REVIEW: Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder Brush Set

Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder Brush Set

Product 411:

• a face perfecting mineral powder and brush duo
• comes in 4 shades: fair, light, medium, and dark
• contains Gogi berry - a powerful antioxidant
• formula contains gold, 48 minerals, 11 amino acids, and powerful peptide
• made for all skin types
• oil/talc/paraben free

PROS:

• contains anti-aging formula
• hydrates skin all day
• lightweight on skin
• decreases the appearance of wrinkles
• "built-in shaver" design makes the product easier to dispense thus less messy

CONS:

• brush that came with it could be better - it's kinda scratchy on skin
• sheer coverage - i suggest using a liquid foundation/concealer underneath for better coverage (unless you have naturally flawless skin)
• expensive
• not sure if safe for acne-prone skin

VERDICT: This product replaced my MAC Mineralize loose foundation. I've been using it for almost a month now and im lovin it! I specifically like the idea of grinding my own foundation. Makes it easier for me to carry it around + more sanitary + less product wasted. The design is truly a winner. Good job, Smashbox! I also like that it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. i still see wrinkles visible on pictures up close, but I am not expecting a miracle. I'll still continue to use it and hopefully my wrinkles decrease in time.
