P&J Cream Foundation Says ---

Cream foundation that is creamy yet translucent, protecting skin from ultraviolet rays and keeping it in beautiful condition.

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• it doesn't cake on
• looks very natural
• dewy finish
• smells nice (not too overwhelming)
• has SPF 15 (yay!)
• a little goes a long way as it's super creamy
  

Cons

• a bit pricey
• the jar is cute but makes it hard to get the product, has to use spatula to keep it from bacteria
• dewy finish could be great but if you've got oily skin, this may make your skin looks oilier (but read further below for my tip, I was told that this can't be use alone and it's TRUE)
  
• according to P&J, this is for medium to heavy coverage. I would say this is for medium coverage only.
  

Overall

A great product from P&J but I find that the packaging makes it hard to tote along. Of course you don't need to reapply your liquid foundation when you're out. But at times you want to bring this to test it to your friends which is a bit of a hassle. Since I am go for a natural dewy look, this is ok for me.

Tips

• I can't stress this more, but use spatula and please PLEASE do not dip your brush or sponge directly
• A little goes a long way, so just start off with less rather than wasting the product
• Always finish up by patting a loose powder (for best result: Really, this is perfect to pat on with any Loose/pressed powder, I find to really LOVE P&J Cream Foundation after you pat this with any powder). I've used this for some wedding looks and it works really well and your face looks absolutely FLAWLESS!
  

Will I repurchase?
Yes! Again, this product is so-so at first but when used together with a face powder, it works wonders! I guess this was made to marry a powder!

This is definitely my love and not so love product and loving it again! Confused? me too... But am I regretful for getting this? NO Is this post helpful? I hope so If not, let me know..I tend to blab blab blab *hugs to all*

Askmewhats Reviews: MAC Sculpting Powder in Lightsweep/Shadester

A lovely product from MAC. I love their Sculpting powder series and I bought the color in Lightsweep/Shadester. I am so sorry guys, I tried taking a pix of it and it just got washed out by the camera flash, if I didn't use a flash, it gets too dark and you can't see anything. Hahaha I may try this again in the future but here's my review on this for now :)

The above picture is the darker one which is the "shadester" . As the name implies, you use it to go shade some ares of your face or we COUNTOUR with it. I use this best on the cheekbones, nose bridge area, and to those who's got a wide forward, I dust it on the forehead as well. This looks very natural!

This would be the "lightsweep" or the lighter version. This has very small shimmer that's best to use as highlighter. I use this to highlight the area where the sun hits the face :) I also use this under the eyes, as it makes your eyes brighter.

Overall, I am so happy I bought this product. With this 2-in-1 product, I don't need to buy a separate Contouring and Highlighting powder.

I know a lot of fellow beauty bloggers have their Sculpting powder.
How do you like it?
Any more tips where I can use this for? (as I know you can use it to create a deeper cleavage as well) --- hahahha I haven't tried it ok!!!! hahahha
