A Hairspray You've Got to Try & New Foundation

I have been reading about Elnett hairspray (by L'oreal) in magazines such as Allure for years now. According to the beauty world is a must have for stylists all over the globe, but up until a year or so ago it was only available in Europe. So of course it made women in America that couldn't get their hands on it want it that much more. I was at Target just a couple weeks ago and stumbled upon it. I deliberated for a while, feeling like $14.99 was a bit too much to pay for hairspray (but 40 bucks on a lipstick is totally acceptable of course), I decided it was worth a try. And I must say it is everything I hoped it would be. It sprays out a "micro-mist" that goes on clean, holds well without leaving hair looking stiff, does not leave that nasty white residue...I can go on and on about how awesome it is, but I will stop here. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the smell, it's a bit unpleasant in my opinion. I think I read somewhere that there is now a unscented version. However, I didn't see it where I bought mine. So if you see it somewhere please let me know. I definitely think that if you are willing to shell out $15 on hairspray, give Elnett a shot, you will not be disappointed!

On to other lovely products...I purchased a couple days ago MAC's new Mineralize SPF15 foundation. I bought it in NC 35 (I'm NC 42 in Studio Fix powder) and the color suits me well. Although I can't write a full review on it quite yet b/c I'm still trying it out, so far I'm liking it. It's a med to full coverage, cream formula that gives nice glowy skin. This foundation would definitely work better for those with dry to normal skin. Oily skinned people might find the "dewy" finish of this product to make their skin look greasy. I will update as I keep experimenting with it. Anyone else try this product? Or any other MAC foundations? How do you like them?
