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.
I have been
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.
Have you ever tried this product?
