Finally Coming Around | Soap & Glory One Heck of A Blot Powder

From the beginning of my blog reading adventures I've always followed many Britain based bloggers and almost every one of them would constantly rant and rave about how much they loved Soap & Glory's One Heck of A Blot Powder. Unfortunately for me it wasn't until recently that Soap & Glory makeup was readily available in the states so all I could do for the longest time was covet this pretty little mattifying powder. 

RCMA No-Color Powder | My New Holy Grail Setting Powder

As an oily/combo skinned girl setting powders are essential to my makeup life. Without setting powder I'm pretty sure my makeup would last MAYBE three hours with any luck (if it was cooler out maybe longer but it's getting real hot and humid these days.) Since setting powders are so vital in achieving a long lasting makeup look I'm always ready and willing to try out a new one. 

A Make Up For Ever Haul

Over the past two weeks or so I have picked up and been given some new Make Up For Ever Products that I am really excited about. Honestly, my dream makeup kit for myself and for my clients would be purely made up of Make Up For Ever Products aside from my beloved Laura Mercier Loose Powder. It was the first high end brand that I ever really got into and it has had a special place in my heart ever since. I'm still waiting for Dani Sanz to adopt me and I'm pretty sure one day its 10000% going to happen I can feel it. I'll even learn French for her I swear (probably not but, it's the thought that counts.)  

Makeup Steps I Never Skip

Overall I feel like everyone has makeup steps that they leave out when they are rushing or aren't putting on as much makeup as usual. It's inevitable... sometimes we have those moments when we forget or just don't have the time to be bothered because we are running late and things aren't going well and the last thing we need is one more thing in our lives to make it worse. In the same vein there are some things that we would all never dream of skipping because if we did the world would crumble and our makeup would look just a little unfinished and then our day would be ruined. 

Friday Favorites | The Laura Mercier Complexion

I've recently made a little switch up in my complexion products just to try something new and all I have to say is that I'm in love. The new Laura Mercier Silk Creme Moisturizing Photo Edition Foundation (full review coming soon) and the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder are a match made in makeup heaven.
