What can I say...This is my most used palette, I use it every single day especially Virgin for highlight or naked for blending. This has been Urban Decay's Best Seller Palette and reviews on line are countless... Now I know why... =) and I still prefer this palette compare to the Naked 2.

Application>>>


A pea size is good enough to cover my entire face, I spray a little of avene thermal spray onto my flat top brush and blend the bb cream.

Pros

• Very good coverage
• High SPF
• Good oil control
• Very good staying power, semi waterproof
• A little goes a long way

Cons

• The texture is quite thick that it makes it hard to blend
• Available only in 1 shade (would suit NC20-35)
• Settles into fine lines when used without moisturizer underneath
• Would've been better if there's a pump. It's pretty messy dispensing this stuff

This is a great all in one product, you get a good amount of SPF, coverage and  moisturizing properties. As per whitening and healing properties, that I can't say anything about since I've been using other whitening products too. Dr. Jart is one of the high-end bb creams in the market so the price maybe a bit steep but this would last you forever. If you've tried Missha perfect cover, it's pretty similar with Dr. Jart, the texture and the coverage is the same, has demi matte finish and both have grayish cast that disappears usually after an hour or so. If you find this stuff too thick for your liking, try adding few drops of your favorite moisturizer.

This was my first blush from MAC, and has always been one of favorites. It's one of my "go to" blush as this really compliments my skin tone, giving my cheeks a right amount of flush and sheen. I've had this stuff for almost 2 years now and I still haven't flatten the surface yet, this would last me forever. If you wanna try MAC blush and unsure what shade to get, you'll never go wrong with Dainty coz' it's universally flattering. This is a light peachy pink w/ some flecks of very tiny gold may be visible but when applied to cheeks it's definitely undetectable. Such a pretty color.
