e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Powder Filter Pressed Powder

Hi to all of my Beauty Bag Doll's! I have a quick update and a quick review for all of you today. I have been very busy this month and May is always a super busy month for me. I have still been thoroughly testing out a few different products for all of you one test that is done for the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Powder Filter Pressed Powder. I will attach my review below. I also just started testing a new concealer and will have that review for you in early June. I also did some online shopping and grabbed a new to me foundation and some other goodies so stay tuned for that because they have just shipped. Now as for the e.l.f Cosmetics Halo Glow Powder Filter Pressed Powder I was lucky enough to sample this for Topbox Circle and my review is attached below.

The @elfcosmetics Halo Glow Powder Filter is....

an amazing product. It is one I reach for when I want set my entire face for a long work day. It is lightweight and finely milled. It adds a hint of glow without any glitter. I highly recommend it.

It costs only $14 and comes in multiple shades.

bareMinerals Mineral Veil w/SPF25 & Supreme Finisher Brush

 Happy Friday Beauty Bag Dolls!! I hope you have a beautiful week and have a beautiful weekend ahead! I mentioned last month that I was looking for a new setting powder and I am lucky enough to try one from bareMinerals that also has SPF25 built-in to it. I also got to try out the bareMinerals Supreme Finisher Brush as well and I left my reviews for BzzAgent and below I will leave them for you.

The bareMinerals Mineral Veil has been the translucent powder I have been looking for my entire life! It sets my makeup for my entire 12 plus hour day but it erases my pores without leaving any white cast. It glides on perfectly with bareMinerals Supreme Brush which make it look like an airbrushed finish. The addition of the SPF is something I never seen on the market until trying out mineral veil and I love it for the extra protection over makeup and I dust this on on my no makeup day just for the SPF factor and so my skin has Tha poreless perfection look. Give this setting powder a try, it's amazing!!

The bareMinerals Supreme Finisher Brush is my number one Brush! I am wowed by how soft it is yet how it just picks up the right amount of product to dust onto my face. I use it with the bareMinerals Mineral Veil with SPF25 and I get the perfect amount of loose setting powder on the brush and Brush it onto my skin. It evenly distributes it without being heavy handed. This brush is an absolute must. It has a sturdy handle and never lost a brush hair. My advice is get yourself bareMinerals brushes ( and makeup) you will not look back because it is the best!! I am hooked.

HIDE Cosmetics Setting Powder & Setting Spray

 Hi Beauty Bag Dolls! I hope your summer is shinning so far and while we squeeze out these next few weeks of late sunsets we need our makeup to last from sunrise to sunset. I am a big believer in setting powdersetting powder and setting spray and this summer has been a quest for me to find the best. Thanks to HIDE Cosmetics for  creating the perfect two products to make my makeup last formy 16 hour days. Read on to learn more.

This summer proof duo has done wonders to lock in my makeup from morning till night.

First, after applying my makeup which some days consists of the HIDE foundation and concealer or the HIDE Skin tint Booster with a touch of concealer I now have added their  HIDE Translucent Setting PowderHIDE Translucent Setting Powder and this powder is milled nicely and comes with an applicator poof. I always set my concealer under my eyes with a sponge and I take a brush to dust the setting powder all over my face. HIDE Setting Powder dusts on very nicely and does not feel heavy or cakes on the face you can use it to bake then just dust it off easily and it did not leave a dry heavy feeon my face like with other powders. Throughout the day I noticed it did control oil and shine which is always welcome for someone like me with a combination skin type. This setting powder from HIDE is my must have and the cost is $28 which if they charged double it would be worth it. This is my new go-to.

Perfectly packaged!

Finally, I tried the HIDE Setting Spray HIDE Setting Spray and for me I always struggle to find a setting spray that doesn't actually ruin your makeup after your done doing it. I have tried setting spray that has sprayed so much makeup that it made my makeup look like it was spotted. The HIDE Setting Spray was a perfect mist that just kissed the face and truly set my makeup and none of that spotty streaking like other brands. When combinding this setting spray with the powder and your make will not budge in this heat and humidity. This summer is very hot and humid so setting my makeup has been a priority and I am happy to say that HIDE Cosmetics has made it a slam dunk. The bottle is large 4 ounces for $26 which is a lot of product.

