MAC BB Cream Review

It was about time!  You may ask yourself, about time for what?  Well, MAC's new BB Cream and compact now available in deeper skin tone shades.

I truly was so excited when these new products launched.  I can go on and on and rave about how amazing this product is, looks and feels.

The squeeze tube formula is good for all skin types and is ideal for combination and oily skin.  This is the formula I like to use only because I have combination skin and I get very oily through out my T zone on a busy day.  It gives more of a demi matte finish.  It goes on beautifully and the coverage is unbelievable, yet still leaving your skin feeling light weight and not heavy.

The compact formula is also good for all skin types and is ideal for dry skin.  This formula has a moisturizing feel and more of a dewy finish.  The coverage is also incredible and it's convenience of application and portability is definitely worth the try.

I recomend applying this fabulous foundation with the MAC's duo fibre 159 brush.  This brush is my newest fav.  You can do all your face with this brush.  Foundation, Powder, bronzer, and blush.  Now that is worth every penny!

The bennefits of this BB cream is that it provides a built in primer. That is what is going to help minimze any texture on your skin like fine lines and pores.  It offers a 35 SPF that will help prevent any unwanted skin damage, age spots and sun spots.  It will also provide the necessary moisture your skin needs making your skin feel great, light weight with out the heaviness of an actual foundation.  You can also wear it under your foundation providing your foundation a long day wear and additional coverage.

The shade I use is Medium Dark.  I love both formulas and I think every woman needs to try this product because it truly is amazing.  It's a great foundation to have when you want your skin to breath a little bit, but at the same time want some coverage.

I will definitely have to post a picture of me just with the BB cream on and if I'm brave enough I'll do a before and after lol! ;)

I give this product a major A+

If you've tried this product let me know what you think and if you want to try it let me know! I'd love to hear from you!

Makeup Must Have: MAC Prolongwear Paint Pots

Aghh I feel like I haven't done a makeup post in forever!  I wanted to share with you something so important when applying your makeup.  

You have no idea how many clients I get who do not use a cream base primer for eyeshadow.  This is seriously a must have for any woman who wants their eyeshadow looking smooth, vibrant, prevent creasing and is  long wearing.

I have very oily eye lids and I've tried all kinds of creamy primers to put under my eye shadows but the darn eye shadows were still creasing by the end of the day. :( 

I finally discovered MAC's paint pots.  OMG, life changing I must say.  I never have to worry about my eye shadows creasing or coming off.  They have a 15 hr wear and color pay off is more intense and vibrant when using one of these paint pots.  They come in a variety of fun shades but my favorite one is Soft Ochre.

I love it so much because it's a neutral color.  I can combine it with any eyeshadow, I can wear it by itself and it evens out my eyelid skin tone, and it creates a beautiful smooth canvas for my eye shadows to go on.

Ladies if you wear eye shadows these paint pots are a must!  You'll love the difference it makes!
