't necessarily have to be expensive to deliver on performance. Having said that, I am always on the lookout for a nice brush. You can pretty much imagine my excitement when my sister pointed out this sweet innocent looking stall at the mall the other day. She told me their brushes were well known, not expensive and very good quality. I was a little skeptic, and went up for closer inspection. As it dawned on me my sister was right, I turned around and gave her an accusatory look as if to say, "And you are telling me this just now... what is wrong with you girl?" There was a display on a vertical rack with all types of makeup brushes and nail art tools. Since I was already hunting for a good big powder brush, I picked up the one on display. The brand name is Color Studio Professional and is easily available here in Pakistan.

The Makeup Color Series: Bright Whites

White is such an unassuming color. I suppose its the mathematical equivalent of zero...literally having no value, yet without it, the whole world would crumble away...

Though in "The Makeup Color Series" I'll be going through some products I think are awesome in that color range, I'm starting out by the most overlooked and underrated color...white.

These are from my stash, but loads of brands do all the items and they are easily available. So moving on...

MAC Face and Body Foundation and MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural

So the dry weather is upon us…for oily girls, scratch that, oily skinned girls, this might be a blessing in disguise but for the ones with dry skin or even normal skin, it can bring on flakiness, patches, redness, roughness and so on and so forth. While we do what we can with moisturizers, facial oils, serums and the like, what many people so not know is that it really makes a difference if the type of makeup you’re wearing is adjusted to the changing weather.  Which brings me to these two products which, for normal/ normal to dry skin, are just amazing. A shout out to those gals who have issues with coverage because if you are looking for high coverage to hide that acne, or scarring or prominent discoloration or if MAC products simple break you out then these (or at least one of these) will not be for you.

MAC foundation in N3, powder in Medium+

Price: Both available for about 150 Dhs mark.

Packaging: The foundation has a nozzle and the bottle is slightly squeezable plastic. There is a little cap that twists over the nozzle. There are 2 sizes but I have the smaller one with your regular fluid ounce. The powder is standard MAC packaging. Only thing is it doesn't have is a mirror or a spongy applicator thing that many powders come with. I like that it clicks with a certainty that it won’t open in your bag.
