 Too Faced Caribbean In a Compact ($25) All right girls listen up…enough sun damage and endangering your life with those nasty UVB and UVA rays. There is no excuse when Too Faced has created five unique one-of-a-kind bronzers. Control your fake bake and choose a subtle glow or a savage tan.
My Thoughts:
I have this bronzer in Snow Bunny (pictured). I use this as a bronzer, highlighter, and blush. It’s shimmery, but nothing to be afraid of. It gives you a healthy glow. I’ve had this for a couple of years now and I still haven’t hit the bottom yet. I mostly use this during the late fall, winter, and early spring when I am pale and in desperate need of some color. I love how it doesn’t make me orange or look like I have a fake tan. It gives you a natural look.

 Clinique Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Powder ($32.50) Unique mineral treatment measurably reduces redness on contact. It’s lab-certified. Under its care and cover, visible redness and broken capillaries virtually disappear-instantly and for hours. Patent-pending formula helps skin “keep its cool.” Oil-free, talc-free. With anti-bacterial brush. Appropriate for skins with mild-to-moderate Rosacea or reactive redness.
My Thoughts:
I have blotchy red skin so I decided to try this powder after seeing it advertised in many magazines. The texture of the powder is nice, but it left a powdery finish (something I try to avoid). I was told it takes some time to reduce the redness, but I’ve been using it for quite some time now and I haven’t seen much improvement. However, when I am wearing the powder, my redness is reduced, but not much. Does that sound confusing? So to recap, when I am wearing the powder, the redness is reduced a little bit. When I remove the powder, redness is back. This redness reducing powder is listed as skin care, and I was hoping it would be a treatment for my redness, but I guess it’s not. I wouldn’t buy this again because it’s expensive and the results are not worth it. I can achieve the same results using foundation and concealer for much cheaper.

I actually liked Mineral Veil ($19) when I used it. I stopped because I personally don’t like loose powders. I’m clumsy, and I am always dropping stuff. Dropping this stuff will be one big giant mess! Mineral Veil really does a good job of keeping the oily face at bay. It’s really light weight and sheer. I actually tried Mineral Veil first, but found it to be a bit ghostly, pale and flat on my face. I decided to give Tint Mineral Veil a try. I was glad I did! It added a warmth and a bit of color to my face. I highly recommend this if you’re into loose powders or want to try loose powders.

I initially loved The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas SPF 15 foundation ($35), but as time passed I began noticing the powdery finish it left and that was a mjaor turn-off. It didn’t seem to blend into my skin, but rather sit on the surface of my skin. I did like the light feeling, and the quick, easy application. I just did not care for the unnatural, powdery finish. The coverage is also sheer and not buildable. If you tried to layer it on for coverage, then you will definitly be left looking like you covered your face with powder. I loved the cute little jar-like case it came in, but I didn’t like the sponge puff. I didn’t like having to constantly buy the replacements from Philosophy ($3 for 3), because I couldn’t find sponges like those elsewhere.
