It's Friday and I wanted to have some color on the lids at work as the rules are a little bit relaxed on corporate casual Fridays. As I keep saying again and again, my favorite color is green and I missed wearing it on my lids. I used four (but it can be just three) different MAC eyeshadows for this look. They are all from the permanent collection (I didn't count the highlighter, Going Bananas, which was from the C-Shock collection). All this limited edition hype is making me crave for some good old, reliable permanent colors from MAC. Please note that I did this look in about 10 minutes tops as I didn't want to be late for work, so please pardon any mistakes or imperfections.

I am wearing my beauty powder blush in Eversun and I am really loving this. This is a prettier, sheerer version of the popular MAC blush in Sunbasque, but I prefer Eversun because it is softer but definitely remarkable. It gives the pop of color that I need without making the look garish.

I also used my Joppa mineral foundation and I am really loving this. I got a full size pot for only $10 when they had it on sale, and I am so glad I got a good deal. I love the smooth finish and the great coverage. I am liking this mineral makeup company because they have awesome sales regularly (check their clearance items) and the pigments/minerals are of really good quality.

I bought another dozen shades from Franchesca of Adorned With Grace minerals before all her stocks ran out, and I was glad I made the last minute order. Franchesca was also nice to include some free samples, plus 5g jars of her Light and Medium/Dark rice finishing powder. I really am loving her minerals; they are simply packaged but they are of good quality and staying power is great, especially when used over MAC Beige-ing shadestick or paint pots. HERE is my previous review of Adorned With Grace Minerals, and just for the record, my second batch of pigments didn't disappoint.

Freebies are the ones in baggies, and the rice powder jars (bottom row)

So I finally laid my hands on these beautiful beauty powder blushes that were launched yesterday, I believe? These are the perfect blushes for me because they are an excellent marriage of color and sheen, not shine. I first fell in love with beauty powders during my MAC Barbie phase. Although I still love my Pearl Sunshine and Pearl Blossom beauty powders up to now, the new beauty powder blushes are different in the sense that there is more pigment to make them technically blushes, but the slight sheen that gives your entire complexion a lift is so out of the ordinary. They are not like mineralize skinfinishes either. MSFs radiate a more intense glow, and some of the less popular ones are kind of glittery. Beauty powder blushes, however, just emit the subtlest glow, just a whisper of sheen to your skin to de-flat your complexion. My favorites would be Feeling and Shy Beauty, but in fact, every one of these is very wearable.
