MAC’s Sonic Chic Collection – Mineralize Blush
by Jenna Rocca These new pressed mineral blushes by MAC come in a range of nine neutrals and rosy hues with hints of metallics to varying degrees. They are great for building upon themselves in layers, as they go on rather sheer. Keep these in mind when trying to achieve the lovely eyeshadow/blush look from [...]

You think you love lipstick? Well meet Poppy King, the Australian who launched her first cosmetic company at the young age of 18.

Benefit Posie Tint
If you weren’t a fan of Benefit’s Benetint because the colour didn’t work for you, you’re now in luck. There’s a new version of the popular stain out called Posie Tint which is a pretty pink colour that will probably look more natural on most people. The formula is more of a gel than the [...]
Mineral Power!
The mineral makeup frenzy continues with Maybelline’s offering in this new category of makeup – they call theirs Mineral Power! There are a bunch of great products in this life – a blush, a pressed powder, as well as a liquid and powder foundation. I’ll start by saying that the colours are fantastic – they [...]
MAC Beauty Powder Blush – Pictures!
MAC launched a new set of blushes recently – significant because they already have a large range of blushes. How are these different? Well, the shimmer in the new Beauty Powder Blushes isn’t as fine as the shimmer in some of MAC’s other blushes. I find that it’s more noticeable and really gives a nice [...]

I chose to [...]
Stila Cherry Crush Lip and Cheek Stain
Today I am wearing Stila Cherry Crush Cheek and Lip Stain. I like it. I think this is the best stain formula that I have ever encountered. It’s thick and doesn’t run, and it contains enough pigment to seriously stain! A tiny dab was enough for my cheeks and the brush made it so easy [...]

Coastal Scents Blush
A little while ago, I told you about Coastal Scents Mineral Makeup which was finely milled and natural looking. Coastal Scents also has blush – the quality is still good and the colours are nice, but I am finding that the blush has a little too much shimmer for my tastes and I would use [...]
Thrrrrob by Benefit
I got my hands on the newest Benefit blush – Thrrrob! This is a sheer bright pink blush that can be built up in intensity, and I really think that it’s one of those that would work on a variety of skin tones. It’s also perfect for those people who just want a hint of [...]
