Mineral Liquid Powder Foundation Review

Mineral Liquid Powder Foundation in Tender Beige-
"Oil Free, Hypoallergenic
This self-setting foundation and powder in one is infused with powerful antioxidants and minerals that protect and hydrate skin." 
"Oil-free formula that enhances complexion without covering up skin, providing a soft powder finish. Multi-mineral complex provides anti-oxidant protection and conditions skin. Micro-diffusers keep skin looking flawless after cleansing, apply a small amount over entire face using fingertips or foundation brush." 

This is by far, my favorite foundation. I have dry skin. I don't get zits or break out, ever. But I do have really red skin. My cheeks and nose especially, are completely red. This foundation is medium coverage, but it covers up most of the redness, and it's definitely buildable. I don't need maximum coverage, because like I said, I don't break out. With this foundation, I literally use less than a dime size amount and it covers my whole face. I use about as much as shown in the picture above and it covers most of the redness on my face. 
As said in the description, this is a self-setting foundation. So you don't need to powder over it. It gives the most flawless coverage, better than any foundation I've tried. 
I've had this tube for about 7 months I think? and it's still goin strong. It has literally lasted me forever, and the coverage stays all day long.
This foundation also has SPF 15, so it protects your skin from UV. Also, since using this foundation, I have noticed my dry patches reducing. My skin has benefited from using this product, and I couldnt be happier with it. The color matches my skin perfectly. There are 12 different color selections for this, so literally any skin tone would be able to wear this. 
I would recommend this to every skin type. It's an oil-free foundation for oily skin, but also hydrates dry skin. You also don't need to powder and set this, so you don't get that powdery looking finish. 
This product is absolutely great, and after using many other foundations, I still find this one to be my favorite. 
If I could recommend to anyone one product, it would most definitely be this one! AMAZING. Holy grail foundation.

Christmas Pink Papaya Haul!! :)


My mom was soooo generous and decided to get me a few things off of my Pink Papaya wish list :) 
Lip Stain in Berry Berry Lippy-
This stain is succcchhhh a pretty color! I'd describe it just like the name says. It's a dark, red, pinky berry color. I wore this on Christmas day, and it stayed all day. It kinda feels like a jelly consistency in the pot. You do not need very much of this to get a berry color, but you can definitely build it up to get a darker berry. I absolutely love this color. Definitely my new favorite berry lip product! 
 Cremewear Eyeshadow in Ice Queen-
Oh my gosh, this color is GORGEOUS. It's a very shimmery ice white. There are no sparkles, it's shimmer. This is a great inner corner color. You could also use this for a base color, to lighten up a look. I also used this on christmas day because I couldn't wait to use it. I used it in the inner corner and I absolutely loved it! 
 Cremewear Blush in Nutty Berry-
I love the consistency of this blush. It's very easy to apply, and I love the color. There are tiny specks of glitter in it, but I personally don't mind a glittery blush if they're very small pieces. The glitter have kind of iridescence of blue, green, and pink. This may sound kind of weird for a blush, but it makes the overall color of the blush beautiful. This product is so creamy. Loveee itttt
 Mineral Blush in Coral Sun-
Ahhh, the perfect coral blush. This one also has very small specks of SHIMMER, not glitter. This blush is the perfect combo of pink and orange. It's very wearable, and blend-able. I find it kind of hard to wear corals with my skin tone, but this one looks fantastic. 
 Polychromatic Shadow in Naughty Blue- 
The most beautiful blue shadow I have ever seen. It's a very deep, shimmery navy blue. The shimmer has a silver tint, so it lightens it up quite a little bit. As you can see in the swatch below, when the light hits it, it's absolutely gorgeous. I don't usually go for blue shadows because I have green/brown eyes (more brown), but I'm so glad my mom picked this out for me. So friggin pretty! 
Botanical Shadow Primer - 
I haven't even opened this yet, so I can't give a first impression yet. But I'll be doing a review on it sometime in the future. Sorry guys! <3


 I am so greatful for my mom. She really knows what I like, and she didnt have to get all these for me. She's so thoughful, and I love her so much. I would recommend any of these products to everyone! The color payoff on each is amazing! If you would like to check any of these out, please feel free to go to the Pink Papaya website here.

This blog is not to brag in any way. I know I do have quite a few products from Pink Papaya, but I have bought these products with my money, or they were gifts payed by my mom. We do not get any products free. This is purely to give honest reviews of the products, and get this brand out there. I would recommend almost every one of these products. 
Pink Papaya products are made in the USA, NOT tested on animals, all paraben free, and all natural. 
I hope you guys enjoy my reviews, and find them helpful. And hopefully try some of these products out! I promise, you wont regret it :) 


Hello Lovelies! 
So my mom is a consultant for an amazing company called Pink Papaya. Their products are all natural, paraben free, and great for the skin. This brand is not very well known at all, so I thought I would share these amazing products with everyone. This is by far, my absolute favorite brand. It's right up there with Mac, Nars, Benefit, Dior, Chanel, and many other high end brand. So of course, the prices are going to be a little high, but for the quality of the products, I honestly have no problem paying the extra money. This blog is to give reviews, and show what kinds of stuff they have, but to also hopefully get these products out there and be known. They really are the some of the best products I have ever tried. I'm not just saying this because my mom sells it, or that I just want to get people to buy from her. There are many consultants everywhere that you could buy from. These products just deserve to be known. 
I have been using Pink Papaya for a couple months now, and I think I could give an honest, genuine opinion about the quality of the products. I hope this helps anyone who is interested in trying out new products, and everyone who hasn't heard of Pink Papaya.
