Halo to Go!

If you are curious about the much hyped Halo powder from Smashbox, here is your chance to try it out.

This Smashbox Halo to Go size is perfect, comes in all four shades, and even includes the perfect Kabuki brush to apply it with.

The powder is billed as a perfecting and hydrating powder.

I have yet to try it, though I soon will be as I just ordered this Today's Special Value from QVC. Today only, this beauty is $32.48. I ordered the powder in the medium shade for summer. The amount you get seems generous enough (1/4 oz.) to give it a good, thorough test out.

From the QVC.com description:

All girls know how important the powder is for that final touch of your makeup. And for me a powder that hydrates your skin throughout the day seems like a dream. I've been trying all kinds of products and still haven't found one to completely satisfy me. But the promises that you make about this powder got my attention so I will surely try it and let you know what I think about it. Thanks!

you're right, i definitely think that powder is soooo important....and it's true that the main problem with powder is that it dries you up totally...i hope this product delivers on it's promises...i'm sure it does !

Benedicte - Please do update with your thoughts on the powder after you try it.

Fit Gizmos - The fact that the powder is moisturizing with it's infusion of water should make it not be drying at all.

How on this good green earth did I miss this. I guess I need to check your site on a more regular basis. Now I am going to have to go and order it full size. Good thing about Sephora is that they will take it back if I don't like it, which is a really great store quality.