I must say these two are a dream duo and a Beauty Bag must have. Please shop Hide.com to purchase these two awesome products and the concealer,  foundationconcealer,  foundation and skin tint Boosterskin tint Booster. My review of the foundation and concealer is here. My review of skin tint Booster is here.

Laura Mercier Translucent & Invisible Loose Setting Powder

 Hello my Beauty Bag Dolls I hope you are ready for a deep dive on setting powder and its not just any setting powder it is the Laura Mercier setting powders. I had been a dedicated to my It Cosmetics Setting powder for years until Shiseido setting powder came into my life and they I was all in on that. While I had found myself more in love with Shiseido and casting aside my It cosmetics I got interested in Urban Decay and began going between Shiseido and Urban Decay for a long time now. But like anyone I got an desire to change things up yet again. I found that after changing my foundations early this year I benefited and I though what if...I do the same with my setting powders. I went on a deep search in August and after researching and checking out what was out there i decided to go with a classic fan favorite that I never tried yet which I though wow that's odd how did you not try this sooner Anna? People rave about Laura Mercier Setting Powder and there is two (now actually three) to choose from, they recently launched a third that is not from what I am reading in reviews as good as the two classics. So with that information in hand I ordered the Laura Mercier Translucent  Loose Setting Powder and the Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder along with two Laura Mercier Velour Puffs. The setting powders are $39.00 each and the the sold separately Velour Puffs are $16.00 each. Now this review is reviews of both powders. I will compare and contrast my experience with these two setting powders. Remember this is my experience and what works for me may not work for you and this is not a sponsored review I have paid for all of these products. I tested each of these for a week and then together for five days using one on side of my face and one on the other. I really did a lot of testing of these powders before giving you my honest reviews/opinions. Read on to learn more.

I have found my new favorite  Setting Powder! I know Laura Mercier will have one for you too!

The Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder is what I stared with because I felt it was close to what I have been using and would not be a shock to my makeup routine. According to the brand the Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder is light defusing, a universal shade and disappears upon application. While i did find that it was light diffusing and set my makeup I do not think it was universal in shade because it seemed to leave a little bit of a white cast on my face especially when using the Laura Mercier Velour Puff for application. I prefer the brush with this one for a lighter application of what seems like a light weight powder (more on why it is not as light as you think to come). This did do a fairly good job for 8 - 10 hours days at controlling my oily skin and keeping my makeup in place. This is defiantly worth while purchase and I have no regrets. It worked well with liquid foundation and stick foundation. Not to great with my CC Cream. I give it a 4 $$$$.  It is a beauty bag must but do note its not as good with any foundation with SPF in it.

The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is my overall winner for a few reasons. My number one reason is that it is available in 3 shades Translucent, Honey and Translucent Medium Deep. I have the Translucent which is for fair to medium skin tones. I also noticed immediately that this formula is finely milled much more milled than the Invisible version. It feels so much softer and lightweight. It also matches my skin tone and the makeup shades that I use. It never sticks to my makeup and works well with all liquid and stick foundations as well as CC creams and I had no issues with any of the foundations that have SPF built into them whereas the Invisible Powder did not work as well it was efficient but compared to Translucent it tends to cling more. I love the Translucent all over my face it does a great job absorbing oil and never ever needing to be touched up. It lasts for my entire 12 to 16 hour days and leaves me looking air brushed. I do like the Invisible powder for baking my concealer under my eyes since and the Translucent for everything else. I prefer a brush application for both except for under the eyes the velour puff does a perfect job and for clean dry skin days when your not wearing makeup either Laura Mercier powder will do well and applying it the the velour puff or even a wet beautyblender for a much heavier application its your choice. The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder is a 5 $$$$$ and if your budget only allows you to buy one Laura Mercier Setting powder than the the Translucent one is for you since you get to pick your shade and it works well with all different kinds of foundations and concealer bases as well as is SPF friendly. I have linked these products for you to go and purchase troughout my post and I will link as well at the end of my blog.

