Yellows, Neutrals, and Revisiting Monave

Don't you hate it when you find a mineral foundation so flawless and beautiful on your skin, only for it to slide off your face a few hours later? Many of you mineral makeup enthusiasts have read my review that Monave has reproduced on its website. Let me say that I still stand by those statements to this day. Monave for me is still the king of all mineral makeup when it comes to staying power. It stays on a whopping 12 to 14 hours on me without retouching with anything but blotting sheets, and without using any moisture spray to set the minerals. I love the medium to heavy coverage, the natural look, and the amazing staying power. I laid low on Monave for a while because I was just enjoying sampling from other mineral makeup companies, and because I thought it would feel too heavy during the intense summer heat. I was wrong because it felt very natural, without any itchies and without feeling like I was wearing a mask. Over-all, Monave is still in my top 3 mineral foundations. I also adore Monave's sheer lipglazes. The texture is smooth and even, with just the right balance of pigment and shine. Monave has absolutely amazing products.

Here is another EOTD using MAC's shadows in Going Bananas and Firespot from the two consecutive MAC collections of Moonbathe and C-Shock. I'd like to believe they go well together.
