FIRST IMPRESSION - MAC BLOT POWDER PRESSED

Today I'am first impression-ing the blot powder pressed by MAC

First of all, I've been wanting to try this blot powder for ages! But just thought it was a gimmick as most company's have powders that say that there shine proof and keep oil at bay and which stay on for hours.

BUT this product is so different it actually does keep your makeup on all day MAC claims that it is a  'unique pressed powder designed primarily to provide shine control without adding any noticeable colour or texture. Sets foundation, finishes faces. For use in professional situations and for frequent touch-ups. Blot Powder contains Mica and Silica to absorb excess oils and reduce shine on the skin's surface'. One thing I'am scared about is the mica and silica praying that theses don't break me out.

I applied this over my colorstay foundation at 8:30am, I can see myself using this product quite quickly as I don't know how much I'am applying because it's more like a trancluet powder than anything like a mineralized skinfinish natural.

Through out the day (I'am a hairdresser) at work, I would check my makeup making sure it was still in place and it was! Once I got home 5:30pm I looked again, normally by this time whilst wearing Mineralise skinfinish my nose would be oily as, but today it was defiantly there was literally NO OIL! At around 6:30 I checked again as I was going out, I decided to reapply at this stage, slight oil was coming through could have gone with out re-applying but I did.

Once thing I did notice when coming home 9:30 there was still no oil, but did look a little cakey on the face. I'am Really excited to use this on my 12 hour shift see how it holds up!

OVERALL: This product doesn't get the hype it deserves, this could seriously be my new holy grail, but I'am gonna give a couple weeks and give another review.

Wednesday Weekly Wishlist #4 - TRAVEL EDITION

If you Follow me on instagram hint go follow me, you would know that in November my boyfriend and I are off to Bali for my birthday Yaya, now ive never been to Bali but I know that most of the time its very hot and humid so I'am going to try and take minimal make up as possible.

Below are some products which are available in travel size, which I'am still deciding on which of the following I want to purchase but here are some ideas.

I'am planning on getting a tan before I go, Basically because I don't want to arrive in Bali white or pale as. But because when fake tanning my face fades quicker than my body so I'am hoping that when applying bronzer creme or tanner will help stop that, once again, not to sure on which is going be suitable for what I want.

Love this bronze so much, but because the full size is quite bulky the travel size should be great!

I haven't tried this Mascara before, but it's between this one or Too faced better than sex because that also comes in a travel size, but we shall have to see which is better, also thinking about buying maybe a waterproof one or wearing clear gel.

Really undecided about if I'am going to take I'am looking for a matte coverage and something that keeps the oil at bay, so I'am deciding on a BB cream, tinted moisturizer (I feel the Estee lauder, is an inbetween of a foundation and tint moisturizer)

Face wipes is a must a think because its going to be oily and theses will be good to help tone my skin and keep it fresh also.

Love this foundation primer, so I'am so relieved it came in a cute travel size, so defies purchasing this

Also think that blotting powder is a must for the holiday haven't tried one before so I'am excited to see how it goes, hopefully keep my makeup on all day.

Some travel products are on their way so I'am excited about that and give you a haul
