Perfect Beauty – Becca & MAC Mini Haul

· 4 Comments


Welcome to another weekly series that I am excited to include on the blog called Perfect Beauty. Here is where I will share with you beauty product hauls, reviews, and favorites. Besides fashion, I can definitely say that I am obsessed with makeup. I’ve dedicated an entire room in my home as my studio which you may have seen in some of my outfit posts. Professionally, I have done some work as an artist providing services for various events including weddings. I love that there is always room to grow and techniques to learn in this field and look forward to growing as an artist in the future.

Today’s post will be on some new items that I picked up last month. I have a tendency to get very oily in my T-zone and used to have great difficulty finding something that would keep my makeup mattified. That was until I found out about Milk of Magnesia. You can search on YouTube on how to apply it as well as other people’s thoughts on using it. MOM did do wonders in keeping my face from looking like a grease ball by the end of the day. I personally did not have any ill effects from using the product on my face, however I did want to venture out and find a true makeup product that addressed my oiliness. I heard good things about Becca’s Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector and decided to give it a try. A little goes a long way with this product. I squeeze a dab on my fingers and warm the product up before applying. Like I mentioned, I’ve been using it since last month and it is doing quite well. I always use a setting spray like Urban Decay’s De-Slick Oil Control and both products together allow me to go the entire day without any need to touch up.

Another Becca product I grabbed while I was at Sephora is their Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Topaz and Opal. The one pictured is Topaz and I tell you, it is a highlighter sent from above. I love how it looks when your face catches light at just the right angle. The particles are small and the powder is finely milled so it gives off a nice diffused glow and goes on like butter.

The last product that I am featuring today is from MAC. I am a MAC junkie and have accumulated quite a collection over the years. The quality is great and I haven’t had any complaints yet. I purchased a new lipgloss called Sugarrimmed in their Dazzleglass formula. I love the peachy-pink color and the small glitter particles. Sometimes I pair it with a nude lip like MAC’s Honeylove or Myth to give it more of an opaque color.

Stay tuned for more reviews, application techniques, and product hauls next week! Let me know below some of your favorite makeup products and if you have any makeup related questions that I can possibly answer.
