A mini SN haul...


I was in a hurry when I placed my "gumball" order (since they usually sell out in minutes), and I forgot to include a full size of Devoted, so I placed a small order. ;)



I tossed in just a couple of lippies... Mirabelle and Temptation.



I can't believe I almost overlooked these two! They are so pretty! Mirabelle is a gorgeous blend of peach and coral pink with a hint of shimmer, while Temptation is a coral red with some golden shimmer. They do look a bit similar, but Mirabelle is more pinkish, and the shimmer in it looks silver instead of gold.



I loved the cream blushes I previously ordered so I decided to get Devoted as well to match Truly, which has become one of my favorites lately.



I requested Go as my free eye shadow this time.



And the GWP for that week was Trip.



Go is a brilliant shade of mint green with some shimmer. Trip is a nice shimmery light moss green. And Devoted is a pretty coral shade with just a hint of shimmer.



They also sent me a free sample of Poly. I already own Poly, but I love free samples, so I'm still happy to receive one.



Poly is one of my favorite SN eye colors. It's a dupe of MAC's Parrot. It's a gorgeous teal color with a bit of blue and green shimmer.



Finally, I also ordered a jar of Ultra Sheer Zinc Finishing Powder (results TBA). I was a bit surprised to see that the jar was only half full... but I checked the site and read that, "You get one tablespoon in a 30-gram jar." So, it's all good.



I heard Zinc is a highly effective sunscreen, so I'd like to try using it this summer.

Have you tried using Zinc powder? How did you like it? And what kind of sun protection do you use for your face?

  1. I've been trying to add some color to mine so that I can use it, so I've been using a tiny scoop & mixing in different powders like, tempted tryst, date bait etc. to find the right combo for me.

    It does protect your skin from the sun. I put it on over moisturizer by itself the other day when I went for a walk with the dog. I realized I missed a spot when I got home & found a red streak on my face. LOL!

    I really liked the EDM Natural Reflections, so I'm trying to get something similar.

  2. Thanks, Hoyden! It's really good to know that it gives you sun protection. I'm gonna try to tint mine with some foundation base. I haven't tried their perfecting powder yet, but I'm adding a few samples to my cart for later. :)
