Dislike: MAC Mineralize SkinFinish

 Mineralize Skinfinish
This picture isnt the exact one that I have but its similar.
I got this product at a cosmetic outlet for limited addition products. I was super excited when I get this product for $17 (usually $28). I liked that it was tan with a lighter shimmer. Now I love most MAC product that I have but I am really disappointed. I heard amazing things about this product. For me this was WAYYY to shimmery to use all over my face so I tried it as a blush for more a natural look still to much glitter. So then I just used the tan half that did not have the lighter pink shimmery shade. Since the product is divided into a tan shade and the pink glittery side it was rather easy to use one or the other. I did try the tan side for an all over powder but the coverage was just too light. I tried the shimmery pink side as an eyeshadow or highlight and I just didnt like it. I have plans to give this product away. I honestly have had this for months and maybe used it like 5 times. Just not that great. I might try MACs mineralize skinfinish natural which is more of a pressed powder in flesh tones. Who knows? What do you guys think about this product or products like this?

Review: Coastal Scents 88 Metal Mania Palette

I had heard a million good things about this company and their products. So after watching and reading many reviews I decided to check them out for myself. I liked this palette best because it contains less of the crazy rainbow colors, sorry girls but I dont do rainbow eye shadow. =]
I was so excited to get my palette in the mail ( shipped within a week) Also, this palette is an amazing deal coming in just shy of $25; now some of you may be thinking thats alot of money but when you really think about it if you buy just 1 eyeshadow at the drugstore it can be anywhere from $2 to $10. So getting 88 shadows for $25 is an amazing deal if you ask me!! The eyeshadows are small about the size of a dime but there are just so many to choose from.The shadows are very pigmented and are the same color as they appear. I use an eyeshadow primer/base everytime I wear eyeshadow and with that these shadows do last all day. They blend incridibly well.
I am into the earthy toned shadows and cool colors, this is the perfect palette for that with greens, browns, darker greys, purples, oranges, gold, pinks and mauves. Now there are some brigher shadows but if you use them with a light hand they are wearable.
I have owned this palette for over 3 months and I am very satisfied. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to start makeup or already has tons of makeup but wants something to take along with them on vacations. I love that I am able to take this palette in my suitcase and I have all the colors I need to make smokey or neutral eye looks.
If you have tried this leave a comment below and let me know that you think!!!

Review: Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner

Aussie Moist 3-Minute Miracle Deeeeep Reconstructor

Alright, So I am back reviewing another product I think is fabulous. Seriously everyone needs to deep condition your hair at least one time a week so I went to the drugstore to check out what kind of things they had available.
Normally I probably wouldn't try this brand "aussie" but hey, it was under 4 dollars and who cannot resist that!!! I used it the next day in the shower. I love the smell; I am not sure how to really describe the smell but tropical is all I can say. This left my hair feeling amazingly soft. I even recommended to a friend the next day.
Since I have been through 1 whole bottle and I am half way through my second. Some days I just shampoo my hair in the shower and then towel dry my hair and throw a handful of this in and leave it an hour or two while I clean or do laundry. Makes my hair even MORE amazing. Try this puppy out
