Hydrate With Halo

I’m always on the lookout for a good powder, since it’s so hard to find one that I like. Either they’re too dark or too matte or too… something to make me completely satisfied. But I’m happy to report that I’ve recently found a powder I can’t find one thing wrong with.

Smashbox’s Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder is my new holy grail powder that I can’t live without. While it looks like an ordinary powder, its packed full of ingredients that reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and its anti-aging formula contains pure gold, 48 (!) different minerals, 11 amino acids and a peptide. The oil-free formula also has a hydration system that keeps the powder working all day, so your skin looks as good when you first put it on as it does hours later. I love the way it looks on me – it doesn’t give my skin the chalky effect some powders do, and it seems almost like a highlighter because it makes it glow a little. Wearing it just makes me look healthier somehow, which is a look I’m totally into. Besides the fact that the product really works, I also love it because it comes in the coolest packaging. It’s a pressed powder in the compact, but when you twist it, the built in shaver turns it into a loose powder, so you get the best of both worlds. Kudos to whoever thought of that!

The Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder is available in four shades and retails for $59. Get yours at Sephora.com or Beauty.com.
