Raizin = WOC Must Have!

Raizin has got to be my favorite MAC blush ever. It was my first "real" blush. I wore it straight for about 2 years before adding more blushes to my collection. When I hit pan, I quickly repurchased. I really hope MAC never DC's this. Like NARS Orgasm is to fair skin Raizin is is to WOC. MAC blushes in general are great. Great lasting power, pigmented, the price point isn't super expensive, and the product lasts for awhile. Like I said, I wore Raizin for 2 years straight and then on and off for another year and barely hit pan this year. The cons are that when you are getting to the last tiny bits of the product, it crumbles.

Perfection

I've never been a fan of powder foundations. I always thought they looked cakey on most people. This foundation changed my mind. When you first apply this foundation it looks ashy and just whack like someone previously stated. But after you finish applying the rest of your face, it all comes together. I absolutely look flawless. I like to apply it with the sponge that comes with it and them buff it out with a kabuki brush. The coverage is definitely buildable. I recommend this to those with combo or oily skin. Occasionally I'll set this with MAC MSFN natural just for an added glow. I use a 218 in the summer and 216 in the winter.

Tinted Moisturizer in Powder Form

I love MSFN, it's definitely one of those products that you hope MAC never discontinues. It's great to set your foundation.. I've used it for powder and liquid foundations. You can also use it alone, it's like a tinted moisturizer in powder form. Covers just enough but never heavy. It gives you a great natural glow without looking like a disco ball. Definitely a staple in anyone's makeup bag.

I'm a huge fan of Ecotool brushes but this was a disappointment. The bristles are way too flimsy to apply loose powder. It does wash well and doesn't shed but that's pretty much useless when you can't use it in the first place. Save your money on this one.

I use this brush daily. I don't use it as a bronzer brush, however. I use it to buff in loose/pressed powder or foundation. It's very soft and keeps it shape through wash after wash. I'm very impressed.

This brush can be used for powder or blush. It's very dense and very soft. I've washed this brush countless of times and it's still soft and hasn't shed one hair. Great buy if you are like me and hate spending a ton of money on brushes.

I use these eyeshadows much more than using my high end e/s. Great pigmentation with or without a primer. Pro: They do have fallout, can easily be avoided with tapping off excess product. Tip: Stock up when your favorite drugstore has BOGO sales.
