Review: Senna Sheer Mineral Makeup SPF 20


Hey girls! So, in spirit of summer, I will be reviewing the Senna Cosmetics Sheer Mineral Makeup SPF 20 because people always want good coverage with SPF without having a white cast often triggered by using sunscreen. This has all of those benefits plus others. Its fragrance free, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. It retails for $36 on their site as well as other retailers. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!



Pro(s):
-Stays on for 5-7 hours depending on weather.
-Moisturizes and doesn’t oxidize easily.
-It gives great coverage while containing SPF 20.



Con(s):
-The product contains lots of shimmer and cannot be calmed down although it won’t be that noticeable after a while.
-A bit pricey.

Overall review: This product is really good for all skin types, but best of all, it’s best for oily skin types because it’s oil-free itself. I really liked it since it was waterproof and it withstood my bride’s tears (the one whose makeup I did). I think that it’s a bit pricey, but it’s a pretty good deal because you only need a pea sized amount. When I applied this, it felt like I didn’t have any makeup on. I actually like all of those qualities in makeup. Thanks to Jen for requesting this review and I hope all of my other readers enjoyed!

Rating: 9/10 The shimmer made the rating go down.

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes, but if shimmer bothers you, go for their matte foundation.

Review: NEW Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20


Hey girls! Today I’m about to introduce to you the NEW Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20. This product will not launch until August, but I got an early preview for you. These Miracle Skin Transformers will retail for $48 for 50mL. They will have a clear shade, light, medium, and tan which will be for dark skin tones. The clear shade can be used as a primer. It claims to hydrate the skin, enhance the tone and protect with the UVA/UVB SPF 20. Before their launch, all throughout July, they are offering a free 5g sample tube of their product so go and grab one before the product launches, but they only have the shades medium and tan available. The link to their site will be in the side bar. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!

Pro(s):
-Doesn’t have a scent and keep the skin hydrated feeling.
-Feels very velvety in texture which causes it to glide on easily and blend easily.
-Provides a matte finish with some sheen, but nothing oily looking.
-The coverage is buildable without looking cakey and since it has natural silicones in it, it won’t break you out and it will fill in fine lines.
-It's partly waterproof and has SPF 20.

Con(s):
-Doesn’t provide full coverage, but it isn’t meant to. Your coverage will be light to medium.

Overall review: I really like this product since it works great as an everyday foundation. It’s light and has buildable coverage so you can use it every day to prime your face. I found that it’s very sheer and will even your skin tone out so if you have a lot of blemishes, you will need extra coverage, but for priming its good. For me, I really don’t have many blemishes, just dark circles so I just use and under eye concealer and I’m good to go in the morning. This is sort of waterproof because I was sweating a lot when I went to an amusement park, but it didn’t melt off of my face. It's a lot like an American Blemish Balm Cream. I hope all of you enjoyed the review and don’t forget to visit their site to get a free sample. Enjoy!

Rating: 9.5/10

Press Release: Lush Colour Supplement



Hey girlies! Again, I know, I know another press release! I’m just addicted to having the latest releases because they rock and I get a brilliant response from you people for it. Lush is deciding to take the makeup road and they are releasing in the UK. Basically, they’re like these little pots with something that looks thick and it’s like a tinted moisturizer. You can mix it in with your normal moisturize and stuff like that. I personally will most likely go and snag one of these online maybe. I don’t think you get much product and they retail for about $9 since its 7.99 Euros. Thanks to the Muse for the wonderful and informative post! These look amazing; I hope you really enjoy it.

Review: MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15



This product I'm reviewing today won't be in my normal format since I love this product to death. Well, I have to follow it even if I don’t want to because it makes the most sense so let’s get started.

Pros: The good things are that after you apply it, it barely feels like you are wearing it. Your skin feels very natural and you get medium sheer coverage which is perfect for days when you don’t feel like wearing a lot of makeup. I personally only have a couple of blemishes and dark circles so I use this a lot because it covers my blemishes and as for my dark circles, well those are eternal. This is very sheer and since I bought it in the summer, I have the shade medium, but now since it is winter, I got lighter so this tinted moisturizer gives my face a nice bronzed look. Just one thing is that my neck and face don’t match. It’s not that bad. Well, for the winter, this is best since it doesn’t dry out dry faces and doesn’t oil up oily faces. My skin type remains neutral and I don’t get oily throughout the day. I don’t even have to set my face with powder because the tinted moisturizer doesn’t shift throughout the day.

Cons: It smells funny, that’s it.

Overall Review: I love this stuff. This is probably going to be my holy grail foundation until I die or until it’s in the permanent line and the day MAC is discontinuing it, I will purchase a lifetime supply. It works wonders on my face especially since I have dry skin. I would recommend this to anyone who likes tinted moisturizers. This one has the best consistency so you only need a pea sized amount for your entire face. That’s how much I’ve been using since July and I still have plenty of it left. This is by far the best product I’ve ever used in my entire life.
