flawless beauty: HD Complexion Travel Kit

when it comes to makeup, HD is where its at. my favorite brand for these formulations? Make Up For Ever, of course. i love this line! my last purchase: the HD Complexion Travel Kit.

in this kit you'll find three MUFE travel-size, best-selling HD products: HD Elixir (a gel serum that boosts skin's moisture and keeps it hydrated all day), HD Microperfecting Primer #0 Neutral (this oil-free, silicone-free base helps support foundation for a long-lasting, smooth effect) and HD Microfinish Powder (made of 100% mineral silica powder, gives skin the best soft-focus effect).

all of these products work well on their own, but together are a winning beauty team! the sizes are small, but worth the price. so, if you've been curious about trying any of these gems, this kit is the way to go.

fing the MUFE HD Complexion Travel Kit is at Sephora and sephora.com.

Stila Hydrating Finishing Powder

when it comes to makeup, i have fallen in love with Stila. i am especially loving their Hydrating Finishing Powder, a lightweight, translucent powder (olive, tan and brown skin beauties, don't let the light color fool you, this is invisible) that sets my foundation and leaves my skin looking amazing thanks to it's micro-encapsulated ectoin that gives time-released hydration to the skin.

Hydrating Finishing Powder works for all skin types; it absorbs oil and protects with meadow seed extract for antioxidant protection. my only gripe is the packaging. it has a mirror, but i can't use it since powder gets on it every time i close the lid to shake out more powder. also, there's nowhere to tap off the excess powder, so i have to be careful not to load up my fluffy brush with too much product for fear of wasting it. since i love the results so much, i'll continue to use it and will definitely be buying this when it runs out!

many thanks to Stila for giving me the opportunity to try Hydrating Finishing Powder! visit your local Stila beauty counter or stilacosmetics.com for more info.
