Haul - MILANI & MAC

Hi long time no see but sorry I was swamped with work & hauls =) keep in touch cause I have a lot to feature this week , here is the pic ( sorry for the low quality but I'm searching the market for the best camera out there so be patient)

From right to left :

1- MILANI Minerals Blush Luminous # 201 in Luminous ------> This is slowly replacing my beloved Benefit Coralista !! it's so soft & smooth , the gold shimmer are tiny and fine, this is a must have in your collection & it is LONG LASTING even on my oily skin.

2- MAC Pearlglide Intense Eyeliners in "ِAlmost Noir" and "Designer Purple" ------> I just tried Almost Noir that day & I love it ! it goes extremely well with Trax eyeshadow from MAC. need some time to figure out what they are all about but till now I'm happy with them.

3- MILANI Crystal Eyez #01 Lovely & Luminous ------> didn't try it yet but saw Michelle Phan use it in a YT tutorial & I was hooked =)

4- Olay Complete Touch of Foundation -----> This is basically a daily moisturizer with a touch of MAX Factor foundation, it has SPF 15. I didn't try it yet, I'm waiting for the weather to be extremely hot to test this.

5- Kustie 100% Natural Strawberry Body Scrub -----> smells DIVINE, like strawberry bubble gum, moisturizes and does it's job quit well. I might be wrong but I can swear that this is what Lavender use in their strawberry body scrub.

6- Nail-polish removing pads -----> cheap & effective

7- MILANI Infinite Liquid Eye Liner # 01 ------> didn't try it yet but some makeup gurus on YT swear by them so I'll but them to the test this week, but I have to say I love the color.

This is my last haul, I'll update with links soon. please ask about anything in the comments below.

Haul 24.Apr.2010 - MAC & Revlon Goodies

MAC Prep + Prime SPF 50 = LOVE LOVE LOVE, (this is my 10th ) it has high SPF, controls oil, light weight, absorbs very fast and really makes any makeup you put over it stay there.

MAC 130 brush = used it for the first time today & I have to say it's AMAZING. I used it to apply liquid foundation ( blends like a dream) and to apply eye concealer. Blending eye concealer was never this easy. Soft and sturdy, just wish if they make a bigger version of this because my face is too big for this brush . LOL

MAC Captive lipstick = a pinkish plum satin lipstick , it was a B2M and I didn't try it yet but I cant wait to have it on with date night dazzleglass on top.

Revlon Photo Ready Foundation = Used it for the first time today, I have oily acne prone skin for reference, and I think meh !! over hyped maybe? but I'll need to use it more to know.

That's all, if you have a request for me to review anything please write it in the comment section.

My Favorite MAC Quad

This MAC quad has been getting a lot of <3

Colors are:

1- Woodwinked, upper left corner, it's a warm antique gold(Veluxe Pearl), this color is smooth, pigmented, & a dream to blend. but beware, this color can turn orangy on some people, guess it oxidizes or something,so I recommend you have a good base under it.

2- Satin Taupe, upper right corner, it's a taupe with silver shimmer(Frost), I do think that if you ever visit a MAC counter, you should check this color first. yes it's a cult favorite, & some may think it's way over hyped,but I believe it's a beautiful silver brown with a plum undertone that can be extremely flattering on many skin tones & eye colors, that's if you don't mind it being frosty. ( Just swatch it)

3- Sketch, lower left corner, its a burgundy with red shimmer(Velvet), this maybe one of my top three favorite MAC eyeshadows. not the smoothest if I may say but it's bendable,really pigmented, looks amazing on my skin tone, and very versatile. I use it as a lid color (alone or under shimmery colors), I use it to deepen the crease, to smudge eyeliner, and as a liner by itself.

4- Nylon, lower right corner, its a pale gold with icy shimmer (Frost), this is my favorite highlighter ( you can see that I hit pan already). be careful this has an obvious yellow gold tone & it's clearly FROSTY. I also love it as an inner corner highlighter & I heard some people use it as a cheek highlighter as well.

That's it =) I would love to hear if you have a favorite MAC quad. <3
