The last few posts where I talked about MAC makeup being suitable for women over 35 created a bit of controversy because younger readers felt there was no age limit to using MAC Cosmetics. I could not agree with them more and although a large chunk of my readers are over 35, I’ve found lately that many readers are in their early 30s and a number in their 20s.

So, moving forward, I’ll open up things more to include all of my readers!

So back to MAC Cosmetics!

I quite like MAC. It’s not only a line that offers every possible shade of makeup on the planet, it’s always been recession-proof, the quality/price ratio is unsurpassable and since it’s THE ULTIMATE Canadian success story, you can see why I never hesitate to feature MAC products!

I’ve been using a few new MAC products that I thought I’d share with you!

1) MAC Cosmetics’ Mineralize Skinfinish Natural: If you’ve been reading my site for a while, you’ll know that I have NO luck with “traditional” mineral makeup. My product reviewers Eleni and Daphne and one of my good friends Krista swear by Pür Mineral makeup, but I still have not been able to find a shade of mineral makeup on the market that doesn’t make me look sick or ashy.

You can read about my mineral makeup debacles here:

All my girlfriends and my reviewers love Pür Minerals make-up

When I met Senior Artist Jane McKay for a little MAC education back in November of last year, she introduced me to the magic of MAC Cosmetics’ Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. I was quite skeptical and I even told her that I doubted this makeup will work on me because I’m not that lucky when it comes to finding the right shade of mineral makeup.

Well, I’m happy I let Jane work her magic on my face because after trying the MAC Cosmetics’ Mineralize Skinfinish Natural AND going to the gym after meeting her, my makeup looked amazing.

Since then I’ve tried the MAC Cosmetics’ Mineralize Skinfinish Natural on a regular basis and I sometimes forget that I’m actually wearing it because it looks sooooooooooooo natural!

What I like about the MAC Cosmetics’ Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (over and above the fact that the shade is dead on) is that fact that I find that throughout the day, my face won’t shine! It’s almost as if I had just applied my makeup at 3 p.m. even when that’s not the case!

The MAC Cosmetics’ Mineralize Skinfinish Natural retails for $30 CAD/ $ 25 US and it’s well worth it!

I’m so tickled pink by this product that I will just go ahead and give it a few stars. I don’t usually do this for makeup reviews, but this product from MAC is a winner in my book!

OVERALL REVIEW: I LOVED it and I’m never giving it up!

2) Fix your makeup so it stays put all day with MAC Cosmetics Fix+

As you know, I’m a five-minute makeup kind of girl because I’m juggling two Web sites and a number of clients (as my day job)! Meeting friends or running to a meeting usually means I barely have time to apply mascara.

Whenever I have to meet makeup artists who are willing to glam me up, I’m always excited.

After Jane McKay had giving me a perfect face, she applied a spray to finish my makeup. Now that was a new concept for me and I had to learn more.

Fix+ is designed to set your makeup for the entire day. It’s a light spray of vitamins, minerals, green tea, chamomile and cucumber to add moisture to the skin.

Jane said this is a MUST HAVE for any frequent travellers because it protects your skin from dehydration!

I love the concept of setting my makeup while adding some much need moisture … especially when it’s super dry outside.

MAC Cosmetics Fix+ retails for $22 CAD/ $ 16 US and the 100 ml/3.4 oz bottle will last you quite a long time.

OVERALL REVIEW: It’s a keeper!
