Ben Nye Makeup Review

So, if I can't do tutorials, I can still do reviews, right?

I just want to reiterate that I do like MAC products. I *love* a lot of their products. I just think that they keep repeating the same colors, they launch WAY too many Limited Editions, and I feel like people have gotten a little MAC obsessed. (Hey, I used to be that way too!) But there are plenty of other cheaper options out there that are just as good as MAC.

For example...

Ben Nye makes INCREDIBLE Makeup, and has been doing so since 1967. Their original focus was on Theatrical makeup, but they've since developed products that anyone, anywhere can use. I LOVE Ben Nye and use their products daily. (Or at least every day that I wear makeup!)

Products mentioned:
Ben Nye Grand Lumiere Palette
Ben Nye Lumiere Creme Wheel
Ben Nye Fireworks Wheel
Ben Nye Pressed Eyeshadows in Mossberry and Violeta
Ben Nye Cake Eyeliner (The best and easiest to use liner ever!)
Ben Nye Transluscent Setting Powder
Ben Nye Pearl Sheen Eyeshadow in Sea Blue

Also, I ran out of time before I got to mention the Ben Nye Final Seal. It's kind of like Benefit's She-Lac, but infinitely better. It's a minty scented liquid sealant that you spritz on after you've completed your makeup. It works FABULOUSLY. I don't use it every time I put on makeup, but for special occasions--or for times that you might be worried about your makeup fading/smearing/smudging (like if you get a little sweaty)--it's fantastic. There's no icky sticky feeling or residue...it just seals your makeup and makes it last *all day*. I think it's supposed to be somewhat sweat resistant, too. I highly recommend it, and one of the small bottles will last a LONG time.

I'm more than likely going to continue do to a few videos of this sort, because I do have a bit of a makeup obsession. I hope that one day I'll actually be able to make a tutorial, but for right now I guess I'll focus more on product reviews. (I need to set up different playlists within my channel, I think.)
