I have been on the hunt for a powder that will last through the day and not feel itchy on my skin. I have tried several different brands, including Bare Minerals, Glo Minerals and Physicians’ Formula, and they all have one thing in common – they make my face feel all scratchy. And scratching my face rubs off the makeup. So, I have now been going to work sans makeup – yikes! I thought that all was lost and I would forever be that person who doesn’t wear makeup – not that there is anything wrong with that. But I would like to put my best face forward. Sorry, but I will have to have makeup for that!

So I have been hunting for the perfect mineral makeup. One that won’t scratch my face, be all natural and cruelty-free. With so many restrictions, I didn’t think that I would find a powder until I ran across one on a blog that I read. Lipstick, powder ‘n paint featured a post about a new powder from Smashbox, Halo Hydrating Powder. Not only does the powder contain 60 minerals including gold, but it is also a hydrating powder that can help replenish your skin and help fight fine lines! Sounds too good to be true – but I am going to put it to the test!

I haven’t tried the powder yet, but over the weekend I am planning a trip to Sephora and buying some! I know that price tag is over my budget, but sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!

I will write my new findings and share if it works or doesn’t! Check back here on BeautySchool.com next week and let’s see if this wonder powder works on my skin.
