Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix
What is it?
A light and comfortable spray that sets all types of makeup and prolongs hold, even under extreme conditions.
What is it formulated to do?
With the alcohol-free formula, makeup is protected by a light, invisible film that feels comfortable on the skin. Enriched with chitosan, a marine algae extract, this makeup fixer spray protects skin against external damage caused by temperature changes, pollution, and other possible irritants.
Dany Sanz Tip:
For busy women who want to go from work to an evening dinner out and don't have time to go home for touch ups, spray mist and fix on a thick tissue and pat gently on the face to refresh your makeup. Then apply a veil of compact powder to give your complexion a velvety texture for the evening.
I purchased the small bottle (.84oz) from Sephora for $8.
The large bottle (4.22oz) is $28.
You NEED this in your life!
After having used this product, I hugged my hubby. To my surprize, not a trace of my fully made up face was left on his fresh white t-shirt! I'll never go without it again!
Albeit, the pose was awkward b/c I was trying to disguise my double chin, this product really did the best job EVER in setting my makeup! LOL

Milani Serendipity Lip Gloss/MAC Oh Baby Lipglass Dupe
I love all metallic lippies! I recently watched a vid by Erin (scandalous beauty) on You Tube. She said that Milani Serendipity is a dupe for MAC Oh Baby Lipglass. Always the spendthrift, it merited investigation.
I purchased mine from Walgreen's for $4.99.

The difference in price? $10...work it out!

Jesse's Girl Baked Powder Eyeshadow (UPDATE)
Swatches
I was able to get a few more colors to round out my collection.
NIGHT VISION
MOON BEAM
SKYWALKER
GOLDEN MEADOW
CHERRY BLOSSOM
I still didn't pick up the cream with gold because they were all shattered.
This is a very delicate product. I think they should seriously take a page from MAC & add a protective shield to cover the dome of the baked shadow. My Skywalker was a casualty on the way home. Fortunately, the exchange was hassle free. If you do consider purchasing these, please be very careful when you place them in your purse.
MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow - Sea & Sky
with Protective Plastic Cover
I was EXTREMELY impressed with the quality & pigmentation. I even compared them to my MAC Sea & Sky Mineralized Eyeshadow. Sorry MAC, Jesse's Girl is WAY MORE PIGMENTED! A steal @ $3.99. Be FORWARNED, they are VERY FRAGILE! These are limited edition & I have not even seen them on their website yet. So snatch these up while you can!
