First 2013 Haul

After 2 weeks of hospital stay...I was in need of some retail therapy.  It's been awhile since I bought much (if any) makeup at all.  I was surprise to know that MAC repromoted Stereo Rose MSF.  So I have to go out and get myself another one since I sold the one I had.  Then I made a stop at CCO to see what kind of goodies they currently have.  I picked up another Warm Soul blush (because I sold mines...again...LOL), Azalea Blossom blush ombre, and the Step-by-Step Contour Kit by Smashbox.  I was surprise to see Smashbox products in my local CCO now.

Now onto the pictures.

Final thoughts:

This product does indeed even out skin tone and discolorations. The bronzer gives a very natural glow. Coverage is sheer. I'd much rather use the Balance & Brighten as a setting powder. Will use a bit longer before I do a final review.
