Looks Using MAC Sonic Chic and Electroflash, and Dayna's Glows

Here are a couple of looks using the new products from MAC Sonic Chic and Electroflash collections. To recap my previous entry, the pigmentation of the new mineralize eyeshadows is a lot better than the previous releases. I didn't have a hard time achieving the vividness I wanted, and the slip is really velvety and smooth. I used Sonic Chic blush in Gleeful which is one of my favorite mineralize blushes.

I also used my new Minimalist Foundations from LaurEss. I love, love them! I used I think a 50-50 mix of Pure Yellow and Soft Yellow. I used a miniscule amount, a little less than what I would usually use. I thought LaurEss' Original formula was actually the same as Minimalist, but to my eye, I think Minimalist is a tad heavier in coverage, so when I first used it using the same amount I would use with Original, it came off a bit too heavy. I lessened the amount of minerals and I am pleased with the result.

By the way, last Friday, I received a bunch of beautiful samples from Dayna's Minerals. I already have generous samples of her pretty glows, but she wanted me to at least try the rest for me to have an informed decision when I place an order. That was really very nice of her. Apart from her glows, I also received samples of her eyeshadows, some blushes and foundations. By the way, when I went to MAC and this really HOT male MA (think a young Billy Idol wearing a muscle shirt with the platinum blonde spiked hair and thick guy-liner) applied the New View highlighter side on my cheekbone, he asked what illuminizer I was using because it went so well with the skinfinish. I was wearing Dayna's glow in Golden Zephyr.





I am loving the glows. Here is a look featuring one. Also, in this second look, I used the peachy color in the Love Connection mineralize duo as my lid color. It is a pretty neutral eye look and I love the simplicity of it. I also used several of the Neo Sci-Fi shadows in this look.
