Make up review, 10 Palette from Benefit.

Girls, you must be wondering what a weird name. What exactly is it? I was wondering the same thing. 10 is a duo delectable pink and bronze powders. Now comes in a palette together with a eye shadow, highlighter, and 2 lipstick shade.

It’s a good all in one palette on the go. Currently it’s my regular make up palette. It has all the natural color for your eyes, cheeks and lips.

This Benefit powder duo bronzes & highlights in one sexy sweep to give you sleek, sculpted cheekbones. We’ve chosen two seductive shades for lips & complimentary shades for your eyes. We like to call it “sexy to the max.” Limited edition.

Bronze and highlight in one sexy sweep for a supermodel glow. This satiny pink and bronze powders give you sleek, sculpted cheekbones. Simply sweep (don’t swirl!) your brush over the dual powder and apply to cheekbones – highlighter on top, bronzer on bottom and…Voila, you’re a perfect 10! Apply to cheekbones, décolleté, anywhere! We won’t tell!

I enjoy the bronze eye shadow and the lipstick. Very natural and it comes with a mini brush as u can see. You don’t have to worry what matches what cause it’s already set for you. It’s so easy and you can bring it anywhere with you in one palette.

One more thing with Benefit products at the back of the product always shows a diagram and comes with a instruction manual and a tip on how to apply the product.

Experiment and enjoy!

Lazy weekend make up review! Sometime ago my friend told me about Shu Uemura pearly loose powder. She told me that she looks flawless and sparkle in pictures and that i should try it out. I was curious and wonder, is it really that good?! At that time the pearly loose powder is new to the market, not that many people know about it.

Wait no more, i went to Shu Uemura counter and decided to try it out. It’s just like any normal loose powder except, it’s mix with very fine glitter. That explains where the sparkle came from. It’s not very glittery you can barely see it on your face, but it does brighten up the face and looks fresh and shinny in pictures ( in a good way, not oily shinny)

The make up consultant recommend for night use. The glitter will shine more to brighten up the face at night. You can also use it for day if you don’t mind a little glittery effect on your face. It definitely gives a more polished look compare to the normal loose powder.

You can even pad it on your shoulders when you wear a tube top for that extra glittery effect, great for clubs or a night party. Bare in mind that it’s very fine glitter with just that extra luminosity. I wear it for day and night. Doesn’t make any difference to me. I have to agree with my friend that it does gives you that polished look rather than normal loose powder. So when you want to set your make up, think what are the options you prefer. By the way the powder can last very long.

Another one of my favourites from Shu Uemura is their blusher. The Japanese made the right colors for Asian skin tone. I especially love the pinky flush look. I’m sure you know what i mean when you see the cute Japanese girls with their rosy cheek. You can get it from Shu Uemura blusher. It compliments Asian skin tone very well compare to the other western countries where by they focus more on olive skin tone. As you can see my blusher is finishing. This is my 2nd one I have another color with orange sun kissed blusher also by Shu Uemura. Love it! Looks like my cheeks just got a tan from the sun.

Till next time…

Sorry guys it’s not about Apple Mac computers, it’s about MAC cosmetic. What is there to write on a lazy Sunday afternoon than a make up review enjoy.

I bought this product few months ago. I was never a MAC user but it was introduce from my friend. Most of her make up is from MAC. I was complaining that i have red spots on my cheek and my chin. Although i have good complexion somehow my face seems to be patchy even after i apply foundation. Since i’m a blusher person it just doesn’t seem nice and smooth after i apply my blusher cause i’ll have blusher on and still have pink spots on various areas. This actually falls into the category of uneven skin tone. What i have is small pinkish freckles on my cheek and sometimes on my chin. Even after applying foundation it does not cover the pink freckles. What foundation does is to cover up and smoothen your skin but it does not necessarily camouflage everything that’s on your skin, freckles for example, or greenish/yellowish veins that some girls might have.

What MAC Primer does is that it evens out your skin first before any foundation is applied. I guess this is why it’s called prep+prime. Not only that it evens out the skin tone it also act like as a moisturizer and gives your skin a nice healthy glow so it won’t be dry and no worries about clog pores. A lot of people wonder what is MAC primer, i myself did a search before buying and couldn’t find any info about it. Until i was at the MAC store and the make up consultant explain and show me what it is for and how to use it. I tested it before buying as in the make up consultant applied on me and i would go back and see how the texture and the feel of the make up is. In terms of long lasting, does it feel cakey, oily after half a day or too dry, you get the idea.

I was very satisfied with the trial period i gave myself. The make up consultant gave a lil sample for me to take home. I use it on a couple of occasions like my salsa nights cause you will sweat, during the days when i have to work outdoors, and also during the days when i have to work indoors. It suits different occasions, it doesn’t run when you sweat, it doesn’t dry when there’s too much air condition. If you are one of those that falls into the uneven skin tone, think applying foundation makes your skin looks smooth wait till you prep and prime first you will be so happy with the results.
