Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelee

estee lauder illuminating powder gelee

When I was pregnant… people often complimented me on my “glow”. Between you and I, I had no pregnancy glow at all. I simply used a gel-based highlighter much like this version by Estee Lauder! Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelee is perhaps the most coveted limited-edition item from the recently released Modern Mercury makeup collection for Fall 2011. As you would expect, this shade adds a metallic bronze sheen to the skin, with a touch of youthful peach. It’s the ultimate warm-toned highlighter of the season.

Dr. Dennis Gross All-In-One Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 15

I’ve been a big fan of tinted moisturizers this Summer. But I have to say… finding the right one for your skin-tone is as tricky as selecting a foundation!

If your skin tends to be a wee bit orange, you’ll like Dr. Dennis Gross All-In-One Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 15 in light/medium. This tinted moisturizer actually provides more coverage than most, and blends to a delightful tan/coral shade. For me, this shade simply doesn’t work. I’m way too pale! Despite the name “light/medium”, I personally think someone with solidly medium skin-tone would do quite nicely with this product… plus, it has an SPF15!

What do you think… is it a winner for you?

MAC Skinsheen Bronzer Stick Reviews

MAC “Surf, Baby” might not be available when checking out the “What’s new” portion of the site… but some of the products from their limited-edition summer collection are still available! Seems like everyone I talk to is looking for new ways to achieve the ultimate faux tan, so allow me to introduce MAC Skinsheen Bronzer Stick! [Read more…] about MAC Skinsheen Bronzer Stick Reviews

Semi-Precious Mineralize Skinfinish

Where my friends were concerned, it was MAC lipstick that launched a long-term love affair with the brand. So many of my girls carried a tube at all times, quite devotedly!

I was a bit of a late adopter, I suppose. While I liked MAC, the brand truly earned my allegiance when it launched Mineralize Skinfinish. This mineral-infused formula (it contains 77 skin-loving minerals) isn’t like the typical pressed powder. It leaves the skin looking positively luminous. The formula never looks dry or flat, or settles in the pores! [Read more…] about Semi-Precious Mineralize Skinfinish

MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Poudre In Gold-Go-Lightly

From MAC Surf Baby color collection comes MAC Studio Care Blend Pressed Poudre in Gold-Go-Lightly. This pale-skinned blogger is always in search of a bronzer that’s light enough to look natural on my skin. I’ve found it in Gold-Go-Lightly!

MAC Studio Care Blend Pressed Poudre In Gold Go Lightly Is Fab For Fair Skin

MAC’s Summer makeup collection actually offers tons of faux-bronzing options… so if you’re always searching–but failing–to find the perfect one for you, you may get lucky with these products!

This season, I’m really digging the matte bronze look. If you are as well, you’ll love Studio Careblend Pressed Powder. The finish of these bronzing powders is matte and natural. Truly it mimics a sun-kissed look!

Even the packaging is perfect. The compact is sporting MAC’s towel-striped Surf Baby look, and the powder inside is embossed with the “MAC” insignia.
