Make Up Forever HD Microfinish Powder

I have been curious about trying Make Up Forever's HD Microfinish Powder for a long time, so I was really excited to see it being offered as a 100 point perk at Sephora.  The powder is translucent and made of 100 percent mineral silica, and it is REALLY finely milled.  The full size product has a mesh screen to prevent too much powder from coming out, but my mini had a plastic divider with holes that got clogged and didn't let any product out, so I removed it.  I just have to dip my powder brush directly into the product.  I end up getting a lot of powder on my brush even after tapping the brush to get the excess powder off, and I was worried my face would look obviously over powdered.  Fortunately I was left with a natural, not overly matte finish and was pleasantly surprised with how goof-proof application was.

Bath and Body Works Silky Smooth Shave Cream


For over a year I have been using the Silky Smooth Shave Cream with shea butter from Bath and Body Work's True Blue Spa line when I shave.  The formula is infused with Shea Butter and Vitamin E to help moisturize your skin.

Caudalie Vinosourse S.O.S Morning Eye Rescue



Currently I have been revising my skincare routine.  I used to just cleanse and moisturize and then use an eye serum at night.  From watching and reading about other bloggers' routines it made me want to try new items and add more steps to my skincare routine.  I initially thought that all of the extra steps were unnecessary, but I was still curious to see what it was all about.  I first picked up Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum, and wow did it make a difference.  Needless to say I was totally sold on a skincare routine that is a little more elaborate.  Slowly but surely I am revamping my entire skincare routine.
