review on the Clinque Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Pressed Powder

a few sephora packages ago, i received a small sample of this powder. i was super excited because anything that takes care of redness perks my interest quite a bit. my cheeks are red, i'm not sure if it is rosacea or what, but it's what i'm dealing with. needless to say, i found that this power really works! it seems to work best with foundation, then this powder. i have worn it without foundation a few times and it was still good coverage, but with foundation is better. the only problem is too much of this powder can make you look ghostly. not pale, i mean white. so, don't pack it on so much and you'll be fine! here are some photos of the product itself:
it seems like there's a lot of product in here, so hopefully i'll get my 32.50 worth!
there's a compartment underneath with a little brush. i haven't used it yet (i use a fluffy brush) but for someone who doesn't have a brush, it's a nice little addition. 

i have some before and after photos, that shows quite a difference in the redness in my cheeks. these were taken without foundation.
before...
after!
so far, i'm pleased with this product. i'm glad i got the sample, because i'd probably never have found out about it. my only problem is the price, but it seems to work for me so i guess the 32 bucks doesn't matter too much! if i bought it, and it didn't work...then i would be pissed. haahaha. but, pick it up if you suffer from redness! i don't think you'll be disappointed :] thanks for reading!

maybelline illegal lengths mascara!

i picked up this mascara like a week ago at Rite Aid. i was on the hunt for all the new maybelline products! the formulation of this mascara is very similar to other maybelline mascaras, kind of wet. but workable.
the brush really isn't too special, but i wanted to get a good picture for you. the bristles are plastic, but not stiff plastic. they have a moldable feel.
i have a before and after picture of my lashes, it does awesome for lengthening!
before....
after!
the only downfall about this mascara is that it flakes and smudges after a long time of wearing it (like 10 hours) but i would definitely still buy this mascara, i am a collector of mascaras:] just look at the length it gives!

thanks for reading<3
