Mac vs Clinique


So recently I thought i'd splash out and treat myself on some lovely mac goodies, I bought the studio fix fluid, studio careblend pressed powder and the studio sculpt concealer. I suffer with mega break outs so I like a full coverage, and to my disappointment mac didn't provide that! :( I know everyone rants and raves about the foundation but I didn't like it and I won't be purchasing it again. I got on with the concealer, it was just the powder and liquid foundation. I don't even really know how to explain why I didn't like it, but paying that amount I expected something a lot better than what I got and more of a coverage, I found it just made me look cakey and un-natural.. 


With that I thought I need to find something better, so thought i'd again splash out and took a trip to the clinique counter, I got matched up with my colour and all that jazz and decided on the repairwear anti-aging foundation, although its anti-aging its the fullest coverage they have. You honestly only need the smallest amount for the fullest of coverages :) if I don't set my foundation with a power it lasts about 10 minutes before its all melted off! So I treated myself to the clinique invisible blend face powder, which is colourless so it literally just sets it. It also came with the cutest little compact brush which is good to keep in your handbag! All in all after my two purchases I would seriously recommend clinique over anything! The smell is also sooo much nicer than mac, unless you like to smell like paint (whatever floats your boat) but yes, if you like a full coverage check out cliniques repairwear foundation! so good :)
