Dis or Dat: MAC MSF Natural vs MAC Studio Fix

Hey everyone,
So last Christmas I decided to purchase MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural (MSF natural) as a powder foundation, as of right now I hit pan and barely have any left. Therefore, I was in search of a new powder foundation. I heard about MAC Studio Fix Powder so I started researching online and watching reviews on youtube but could not find a comparison video of MAC MSF natural and MAC Studio Fix. I decided to pick up the Studio Fix and give it a try for myself. Since there havent been many comparisons I thought I would do my own and aid someone in their search for a powder foundation.

Highlighters

At first when I learned about highlighters, I didn't understand the hype. For those of you who don't know what a highlighter is it is a shimmery shade that you apply on top of your cheekbones and on your cupids bow to add dimension. In addition, it makes your skin look healthy, glowing, and fresh.

I saw MAC skinfinish in superb from the extra dimensions collection and had to purchase it! After purchasing this product i definitely understood the radiance and fresh look using a highlighter can provide. I am definitely a lover for highlighters now!

In the bottom picture you can see the added glow and even a little rosey color that this specific highlighter gives to my cheeks. The nice thing about this highlighter is you can also use this product as a blush/highlighter & eyeshadow! The highlighter aspect gives the skin a healthy glow that makes your face look healthy, young, and beautiful!

A great alternative to MAC skinfinishes are drugstore highlighters and even shimmery eyeshadows.

Whats your favorite highlighter?!

December Favorites

Hey everyone,
I decided to start blogging about my beauty adventures since I am on the newer side of the beauty world. This first entry will discuss my favorite items from December.
1. MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural in Light Plus
2. NYC Sunny Bronzer (even though mine dropped and broke!)
3. Carmex Chapstick (my holy grail lip product)
4. OPI "Design de Better"
5. Orly "Royal Navy"
6. Sigma E40 Brush

These are just some of the products that have been used on a regular basis throughout December and are definitely considered on my favorites list. In addition I recently picked up some items at the Mall and Target in a recent haul that I am excited to tryout. On youtube, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Foundation has been continuously talked about as an item to try; therefore, I decided to give it a shot. I'm hoping this foundation will conquer my complications with liquid foundation. Since I bought a new foundation, I decided to purchase the 3-step skin care line from Clinique since it is a new year and my skin isn't its best. I will most likely document my findings here on the blog about these products so be sure to stay tuned for those!

What are some of your favorite products for the month?
