Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder

Hey guys!!!

 In my project pan I mentioned that I wanted to use up the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Bronze-03. I got this in a Laura Mercier 500 point perk and I have heard a lot about the shade highlight-01 so I had high hopes that this product would be great as well. 




I am used to my bronzer being very pigmented and having to be very careful with it because if I don't I will look muddy. This product I don't have that problem. This product looks natural on the skin and doesn't look harsh at all. I do my makeup very early in the morning and thanks to this I never worry about having a heavy hand and making myself look muddy.

The swatch on the picture is actually a heavy swatch. This product is good for people who tend to be heavy handed with their bronzer or even beginners who are still trying to get the hang of bronzing and contouring. I am still trying to get the hang of contouring to be honest. 

The website says that it is supposed to give you a healthy radiance glow to the skin and it does just that. It is very blendable and easy to work with.  

Overall I do love this product. I still stand by my holy grail Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer 100%, but I would repurchase this one as well. This one is a new holy grail everyday bronzer and the too faced would be special occasions when I can take my time with my makeup and not worry being heavy handed with it.

Have you guys tried this product out?? What do you think?? I still want the highlighter, but I am using up a few before I get that one. What are some of you favorite Laura Mercier products?? I have tried a few and so far nothing has disappointed me yet.

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up.

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
