Benefit The POREfessional Matte Rescue Invisible Finish Mattifying Gel ($28) is a new invisible mattifying gel that helps to minimize the appears of pores while absorbing excess oil.

Show of hands, who thought about Urban Decay Deslick in a Tube upon seeing this!? I know I did! Far be it for this dry skin girl to love on a product that mattifies skin but I really loved Deslick in a Tube. It was one of Urban Decay’s crowning jewels (aside from Primer Potion before they went and changed the formula that is).

I feel Deslick in a Tube was around for like a season and disappeared. Why!? It was a transparent gel that absorb in a snap and instantly sucked up excess moisture without drying out skin. I experience a bit of shine and oil in the humid, warmer weather and this stuff made my skin look amazing. No shine, no oil, just smooth, even perfection. Plus I didn’t have to deal with a silicone formula that made me itchy. Sadly, it is long since gone but upon seeing Benefit The POREfessional Matte Rescue Invisible Finish Mattifying Gel I instantly hoped that it would be a great replacement to that long gone formula.

Hey bronzer fans! Good news L’Oreal Glam Bronze Cushion Soleil launched in the UK which means we’ll likely get it shortly too! For Spring 2016, L’Oreal launched their new Lumi Cushion Foundation in the US and more recently the new Lucent Magique Cushion Glow Blush arrived in Japan. I have high hopes the blush will make its way to our shores before the bronzer, because I’m so not a bronzer girl!

Cushions continue to become increasingly popular outside of Asia and bronzer cushions seem to be the rage of the moment. Sephora recently introduced a bronzer cushion which was the first of its kind (bronzer cushions aren’t something I’ve seen from Korea as of yet but that isn’t any big surprise!). It’s interesting to see the trend develop and come to drugstores now too.

Glam Bronze Cushion Soleil is availalbe in a single shade selection. This comes in the chunky dual compartment compact we’ve come to know for most cushions. It’s formulated with pure water and gives skin a soft, luminous bronzed finish that’s dewy in finish. The buildable formula can be applied sheer or layered for a more deeper tanned look.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be seeing this soon here in the US.

Do you think you’ll try it?
