Mac Naked Honey Collection Review and Swatches

Mac Naked Honey Collection Review and Swatches. Love the smell of honey then you'll get addicted to the new Mac Naked Honey Collection. I really adore the idea mac had behind this collection and the only thing that could have made it that much better was by adding a facial mask. Nonetheless it was still a great collection. I picked up two lip glosses, the body wash, lotion, and all three eyeshadows. Check out my swatches and my review below.

Lips: Buzz Lipgloss

Swatch of Lipgloss Buzz



Swatches of Golden Nectar High Light Powder Overspray, Without Overspray



Review of Naked Honey Body Wash: This little baby smells divine just by opening the bottle and when you shower with it, it's so good. The smell is one that I can't quite put my finger on it's not quite honey but something else. It smells good even though it doesn't really smell like honey and it lathers up pretty well in the shower. I would suggest getting it if you're looking for something new. ( Like a new scent)

Review of Naked Honey Body Cream: The body cream smells just like the body wash good but not quite like honey. It's smooth and goes on light and it's your basic body cream that you would get that contains a nice scent to it.

Mac Naked Honey Collection Overall Review: For a small Mac collection I love all three of the eyeshadows and the Mac Lipgloss in Buzz is such a pretty summer color. The design for the mac high light powder is very cleaver and golden nectar creates an amazing summer glow to the cheek. Looking for the honey scent in the collection ? Pick up the fragrances both smell good and like honey.

Bare Minerals Tinted Illuminating Mineral Veil Review

Bare Minerals Tinted Illuminating Mineral Veil Review. For those of you who read my blog frequently you know that I love and adore could not live without my tinted mineral veil. Its my biggest beauty product. Last month I believe Bare Minerals was on qvc celebrating its anniversary and I picked up the Tinted Illuminating Mineral Veil. If you're not sure what mineral veil does it gets rid of the oily parts on my skin and its great all year round and perfect for summer days. If your skin is oily often you should really try mineral veil.

What Bare Minerals Says It Does:
Tinted Feather Light Mineral Veil is completely sheer and versatile enough for all skin tones. It provides a soft glow with a hint of warm tint and keeps skin looking photo-fabulous all day long. Light-refracting pearls float over your complexion with weightless transparency for a radiant, delicately ethereal softness. It's a complexion perfectionist. 100% pure bareMinerals offers the ultimate, translucent finishing touch with a hint of warm tint to your makeup. Feather-light, completely sheer, and versatile, it morphs into skin, infusing it with softness and light for a dewy, soft-focus finish. It absorbs excess oil, minimizes the appearance of pores, and keeps skin soft and fresh. So sheer, it works for all skin tones.

What I Say It Does:
Overall this is a very nice product to have if you want a soft glow for special events like prom, a wedding, a date or some type of party. I would not recommend it for every day use because it creates such a soft glow that It only makes sense to wear it for special occasions. Like the original it gets rid of oily spots (without making your skin look dry) and it gives a nice tint to my skin but it also creates a heavenly glow. I will stick to the regular tinted mineral veil for everyday use and use the illuminating one for special days. It work for all skin tones and creates a dewy look while getting rid of oil. As far as minimizing pores I did not personally experience that but its still a great product for getting rid of oil. If you love the results you can pickup one from qvc.
