I think that this powder might just revolutionize the way we think of our complexions. I think we can all agree that we want to look as flawless as possible, and flawless (as close to it) is what you get from this new amazing powder. This is Make Up For Ever High Definition Powder.

This powder is a completely universal, unbelievable, must-have product for any and every skin tone. You really need to see and feel this to believe it. Even more exciting is that this powder is the first formulation in Make Up For Ever's complete HD Collection.

This formula is incredibly soft and satiny and uses ultra fine, spherical micro-particles made of 100% Mineral Silica Powder. These extremely refined, round micro-particles allow natural and artificial light to reflect off of them, thereby softening and ultimately masking lines and imperfections for a perfect, radiant complexion on
screen and in real life.

Tested by professionals in front of HD cameras, the satin textured HD Powder not only sets foundation and slightly mattifies skin, but completely evens out the complexion for a glowing, radiant look. While the powder is a milky white color in the jar, the formula is utterly translucent once applied to skin, making it the ideal finishing powder for all skin tones from light to deep.

HD Powder is completely talc free and paraben free and will not dehydrate skin. 100% Mineral Silica Powder makes it safe for even sensitive skin types.

This is available at Sephora and Sephora.com for $30.00. Look for a special Kabuki brush to pair with the powder making application super simple coming up in August.

Has Sephora gone and lost their mind? When I saw this beauty I thought wait. I see Smashbox. I see Stila. Why does the page say Sephora? Could it be a misprint?

Then I understood. Sephora put together the ultimate Supermodel Kit with some of the products needed to help make you look like a Supermodel. Well, not quite, but that is what I thought. These products were the actual products that the Sephora makeup artists used for Fashion Week Live. They put them all in a great glittery cosmetic bag too.
 
Wondering what is inside? Only the best, with a value of $145, for just $79, this Supermodel Kit is a must! The kit includes a Stila Lip Glaze in Brown Sugar, Make Up For Ever Diamond Shadow in Diamond Black 307, Smashbox Mini Travel Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Original, Smashbox O-GLOW, Dior Diorshow Mascara in Black 090, and a Sephora Blush Me! Mono in Abricot Plaisir 6.

Perfection!

Sometimes there is a kit that I just have to have. And I really have to have this Diamonds For Ever from Make Up For Ever.

Look how beautiful the model looks in the photo. This is my look that I love to wear in the winter. So soft, with muted pinks, greys, and icy whites - perfection. If only I had that so perfect porcelain skin... sigh.

It certainly doesn't hurt that the products used to create this gorgeous glow comes in one great kit. And listen to why I am even more excited. If these items were purchased separately, these beauties would cost $110 - and the kit itself with the 5 products themselves in a great pouch are less then half of that, for just $49!
 

Here is what is inside the beautiful black pouch:
*Diamond Powder 11, champagne
*Diamond Shadow 301, diamond white
*Waterproof Lengthening Mascara in 1 Black
*Aqua Eyes in 1L Star Black
*Fascinating Lip Gloss in 1, pearly transparent

The box is perfect for gift giving. Gosh, I cannot believe how much I am thinking about this for the holidays already.

Diamonds For Ever is an exclusive to Sephora, so that is where you need to scoop this up.  
 

Leave it to the professionals at Make Up Forever to bring us the ultimate waterproofing summer set. The Aqua Essential Waterproof Eye Set ($45) is all you need to keep your baby blues (or browns/green) beautiful.

The set includes the most beautiful aqua blue waterproof eyeliner pencil, waterproof mascara, liquid eye liner, and the most innovative eye seal. Eye Seal is used to make any powder waterproof - amazing. And to take all of the sometimes hard to remove waterproof products off, a very gentle (yet effective) Sens' Eyes Eye Cleanser.

Pink makeup = romantic makeup. And wouldn't it be nice to wear your romatic makeup on Valentines Day?

I am lucky to be fair skinned in which most pinks look nice on me. I prefer the soft pastel pinks, but I like just about any type of pink makeup. If you are not that into Pinks, take a few of my suggestions, and I bet I change your mind.

Sephora has a cute line of products, entitled appropriately enough, Piink. And like they say, "The best things in life are pink". I love this lip gloss crayon ($5) in the line, especially in Milky Rose - the most beautiful shade of rose petal pink. It's ease of use in that is glides on like a lipstick out of it's chubby stick but it looks sheer and glossy and low price tag are a huge plus! I also like to use their My Miistic Shadow ($9) in Tender Pink, which is a loose powder eyeshadow in pink with a hint of gold. It is in the cutest container that you dip the sponge tipped applicator into to get to the shadow.

For blushing in pink, I have a few favorites.

I have never had the privilege to use any of Make Up For Ever's products, so you will understand my excitement when I finally tried a great kit of theirs - The Essential Eye Set.

The Essential Eyes Set is a limited edition kit, only available at Sephora. In simple terms, this kit contains everything to create a basic eye look - with multiple variations.

The set includes 3 neutral brown shades, an iridescent yellow beige, a metallic taupe, and an iridescent brown black. It also contains two Star Powders, which are loose powders similar to a MAC pigment or Bare Escentuals Eye Shadow, in a pearly gold and an iridescent beige. It also includes waterproof Pearly Eye liner in black. Oh and there is also a DVD included with tips from Dany Sanz, the makeup artist behind the brand.

For the daytime, I really like the yellow-beige shade all over with the metallic taupe in the crease of my lid.  I add a bit of either of the Star Powders right in the middle of my brow bone, and sometimes right on the inside corner of my eye, by my tear duct, to brighten it all up. To jazz that look up, I add the darkest black-brown in the crease or use it as an eye liner, if I don't feel like using the pencil.

If you know someone who loves playing with eye makeup, or perhaps someone who is pretty much a novice, then this set is for them.

The value of this set is a whopping $123, but it retails for just $60.

I can't wait to try more from Make Up For Ever.
