No disrespect to Ms. Sheriff, but Ol' Girl is a little bit too bronzed up for my taste. However, my curiosity is seriously piqued with regard to the HD Advanced Concealer. I will be scoping the drugstore shelves for the arrival of this product. The Make Up For Ever (MUFE) HD Concealer is $28. I would love to save some money if at all possible.
Bargain Alert!
Airless Pump Review
I purchased a couple of these pumps from
for $4.00. Be sure to check out their SALE Items page.
My L'Oreal True Match Liquid Foundation did not come with a pump, so I was wasting product every time I used it. I simply peeled the label from the L'Oreal True Match bottle and was able to transfer it to the airless pump bottle.
This is an awesome investment. I bought the pump from MAC Cosmetics to go with my Select SPF Liquid Foundation, for $5.

I purchased the incorrect foundation color from the CCO. (Find your local CCO HERE)
I gifted it to a friend in an airless pump bottle, so I could BACK 2 MAC the bottle. It makes more sense to just purchase the airless pump. It costs less and you can
BACK 2 MAC the empty jar.
The airless pump holds 30ml of fluid. This bottle will prevent product coming in contact with oxygen during use to preserve ingredients and maintain shelf life. It will also help to minimize waste as product is being pushed up to the pump via a disk. It took a bit of time before I figured out how to use the airless pump. Eventually I figured out that I just needed to shake the bottle before pumping. There were no instructions accompanying the bottles.
I phoned Auraline Beauty and their customer service representative was most helpful. She confirmed that no straw was needed to use the airless pump.
PROS:
Less expensive than MAC Pump
Free's up the bottle for BACK to MAC
Convenient Lid
Conserves Product
Airtight (Preserves Quality of Product No Oxidation in Bottle)
CONS: NONE
I LOVE this! I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Run & buy this, you won't be sorry.
Auraline Beauty requires a minimum purchase of $50. There is a flat rate of $3 shipping if you spend less than $150. Purchases of $150 and up get free shipping.
At this time, as far as I know, they only ship to the U.S. and Canada.
Try Ebay for the airless pump.
