RCMA No Color Powder

RCMA Makeup

No Color Powder

Purchase here!

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! THIS POWDER!

Okay so, this powder. I saw people raving about this powder on YouTube. I looked into it and thought nothing of it because it was so inexpensive for so much product but I decided to purchase it because I was in desperate need of a inexpensive powder. I was using the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Poweder and I liked that but it is 1oz for $37. I also had the Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder that was .40oz for $37 and that was fine but I liked the translucent one better. Then I tried the Coty Airspun Airspun Loose Face Powder and that is 2.3oz for $6.49 but the smell on that is horrible.

THIS POWDER the RCMA No Color Powder, I don’t know were to start. First, it is 3oz for $10 or 10oz for $20, that is an amazing price for the quality of this powder. Second, this is a no color powder meaning there is no color payoff when you put this on your skin which is amazing, where as even translucent powders have a color payoff. Third, there is no smell at all, thank youu. Lastly, it is a quality product, it doesn’t cake on the face at all.

I took a chance on trying out this powder and i’m so glad I did, I don’t think I will ever use another powder ever again. Try this product if you are in need of a new powder.

How to get a “Bronze Summer Glow” from Laura Mercier

Laura Mercier

Radiance Bronze Primer

Face Illuminator Powder

A month ago I wrote a post here about a 500 point Sephora gift that I got. I ended up loving many things from that box. One of them was the Radiance Bronze Primer. I started to use this in my everyday routine, so I purchased a full bottle. Then this past week I saw the Face Illuminator Powder (which is a limited edition product) and fell in love with that, it is a beautiful hilighter. So, both of these products inspired me to do a “Bronze Summer Glow” post because that is exactly what you get when you use these together. For me, I think the best way to use these products is with my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer because it has the most natural and lightweight summer look. But, I also use it with my normal foundation as well and it still works.

Laura Mercier – Flawless Skin Face Polish

Laura Mercier

Flawless Skin Face Polish

Purchase here!

This cleansing facial scrub by Laura Mercier is my favorite face wash to remove makeup. It has microbeads in it so it exfoliates the skin taking the layer of makeup and dead skin off. It is very gentle and says that it is suitable for all skin types.

Laura Mercier – 500 Point Sephora Gift

500 Point Sephora Gift

Laura Mercier

About a month ago there was a Sephora 500 point gift from Laura Mercier. I love this brand, between Laura Mercier and MAC it is basically all I use. The box had five items in it and I only had used two out of the five products before, the tinted moisture and the lip gloss. So, I got to try out three new products that I will absolutely be repurchasing.

1. Flawless Skin Face Polish

This is my favorite out of the five, I love skin care products. It cleanses and exfoliates your skin, I love the way it feels, like you are really getting a good clean base for your face. I am absolutely going to purchase this in the full size.

2. Foundation Primer – Radiance Bronze

This is perfect for the summer. It comes out of the bottle very dark but once you work in a small amount on your face it leaves your face with a bronzed glow.

3. Tinted Moisturizer – Nude

I already had this product and my normal shade is Porcelain, but since it is summer and I am tan, the Nude matches my skin tone right now.

4. Matte Radiance Baked Powder – Bronze – 03

I really like this powder because it leaves a radiant finish. This is a very dark shade for me so I use a small amount as a contour.

5. Lip Glace – Nectar

I had a Lip Glace before and I loved it because of the smell, and this has the same smell. Also, I am in love with this color for the summer. I plan to purchase this shade in the full size as well.

March Favorites

March, I don’t even remember it looking back. Very busy month. I hardly posted in March because I was writing final papers all month, it’s my own fault I procrastinate too much. I went to an outlet mall this month and a book signing, so that was exciting. This favorites is going to be short but here it is!

Beauty

Beauty Blender – Micro Mini

These are perfect for blending under eye concealer.

Sigma – F80 Flat Kabuki

I love this brush SO much. I don’t even know how I my foundation looked good before this brush. I would recommend this to everyone.

Too Faced – Melted Lipstick in Melted Sugar

I never really stray away from MAC lipsticks but I am glad I did on this one, It wears really well.

Laura Mercier – Secret Brightening Powder

This is one of my favorite makeup products ever. This is perfect for putting on over concealer, it brightens up the under eye so much.

Apparel

Vans -Metallic Leather Slip-On

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate these, I am so in love with them. I saw them and absolutely had to have them. I bought them for a certain even in summer and I can’t wait to wear them!!

Brandy Melville Kimono

This was bought at a PacSun Outlet so unfortunately I can’t find it online.

Books

Shane Dawson – I Hate Myselfie

This was the book signing that I went to. The book was pre signed but I couldn’t stay to meet him. I love Shane Dawson and I love this book, if you have watched any of his videos you would enjoy this book.

I also read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher this month. It was very good! Everyone currently in High School needs to read this book! It is about a girl who commits suicide and leaves a voice recording tape to 13 people that played a part in her suicide.

Music

James Bay’s CD came out this month! It is very good, if you love acoustic music then I would definitely suggest to listen to it.
