La Femme Blush On Rouge - REVIEW

Pan Size: 1.45 inch 36.83 mm
(This is the same size as a single Make Up For Ever single eyeshadow)

I received these three lovely blushes as a gift from a friend.
They are extremely pigmented and last all day.
I would recommend using a fan brush to apply the blush with a very light hand.
A little bit goes a long way.




Left to Right
 MAGENTA Hot Pink matte
PURPLE PASSION Purple satin with slight shimmer
BORDEAUX Wine with lots of shimmer



PROS

• Highly pigmented.
• Beyond affordable at $2.50 for a single pan without the casing. $3.00 in the pot.

CONS

• When purchasing, the wait time for these is more than a week. The orders are processed by hand. It is certainly worth it in my humble opinion for such a pigmented product.
• Many of the colors are often out of stock because of the popularity of this blush.

I plan to purchase more La Femme Blushes from http://www.makeupmania.com/

Urban Decay - all nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray - REVIEW

I purchased the sample size (.34 oz) of this product for $12
from Sephora.
I liked it so I bought the full sized (4.0 oz) bottle at $29.
I prefer using the sample sized bottle because the mist seems finer and the direction of the spray is more controllable.

Two or three sprays over my face keeps my makeup as flawless at the end of the day as when I first apply it in the morning.










PROS

• Does give a healthy glow to makeup.
• Avoids creasing.
• Looks as good at the end of the day as at the beginning.
• Minimizes foundation transfer.
• Paraben Free, Cruelty Free, Oil Free

CONS

• Full size spray is not easily controllable, leading to waste of product.
• Price $12 to $29 is a little bit expensive, but I guess you can not put a price on the security of having your makeup stay in place for more than 8 hours.
