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.

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

Naturalle Drea Is.....

I have been back and forth about this for a while. The end goal of this blog and my brand that I'm trying to build is success. I have been just trying to figure out my next moves and what steps to take next. This particular move scared me a bit but I feel like I need to take that step out of faith and fully jump into this. You know the saying, if your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough.  Starting August 2nd, Naturalle Drea is will be moving to Word Press and officially naturalledrea.com! I am excited for this move and so thankful for those who started this journey here with me! I started this platform as outlet for myself to talk about the things I love and I have grown and learned so much from when I started over 4 years ago. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I first started but I fell in love with writing and creating content. I never thought I would start a Youtube channel either and I love creating videos (except for editing late at nig

My Blogging and Personal Goals

Hey guys! Lately things have been crazy and hectic and just too crazy. I've been driving myself crazy thinking about too much and stressing out. So I was at work one day and this post popped in my head. I'm setting personal and blogging goals for myself to bring some order to my life and will be doing updates every month for the next 6 months to a year. Let's start with my blogging goals. Set a Blogging Schedule I blog whenever I have a day off or free time and it's always on different days. I want to set a schedule so I can be more prepared and not get behind on posting. I know that life happens and you can't help that sometimes but I feel if I want to be successful at this, I need to be a little more organized. Change Up the Style My blog is still going through changes and will be complete sometime soon. I also want to change the style of my blog a little bit. I've been doing some research and hopefully these are good changes!! Learn More about Blogg
