MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

Here is the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish that I use with the Stila Beauty Balm.  This Skinfinish is excellent paired with the Stila Beauty Balm or simply by itself.  It leaves my face feeling silky smooth.  Mine is in the color Medium Plus.

I have been using this for years now.  I find that the MAC 150 brush is perfect for the application.  My MAC 150 brush has been in regular use for about 3 or 4 years now and it is an excellent powder brush.  If you take proper care of your brushes you will have them for years and years.  They are a bit spendy but they are worth every penny.  It sheds a hair here and there every now and then, but that is to be expected.  The brushes are made with the finest quality materials and they have definitely held up to the test of time.

 As you can see, my Skinfinish has been well loved.  

The combination of the Skinfinish and the Stila beauty balm are amazing and it's my go-to routine.  

You can purchase the MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural here for $30.00.  The large powder brush 150 can also be purchased for $42.00 here.  MAC has several different colors for you to choose from and I would recommend going to a MAC counter to get face matched to your perfect color.

Stila HD Beauty Balm

This beauty balm is perfect for summer or for anyone who enjoys a light coverage in the summer.  I was first introduced to the Stila Beauty Balm by my oldest daughter, Paige.  I noticed that her face looked flawless and i asked her what foundation she was wearing and she mentioned this beauty balm along with MAC Mineralized Skin Finish.

I immediately went out and purchased it and let me tell you it does not disappoint.  I have sensitive skin and this balm treats it with kindness.  I have read some reviews where people complain about breakouts after using this product but I have been using this for some time now and I have not had any problems.  The coverage is perfect for me.  I have blotches of redness in my face and this covers it beautifully.  Another perk of this is that it comes in one color that seems to match perfectly to its user.  This is great for summertime light coverage.  Love, love, love!

In all fairness to other beauty balms this is the only one that I have ever tried.  Why mess with a good thing?  Right!?  I have noticed that Stila has come out with a new beauty balm that contains SPF 30 that I'm interesting in trying out.  I will keep you all posted.

Stila Beauty Balm can be purchased for $38.00 here.  I got mine at Ulta but you can also pick it up at Sephora.
