"Hello Flawless" is their newest facial powder, which depending on how you apply it, gives sheer to maximum coverage complete with SPF 15. It comes with a brush, for sheer coverage or a sponge for max. coverage.
I tried both application methods and have to say, I found the brush to be quite useless. So I used one of my own, (kabuki) and the powder went on very smooth, and gave great natural looking coverage. One word of caution though: if you use moisturiser, let it soak into your face for a good 15 mins.before you apply this powder. I found that if my moisturiser wasn't soaked in enough, then Hello Flawless was Hello Cakey Face!
I think it's a good product, and it works well, and it goes on smooth and the colour matches well with my own skin tone. However, it's not the ultimate in powder foundations for me. I am feeling like I can still live without it, and for me I usually stick with a product when I feel, I can not live w/o this stuff!! For me, it's just a little too much coverage, I like a nice sheer, coverage, and have a feeling I will be going back to my BE for that, but will continue to use Hello Flawless for concealer, because it doesn't go all cakey like some concealers.
If you are looking for max. coverage in a powder foundation, I would reccomend this product completely!!

Make Up For Ever Pure Water

A while ago, I received a small bottle of MUFE's "Pure Water". I didn't even read what it was all about, so used it as a toner. Then I noticed all the left over make up it was removing even after I had cleansed, and how soft it left my face feeling. So I looked into the product more, and realised (duh!!) it was a make up remover!!
It works amazing!!....leaves your skin extremely clean, removes all make up, even stubborn mascara, and all without leaving your skin dry and taught feeling. It's quick and convenient too....I couldn't be happier with the stuff!
I have extremely sensitive skin at times, and I find that "Pure Water" doesn't aggravate it at all, there is no obnoxious scent or greasiness. You are just left with clean comfortable skin!!....love it!!

Revlon Illuminance Creme Eyeshadow
I love this colour palette!!.... and for a small purchase you get gorgeous soft naturals, beiges and browns, all with a hint of gold shimmer...and I do mean hint!!....they go on easy....very smooth, very silky, and the colours are perfectly put... +
I love this colour palette!!.... and for a small purchase you get gorgeous soft naturals, beiges and browns, all with a hint of gold shimmer...and I do mean hint!!....they go on easy....very smooth, very silky, and the colours are perfectly put together so you can blend and mix them. However.....and this is the one huge draw back to these eye shadows....they do not last all day!! Even with an eye lid primer, they do not last. They end up in the crease of your eyelid after only a couple of hours. I don't have oily skin, and I use a good eye lid primer (Urban Decay), but even it couldn't help these little jewels from creasing. I would reccomend it for the money, and for the colours, and if you can get it to not crease, it would be worth every penny. If you do.....let me know what your secret is!!
