Lost and Found: MAC Trip 5 Neutral Eye Palette

My new "Lost and Found" blog posts will be about old products which I have recently started to reach for and have found a new place in my makeup routine.  

I have been recently loving my MAC Trip 5 Neutral Eyes palette and I just can't get enough of it.  I am a total neutrals girl and on occasion I reach for colour shadows.  However, recently I have reaching for this particular MAC palette and I thought to share my views on it.

I do not think MAC carries this particular palette anymore however I am sure eBay might have some sellers who you can purchase it from.  MAC also has all these shades that can be bought separately in their stores or online.  This palette retailed for $38 and I bought mine at an airport stall.

The quad comes in a rectangular shape container and comes with five neutral shades, four of which have some shimmer to them. The palette also comes with a 213SE MAC brush for application and a huge built in mirror.  This palette comes with the eye shadows Bisque (Matte), Say Yeah (Veluxe Pearl), Sable (Frost), Mineralism (Lustre) and Bateau (Satin).
This palette is small enough to fit into your pocket and any makeup bag for travelling.

The eyeshadows have a good staying power and are pigmented.  

The shadows are versatile and can be used to create numerous eye combinations from day to night look.  

Swatches:

First Impressions: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask

Hello Lovelies!

Today I will be doing a first impressions post on First Aid Beauty's (FAB) Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask.  This product comes in a tube container with 56.7g of product.  This product retails for $30 and I purchased mine at Sephora.

This mask is intended to nourish your distressed skin and rejuvenate it.

How to use: 

Apply a layer of the mask onto your face and wait ten minutes, then rinse off.  Use mask 2-3 times a week.

Impressions: 

I really enjoyed putting this mask on, the consistency is very creamy and the mask contains bits of oatmeal in it.  The mask smells pretty good, doesn't really linger onto to the face after you wash it off.
The mask really moisturized my skin as I just came back from a mini vacation filled with tons of sun exposure and late nights.  I felt like it rescued my skin and brought some of the moisture back into it.  It also left my skin feeling very soft.  One major plus point about this mask was the fact that it did not tingle or burn my skin, putting the mask on felt as if I was applying a moisturizer.  Also, this mask is perfect for sensitive skin!

This is a the first product that I have tried from the FAB line and I am really impressed.  I also heard great things about their Ultra Repair Moisturizer which is on my list of products to try.

Take care!
