Hard Candy Fast & Fabulous Translucent Finishing Powder ($6) is a new transparent silica that launched with the new Hard Candy Spring/Summer 2015 Makeup Collection recently which is available exclusively at Walmart and Walmart.com.

There’s definitely something to be said about $6 translucent finishing powder that you can easily purchase at your local Wally World. As far as pressed silica powder goes it is a little lacking at the drugstores. Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of pressed powders and loose ones but simple silica powder? Not really. I’m surprised we didn’t a round of “HD” drugstore products by now, guess the drugstore missed the mark there.

None the else if you’re on a beauty budget six bucks might seem fab but my experience with Hard Candy Fast & Fabulous Translucent Finishing Powder was meh!

Last weekend I went to drool over Otherwise in concert you know, because Adrian Patrick, dude…..! Obsessed much?

Anyway, I packed up what I needed for the weekend and of course, I had my trusty Sephora Eye Makeup Remover. Typically it’s the first thing I pack because I have visions of myself in black eyeliner and having no way to remove it while at a hotel that only has small bars of soap that could possibly get stuck in your nooks and crannies when washing with them.

Not cool.

So yeah, I pack eye makeup remover first.

I packed up my bag and was quite pleased and happy with myself. I was not happy early into the next morning upon getting back to my room and realizing I forgot to pack facial cotton. It was late when I got back to my room and I was tired so I had to sit there with a piece of harsh toilet paper dosed with makeup remover to get my eye makeup off. Seriously, toilet paper and eye makeup remover are NOT a match made in heaven. It just doesn’t work.

This was the moment I wished I had a box of Sephora Express Eye Makeup Remover Wipes!

Jill Stuart Everlasting Silk Powder Foundation had a release early this week in Japan much to the excitement of packaging h0rs far and wide. If you’re familiar with the original Powder Foundation Compact X (which I can’t live without) you’ll likely be impressed with newer style packaging that Jill Stuart is embracing for the formula.

The brand has embraced round compacts for their powders for a while now so Everlasting Silk Powder Foundation takes a new and possibly exciting route as it comes in a new clutch style compact with a small chain giving it the appearance of a vintage purse.

Yeah, I know, if you’re anything like me you might be thinking, “Well, I don’t think I’m going to be carrying and swinging around my foundation palette anytime soon on an evening out!” But hey, stranger $h1t has happened in my makeup life so why not?
