Vaseline - Intensive Care Deep Moisture

So I come back again with another skin product. :) Vaseline Intensive Care been my go to moisturizer when I feel like my skin needs major rejuvenation. As rich as it feels on my skin, it does not clog my pores nor irritates my eyes. My supper dry skin loves this product to the moon and back as it does wonders for it.  ;)

Mini Ulta Haul Featuring Murad Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 30

I normally don't wear sunscreen because every sunscreen I've tried is either too heavy on my skin or causes me to break out. Recently, one of my friends recommended that I try Murad's Essential-C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30 from Sephora. She said it wasn't heavy and did not irritate her skin. This moisturizer is a bit on the pricy side for my budget but three weeks ago I gave in and decided to make the purchase. I ended up ordering it from Ulta.com instead of Sephora because at that time Ulta was having a promotion for a free 22 piece beauty bag with any $60 online purchase. I took advantage of that and ordered my moisturize from Ulta. :) 

After receiving my order I wasn't too upset about how much I had spent on my moisturizer anymore because of all the additional items I received with it. Out of all the beauty products I received, I am most excited to try Murad's Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum, Benefit's Dew the Hoola, It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product, and Butter London's Double Decker Mascara. 

This cute makeup bag held the 22 piece travel-size beauty product. It's not exactly my style but i couldn't resist taking a photo of it. ;)

BareMinerals "READY" Pressed Powder Foundation - Pressed Powder Foundation

For a while now, I've been on the hunt to find a new pressed powder foundation. I've used Mac Studio Fix for as long as I can remember, and sometimes when I feel like trying something new I really don't have an alternative in my make-up bag. So I did some "Youtube" research, and came across four different pressed power foundations, and the BareMinerals Ready pressed powder foundation was one of them.

It's really hard for me to do this review because I'm a big fan of  BareMinerals. I've used their Well-Rested eye brightener, Vintage Peach blush, Prime Time primer, and have never had any problems. The products do what they claim to do, and I love that about this brand. However this product specifically didn't do well on my skin. If I'm being perfectly honest, I do think the main reason why it didn't work for me is mostly because of the type of skin I have. I've always had dry skin and when it comes to foundation (liquid or powder), I need to be extra cautious because it leaves my skin looking flakey and even more dry.

The BareMinerals READY foundation gave me a medium to full coverage, and made my skin look pretty radiant. But after a couple of hours, I started to see flakiness around my mouth and chin area. By the end of the day I felt like I was wearing liquid foundation. It looked very cakey and patchy on my skin. Unfortunately, It won't be a re-purchase anytime soon. Maybe when/if my skin type changes I can give it another try, but as of right now I'm going to keep using my Mac Studio Fix.

I have to say that If you have normal or oily skin, this foundation could do very well on your skin, but I can only share my experience based on the skin type that I have.

I'm not giving up just yet on finding a new powder foundation because I still have three more options that I haven't tried:

Nars 'All Day' Luminous Powder Foundation

It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation

Tarte Airbrush Full Coverage Foundation


Will be doing a review on each of them, once I've properly tried each one.
