BENEFIT POWDERFLAGE an unexpected gem

Before I got my hands on benefits Powderflage I had been going through a series of trial with other powders to try and figure out which one would work best under my eye.  I thought I finally found one that worked when I started using Makeup forever's HD powder but it really wasn't doing what i needed it to do...it was far too drying for under my eye and seemed to enhance my fine lines. I went to Sephora one day just look around and  ran across  Powderflage...I had seen reviews on it before but hadn't really thought about purchasing it but i figured i'd give it a try.

its a faint pink with very tiny almost invisible sparkly particles

 Its great...I wont say its the best but I will stay it is the best powder I've tried to set my under eye concealer. The price tag on this baby was $28, yes hefty for a 0.11oz jar but in my opinion it is a good buy since I use it every time I apply makeup.  No it doesn't come off chalky or feel dry , actually I probably should advise you to use it sparingly since you really don't need much. They say you can wear it alone but I've never tried doing that since to me it really doesn't highlight or give any coverage.  So far I'm digging it  but there is a WARNING  it can get messy especially if you dare travel with.
If your looking for a powder to set your under eye concealer and don't mind spending up to 30 dollars hunting for one  give it a try .

FIRST AID BEAUTY is FAB!

I've been using first aid beauty's UTRA REPAIR CREAM for a few months now and I think its time I review it. First off i purchased it at Sephora for $28 yea i know kinda steep but seriously its a huge tub (6.oz) that will last me at least 1yr.

I've been using it and still haven't made a significant dent

I purchased this cream some time in february I think.....my skin felt dry and I had patches and so i wanted a heavy cream that would alliviate that problem without causing me to breakout or stir up my eczema prone skin and this works pretty well. I thought it would be oily since its a cream but it isn't at all oily and  i'm actually still using it now during the summer months.  I may even  mix it with jojoba oil in the winter. There absolutely no smell to it so you wont get tired of applying it. The significant ingredients  (to me) in  it are :colloidal oatmeal, soothing eucalyptus oil, and shea butter it also says that it contains an antioxidant booster (don't know if that really is relevant though).  

I use it as a night cream or just a moisturizer when i wont be out in the sun since it does not contain sunscreen.  I find it to be calm and non irritating.  It simply is a thicker cream for those of us who prefer lush moisturizers over watery ones but don't want to clog our pores or end up  looking a grease ball.  I haven't tried the Cetaphil cream but I have tried the lotion and i found that one to be oily so if you dont like Cetaphil but need something for sensitive skin than try this cream...if your happy with Cetaphil or what ever other cream you might be using than skip this one.  

So far I feel First aid beauty's ultra repair cream is REPURCHASE worthy.
