I was sent a wonderful supply of cosmetics to review including Hydrating Anti-Aging Moisturizer with SPF 30+, Restauracel-C Thermal Microdermabrasion Set, Mineral Blush, Luminous Lip Gloss, Intense Eye Liner, and Mineral Eye Shadow Duo. Now here is a creepy picture of me before makeup.
I told you it was creepy! By the progression of the bags under my eyes, I'm thinking I need more sleep! lol I started with the microdermabrasion set. You take a bit of the Refinisher Cream and Thermal Activator and rub them together in the palm of your hand. You can apply to your whole face or just your problem areas. For this review I just applied it to my chin, which is a huge problem area for me. I had been using acne pads and they dry out my skin, so it had been rough and flaky. Eww! The microdermabrasion treatment got rid of all the dead skin. I absolutely loved this set. It felt so good on my skin and I definitely felt and saw a difference. My skin feels so smooth!
Next I applied the eyeliner and shadow to my eyes. The eyeliner goes on very smoothly and was easy to apply. And it doesn't smudge! I have been using an eyeliner that, by the end of day, has smeared all over my undereye area. The eyeshadow applicator was different than one I had used before. On one end, the tip was thinner and more pointed, which made it easier to get the shape I wanted. I also did not need to use much shadow. A little went a long way here!
I also didn't need to use much of the mineral blush. Just one little dab of my brush and my entire cheek was covered. It was a little dark, but would have looked great if I had the Mineral Bronzer as well. Lastly, I applied the lip gloss. The lip gloss is not goopy or sticky, which is the worst! That just ruins a lip gloss for me. And I am definitely a lip gloss girl instead of lip stick. This lip gloss is still making my lips feel moist and adds a very nice shimmer without overdoing it. Sometimes subtle is better.