This complimentary voxbox from Influenster has made a difference in my life because I have now found 3 products I absolutely love! 

My new holy grain concealer does exist! I have been looking for the perfect concealer (and foundation) for a while now thankfully I received the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer complimentary thanks to Influenster VoxBox and now I am in love. Finally a concealer that matches my skin tone and I don't have to mix and it cover all my imperfections like acne scars and dark circles with just a small amount. It never feels heavy and lasts all day until I take it off!
This is a serious concealer because the day it arrived I was struggling with some blemishes and when I used it, the next day when getting ready for work I applied and I looked in the mirror and didn't even remember where the pimples were this Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer is that good! This is a medium to full coverage in my opinion and its so perfect for my combination currently more oily skin type! I also highly recommend their foundation and setting powder!
Thanks Influenster for complimentary VoxBox.

Finally a foundation that is oily skin friendly, medium coverage, has SPF, has a skin tone match to the T and lasts all day long. I have been searching for this foundation my whole life and now thanks to the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation with SPF 30 I am taking my makeup game to a new level! Since my complimentary Influenster VoxBox arrived I have been using this foundation every single day. It covers all my imperfections from acne scars, new pimples to even a sun spot! It also does not budge! When I apply this foundation at 6AM (I do love to set it with their Shiseido Synchro Skin Invisible Silk Loose Powder) it does not budge even through summer heat and humidity! As I mentioned I have oily skin and this foundation took the challenge like a champ all while protecting my skin with SPF 30! My face looks fresh and feels soft (I know odd thing to say about your skin after applying foundation but so true) at 6AM , Noon and 7PM when I get home! I highly recommend this foundation and it is my new MUST have! Thanks Influenster for this complimentary VoxBox!

A truly light weight setting powder does exist and it comes from the Shiseido line. Their newest product is the Shiseido Synchro Skin Invisible Silk Loose Powder and it has quickly replaced all of my other loose powders because it works and its so light weight and it never gets cakey or chalky looking like others. I love how it sets my foundation/concealer and I pair it with the other two Shiseido products (foundation and Concealer)  I received complimentary from an Influenster VoxBox. The loose powder leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth, I am telling you it will blow your expectations out of the water about loose powders!

These are all 5 $$$$$ and beauty bag must haves that get EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA! Read on to learn more about Influenster and how to receive your own free makeup!

Dermablend

Aloha #BeautyBagDolls I am extremely pleased to be bringing you a review of 2 amazing products from Dermablend that was sent to me from Skin1.com They sent me the Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Medium Coverage Foundation with SPF 25 and the Dermablend Setting Powder. If you are looking for a truly long wear foundation that covers then Dermablend is for you! Visit Skin1.com here @ http://www.skin1.com/ to purchase yours.

Two products I cannot go with out! Dermablend is sold at www.skin1.com

Now when I look in the mirror my acne has gotten the best of me and I want to cover it up I reach for Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Medium Coverage Foundation with SPF 25. This foundation covers it so well I forget I even have a few blemishes. Not to worry if you have other skin issues such as redness, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation this will cover it up perfectly while leaving your skin feeling like your wearing nothing at all. It is a breathable foundation that also has SPF 25 so I don't have to layer on sunscreen. My skin looks and feels flawless after I apply it and the coverage lasts for up to 16 hours and to ensure it I use the Dermablend Setting Powder. I am a fan of setting powders for setting concealer and foundation but I have only met one that I love until this one! I now have two favorites and this one is ranked at the top of my list!  It is a loose setting powder and it comes in 3 shades I received the original. I use this one every time I use the foundation from Dermablend because they go together perfectly marry my foundation to my skin making it look flawless and the long wear is unbelievable I mean you have to try it for yourself! The two of these Dermablend products together are unstoppable! To purchase the foundation visit here @ http://www.skin1.com/dermablend-smooth-liquid-camo-foundation.html and to purchase the loose powder visit here @ http://www.skin1.com/dermablend-loose-powder-1.html They are a 5 $$$$$ and in my beauty bag as a staple!
