Rodan & Fields Enhancements Mineral Peptides

I want a few simple features in the mineral/powder foundation I wear: natural coverage of my flaws, the ability to keep my skin from getting shiny by the days end, and protection from the sun. Rodan & Fields, the famous duo of dermatologists that run the infomercial world, asked me to try their version of mineral makeup from their Enhancements line of products, and I accepted. The Rodan & Fields Enhancements Mineral Peptides…

Forever on the quest to find the perfect foundation powder, I finally got to try Smashbox’s Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder. At $59 it is not a cheap option, but it is now my current favorite!

I initially tried it in their limited edition duos, paired with a shimmery highlighter…

I finally got around to a MAC counter this weekend (I know, took me long enough!!!) and I picked up one of the many MAC products I’ve been dying for: a Mineralize Skinfinish Duo in Light Medium/Natural And Shimmer from the New View collection. As I had suspected, I love it! It is the perfect summer foundation powder for me. I dust on the matte side (the larger of the two) all over…
