Weekly Blogs - I love tinted moisturizers!

I've decided to start a weekly blog where I will try to write once a week on my blog about random things. It could be things in my life, it could be makeup, whatever. I'm not sure if it would be on a certain day of the week... but I'll only say something when I have something to say.

I can't wait for the To The Beach Collection Sneak Peek Unvailing Event tmr night at the MAC store near my house. It will be the first time I'm going to an unvailing party so it will be pretty exciting. I've also only ever bought one product from MAC which is their Studio Fix Powder Foundation. I have to say that it is goes on quite matte but it makes my face super oily throughout the day. Btw, I have oily skin. On top of that, I get allergic reaction to it. No good. I was matched for NC 25. I heard really good things about MAC's lipglosses, lipsticks, and eyeshadows so I will go check them out. I love the packaging for the new collection. Its soo summery and beachy. The collection comes out in Canada & U.S. on May 27, 2010. Be on the look out. Temptalia has all the swatches and photos and product description and what must have and not. Cool thing is that the girl from temptalia is also NC 25.

Currently, I am in love with tinted moisturizers. It is supposed to be a light weight alternative to a cakey makeup for the summer.  I kinda have an issue with that which I will try to explain to ya'll. The Physician's Formula one, Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer, is great and all cuz its blendable and natural, but its too sheer. I would have to conceal first and have to powder over. In the summer when its hot the powder wears off and yeah its just not great. I would still recommend it if you want something sheer.

Now I'm back to Marcelle Sheer Tint Fluid Moisturizer. I have done a face routine vid last summer using it and ended up hating the product cuz it got me greasy. 1) I think I apply too much 2) I didn't apply primer first 3) I apply it wrong. I got back to it starting today using my duo fibre brush and its ok. I find the consistency really thick so it doesn't hype up to the light weight summer alternative thing. And it takes just as long to apply as my regular liquid foundation. Tinted moisturizers are suppose to be quick and easy. My color mocha beige (self matched) is too dark and my mom's color creme beige is too light. I will try to mix both and do something to it so that I will like it. It I do end up liking it I will do a vid about it. The reason I went back to it is b/c it has spf and my other one didn't.

Honestly, I'd still prefer to stick with my liquid foundation L'oreal True Match Super-Blendable Makeup contrary to what people say. People don't like using heavy foundation in the summer but that one I love cuz its very easy to blend, light weight, and yet it gives the right amount of coverage. It feels like I'm wearing nothing. Ya'll should seriously check it out if you have not done so.

Anywhoo.... I shall head to bed now. I got a long day tomorrow.

Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight 700

Price: $6.99 CND

Net Wt: 0.14 oz, 4g

Packaging: It has a very sleek and chic packaging in metallic purple. I don't really like purple but I still find the packaging really nice. I also like the crown engraved to the cap of the lipstick.

Color: It is a nude shade with a peachy tone so it does not wash your lips out. It is the perfect nude color. You almost don't even need a lipgloss over it.

My Opinion: It is very moisturizing on the lips. It goes on like lip balm and feels like lip balm as well. It does not dry out my lips. This is my go to wearable lipstick. 

Rating: 5/5
