The applicator delivers 7,000 micro-oscillations per minute, which is said to help spread the powder evenly across your skin and buff it down to a matte finish. I will have to try this out to see if it delivers as promised. Have you tried this? What do you think? Lancome 'Oscillation Powerfoundation' Micro-Vibrating. Polishing. Mineral Make-up.

I am on a quest to try all the new liquid mineral make up on the market right now. It just feels so much better on my skin and I am less prone to break outs. Prescriptives is expanding its mineral portfolio and launching a liquid mineral makeup, All Skins Mineral Makeup. This will be my next mineral liquid foundation to test out. It's a longwearing liquid mineral makeup that is infused with vitamins, minerals and their exclusive R.E.C. (Radiance Emitting Crystals - a unique complex of Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Calcite to give skin a soft, luminous finish as if it were "glowing from within." ) to give skin extra luminosity. I'll report back to you once I've gotten my sample. I am impressed with the extensive choice in shades-- you're sure to find your exact match of this new longwearing liquid mineral makeup from Prescriptives with 18 shades! From the lightest to the darkest, I think they've got us covered! Check the shades out here, $32.50
1. Liquid Powder Mineral Make Up- I am obsessed with this product and used it both Saturday and Sunday. What impressed me most was the finish-- the liquid texture is lightweight but the minute you blend in to the skin it becomes a velvety powder texture without any kind of residue nor cakeyness or dryness. I tested it by applying 4 coats and the finish remained flawless. I love it because you can reapply throughout the day! Usually you can not reapply liquid foundation once you have powdered up-- since it is a liquid to powder-- you can keep adding layers to it depending on coverage. A must have for quick touch ups after work if you have social events to attend! I used "Tender beige" and it looked like my skin and even in the brightest of sun light, you could not detect I had 4 layers of foundation on! Most mineral make up comes in messy loose powder versions that make it hard to control, this is by far the most amaaaaaaazing mineral make up, ever! You must try and I promise you will love! Order the Liquid Powder Foundation for $25 here. (Note: I pat layers of this foundation gently into my skin, do not rub as it dries to a powder finish and you don't want to rub it off. No need for sponge or blending, just pat it on until desired coverage!)
2. Full Coverage Photo Finish Powder: If you have oily skin or live in very hot weather, try this powder. It is designed to be used as a foundation and gives a full coverage. Again, I layered it yet it did not feel heavy! I used the Neutral medium and it gave a slightly heavier coverage than the liquid. I even used it over the liquid foundation just for fun and it still looked quite natural! Order powder here, $24.50.
My friend Jessica has a love affair with all things Swedish (she even moved to Sweden to attend design school for 4 years and brought a Swedish cutie back to LA with her!) but this is my first love with a Swedish product. FACE Stockholm Spring 2009 Look was created by top Swedish artist, Sara Bourke and captures the purity and romance of the season with a little spunk.
"The fresh, flirtatious lip, just-been-kissed flushed cheeks, soft healthy skin and sultry, glowing eye, combine a sweet sophistication with spirited femininity that passionately announces: 'Spring is in the air!'"
The weather has recently turned muggy and every time I leave the house I feel like my face is melting off. This is why in the summer months I like to switch to a lightweight powder foundation; it's easier to touch up and doesn't feel like I'm clogging my pores. La Mer just came out with an amazingly lightweight powder foundation-- I got it last week and am in love with it! You can control the coverage depending on how much you apply it and of course being La Mer it also includes skin treatment benefits along with SPF protection. I love the way the texture of this powder; super soft and fine, and it feels like nothing on the skin no matter how often I re-apply! 
Want perfect looking skin without spending a fortune? Maybelline's Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish is damn near perfect! I never would have even given this a thought had I not seen it on my friend Melinda. She had just arrived home from Florida and I thought her glow was due to the fresh ocean air and being outdoors but she informed me it rained the entire trip and she didn't get to spend much time in the sun. I asked her why she was glowing and she gleefully told me "it's the new Maybelline foundation! I bought it because the model in the ad looked so good" (note to advertisers, your expensive models are paying off!). Now my friend is a very advanced Beauty Snob-- she is a hard core beauty junkie (her monthly Neiman bill can attest to this) and she does not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars on a jar of cream if she likes it. So I was shocked to hear she bought a bottle of $9 foundation and even more shocked to find out that she uses it more often than her $150 bottle of cream foundation! 
Everyone wants flawless skin, right? But sometimes putting on too much make up in an attempt to achieve flawlessness leaves you looking cakey and overdone. I always use foundation to make my skin even and looking like porcelain (or so I believe) but it is hard to strike that perfect balance between getting enough coverage and looking perfectly natural. I have a closet full of foundation that I've tried, some are great, some have failed but nothing compares to the new Freeze 24/7 Mineral makeup system! A very light coverage completely transforms my skin to looking like porcelain - I no longer need to deceive myself, I actually have perfect milky skin. And even better is the bronzer that gives the most natural hint of sun. It has just a touch of highlighting shine to pick up the light but it is not at all sparkly, and it doesn't actually make you darker and tanned, it just gives you healthy color. There is also a blush to add rosiness to the cheeks. The system comes with 2 makeup shades to blend for a customized tone, a bronzer and the blush. The lighter of the makeup shades can be used to highlight under the eyes, brows, nose and chin. I am so in love with this and wake up in anticipation of putting on make up! The mineral has anti-aging qualities and it has SFP 18 so you are literally covered on all fronts! It comes with brushes so it is convenient and easy on top of achieving the natural beauty that you were meant to have! Freeze 24/7 Mineral Make Up, $85, comes in fair, medium and tan.
