MAC mineralize moisture to the rescue

For the past few years now I have had really problematic skin, it has been dry combination with breakouts. So with that being said I have to be sure when I am buying a foundation that it is not a waste of money!
I can without a showdown of a doubt say that the latest offering from MACs mineralize collection is an investment I am very glad to have made!

I requested samples from my local MAC in NW 25, NW30 and NC30, I have since purchased NC30 and will use up my NW30 in mineralize satin finish (which I was sad to learn will be discontinued, until I found its replacement)

The foundation is in a pump bottle and 2 pumps its just enough for me. It is a medium coverage but buildable, in saying that even layered on I didn't find it drying at all, quite the opposite! It has a lovely dewy finish. I set it with mineralize powder and it lasts a good 10 hours.

I would recommend a trip to your local counter with a little pot stack (available for €3/€4 in boots) and ask for a sample of your colour match (or like I did 2-3 around your shade) The MAC artists are super helpful so it's no problem and I bet you'll be back for the bottle!! X



Project Pan

Like so many of us I have a major weakness when it comes to all things beauty. If there is a new product I must have it!! Suffice to say I have accumulated a bit of a stash!

And so I have put myself in the project pan diet!!

For anyone not too familiar Project Pan is when you make a list of all beauty products in your stash, I've put mine into groups of skin care, makeup, hair are etc, the point is to see what you have and use it up before you buy more... Hence project Pan as in hitting pan! So over the next few weeks I am hoping to save a few euros and make a major dent in my hoard!
