Halo to Go!

This Smashbox Halo to Go size is perfect, comes in all four shades, and even includes the perfect Kabuki brush to apply it with.

The powder is billed as a perfecting and hydrating powder.

I have yet to try it, though I soon will be as I just ordered this Today's Special Value from QVC. Today only, this beauty is $32.48. I ordered the powder in the medium shade for summer. The amount you get seems generous enough (1/4 oz.) to give it a good, thorough test out.
