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...

Updated: How I currently store my makeup

Hey guys! Back in January, I took everyone through my entire, well majority of my makeup collection. I showed how I used to store my makeup. You can see that original post  here.  I had everything stored in my empty Birchboxes. It was working for a while until I went to two makeup shows and I didn't have a place for everything! As I was cleaning one day, I saw that had this tall storage bin with stuff that I don't even use anymore and thought it would be a great place to store all my makeup and still have it organized. Here is a picture of where my makeup is currently stored. I believe I purchased this 7 drawer unit at Walmart years ago and glad I kept it! It has come in handy. I'll take you through what is in each drawer. I'll start with the top of the unit where all my brushes, setting sprays (that I haven't used yet lol), OCC lip tars( I couldn't find anything to store them in but that red cup lol. I'll have to decorate it later.) and other items...

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over ...
