Thursday Reviews: Setting Powders

Happy Thursday! Can you believe that September is here?? That means it's time for football, pumpkins, Fall makeup and fashion!! Today's review is going to be on a couple setting powders that I have been trying out. I never used to set my under eye concealer and with this craze of setting powders and highlighting, I couldn't resist!! Let's get into the reviews!



Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Banana


This is the most talked about setting powder! I have heard everyone and their mother talking about this! This was one of the first setting powders that I purchased. I got this the first year I went to The Makeup Show Holiday Pop Up. Funny thing is, this sat for a while before I picked it up and used it. I was a little afraid of using it and thought it was going to be too bright for me. I actually really liked this. I'm still getting used to the whole highlighted look but this is pretty good one. You just have to be careful of how much you use or it can be too bright.

Makeup Forever Micro HD Powder


I got this setting powder from Sephora after racking up 100 points. This was the first translucent powder I've tried out. This little jar has a lot of product and will last me for a while. This is my second favorite setting powder. I really like how subtle the highlight was and how well it set my concealer. I would most likely purchase the full size.

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder


This is my favorite setting powder that I've tried out so far. This has to be the second most talked about powder. I love how flawless and highlighted my under eye area looks and how my concealer doesn't crease at all. This setting powder is just amazing!!

I would like to try the Sasha Buttercup powder sometime soon because it is another one that is highly raved about.

So that is it for the review on setting powders. What is your favorite one? Have you tried any of the ones mentioned? Comment below and let me know. Hope you enjoy the holiday weekend and see you guys Sunday.

Can't believe Summer is just about over, I didn't get to the beach one time!

My little guy starts back to school next week! He'll be going to Pre K4!

I'm excited about going to my college's friend's wedding this weekend. I'll get to see my girls that I cheered with in college!!

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...

Make Beauty Review*

Happy Friday beauty lovers! I hope you have been enjoying Winter again lol! I hope Mother Nature gets it together soon lol. Today I am bringing you another review powered by BrandBacker! *I was sent these products for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the reviews! *Powered By BrandBacker* I was pretty excited when I was picked for this campaign. I have tried a Make Beauty eyeshadow before and loved it. Honestly, I was expecting the samples to be a little bigger. I was a little disappointed in the lipstick sample, it was hard to use. It kept breaking when I was trying to apply it. Make Beauty is a very new company to me that I was introduced to through Birchbox.  They have just about everything from eyeshadows to contour kits. They also have a line for skincare as well. Alabaster Eyeshadow This shadow on the Make Beauty site is described as a soft eggshell with peach undertones. This shadow is a matte and can be used as a brow ...

No Buy is Officially Over!!

Yay!! I survived 2 months without a single makeup purchase!! I am so proud of myself and knew I had the will power to do it!! It really helped me staying out of Sephora, Ulta and Mac, the usual places that get me in trouble lol! When I went into Target or Walmart, I wouldn't even go near the makeup section. Funny thing is, I haven't run to the store yet to purchase anything on my wish list yet but I will soon. You can see what is on my wish list here.  After organizing my makeup, I realized I have a lot of products that I don't use and need to try out soon. I'm going to try to really shop my stash before running out and buying something new. Maybe next time, I will go for a 3 month no buy!! Have you successfully completed a no buy? What is currently on your wish list? Comment below and let me know!! ~** Drea Notes**~ We went to the beach today and I'm so glad we did! It was such a fun day with the family!! I'm trying to get back to working out lol!  ...
