PRODUCT REVIEW: Miaoou Makeup Style, Magic Finish, Cooked Powder

 
 
 
I was looking for some new products to try, when I came across this product, I've never heard of the brand before but it looked like something I wanted to try so I bought it and gave it a whirl.
 
It's a tan shimmery cooked power, I use it for highlighting my face, I really like how dewy it makes your skin, but if you put to much on it looks terrible like your shining and its really easy to get a lot on your brush, so I recommend shaking a bit off before applying to your face.
 
 
 
It has a variety of different colors all mashed together and is extremely shimmery, the powder was in between loose powder and pressed, which is cooked, I did have to smudge some of it off my face because I kept putting too much on even with just one brush stroke, so do maybe even half a brush stroke or just catch a wee bit of the powder instead if a whole brush stoke.
 
 
The packaging of this product was kinda cheap, it was really flimsy plastic and I always have a hard time trying to open it the lid, if you were to drop it on like a tile floor I could see the case breaking for sure.
 
 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pros and Cons
 
I really liked this pressed highlighting powder, but it seems to be a little too shimmery for me, also I was having the hardest time trying to get just the right amount on my brush.
 
I also thought the packaging was way to cheap, and broke break if dropped it, the quality of the product was also very poor.
 
 
I like that it works great for highlighting but I would choose something with a little less shimmer in it, I don't want to be going out looking like a Christmas tree ornament.
 
 
My Conclusion
 
I liked it as a highlighter but wont be using it all the time.

COSMETIC CLEARANCE CENTER BARRIE



Hey guys so I wanted to tell you about this place in Barrie called Cosmetic Clearance Center, its on the left on st Vincent street, it's in a old looking warehouse they have tons of signs saying clearance and stuff like that, anyway I checked it out the other day as I heard they have some pretty good stuff.

They have tons of nail polish and nail stuff and tons of sally Hanson products along with tons of other stuff, the place is a bit sketchy at first but the people were super nice and the deals were so good.

Most things I seen were priced at about 4 bucks including nail polish and makeup brushes, they also had some mascara for 4 bucks too

I did see some MAC makeup in the glass display at the front but didn't see any prices I heard it's about 80% off the regular price.

Also tons of discount perfume and lip products!


So check it out you can get some good deals on makeup I bought 5 items and it cost me about 16 dollars so I was smiling ear to ear heheheh
