Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Nylon 12, Bis Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate 2, Cetyl Dimethicone, Lauroyl Lysine, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, May Contain (+/-): Iron Oxides, Ultramarines, Manganese Violet, Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake

My Opinion:

I think the name of this product is just spot on, "eyelighter", a highlighter for your lids. Although it looks like an eyeshadow, it does not have much pigmentation, only a sheen, and it works pretty well in brightening your lids.

I do like this product, but I still prefer Benefit Lemon Aid over this, because it's matte and I can wear it alone without makeup and it wouldn't look too obvious.

Ingredients: Mica, Boron Nitride, Mineral Oil, Aluminum Distearate, Petrolatum, Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Carmine, Ultramarines

My Opinion:

I got this mainly because it claims to be a correcting powder, and since my skin is either reddish or sallow, I though this might help.

This is a finely milled powder, that did brighten my complexion, but did nothing to tone down redness.

I've been using this to set my makeup and it does the job, but I don't love it enough to repurchase.

My Opinion:

I've needed a new face powder and made the purchase due to the lovely packaging, but once I swatched it on the back of my hand, knew immediately that there was no way for me to use it all over my face, I would call this a highlighter rather than a face powder.

This powder is not shimmery at all, but it'll give you the most beautiful sheen. I don't usually wear highlighters on a daily basis, but since I've got this product, have been using it nearly everyday.

MAY CONTAIN: IRONOXIDES, ULTRAMARINES.  My Opinion: I've always wanted to try Physician's formula, and since I've wanted a new blotting powder, I've decided to get this in the shade translucent. After using it once, I knew immediately that I won't be able to use it for touch up, because this powder is just way to light for my skintone, definetly not translucent, it does leave a white cast....

HAUL MADNESS II

After these 2 posts, I guess you all would agree that I do need to go for "No Buy".

I've decided to split my purchases in the following categories:

• Makeup - definetly NO BUY
• Skincare - I'm allow to replace stuffs that I've finished
• Body and Haircare - I'm allow for replace

For makeup products I'm going to try for a 3 months no buy, while I'm targeting for 12 months period (fingers crossed)

For skin care and body care products, I'm only setting my target for 1 month.

I'm going to stick with my plans, and I'm already feeling miserable....
