There are some products that you have to use for awhile before you appreciate their true genius and then there are some products that you use once and are instantly in love. Prescriptives Magic Liquid Powder falls into the second category for me. I'm normally not a huge powder user (I tend to finish off my look with bronzer instead) but ever since my friend raved about this to me, I'd been wanting to try it, so I finally did. And now I must tell you all to go out and buy it immediately. Its formula is made with 70% water and as the Prescriptives site says, "This ultra-lucent powder dusts on like a mist to set and enhance the effect of foundation." Totally true, but the fun part is putting it on. When I first swept it over my face, I thought that I'd put it on with a wet brush because that's what it felt like. So I grabbed another brush and repeated the application, only to have the same thing happen. So, uhm, I grabbed another brush and did it a third time. And when I had the same thing happen again, I FINALLY realized that it wasn't the brushes, that's just how the powder goes on. (I'm guessing from the 70% water). I realize how stupid that makes me sound, but in my defense, no other powder I've ever tried goes on like that. It's really cool - and it feels totally refreshing too, so it's the perfect powder to use in the summer time. It also really works - it's supposed to minimize the appearance of lines, pores and wrinkles and it definitely does. My skin looks flawless after I put it on, which my bronzer, beloved as it is, doesn't really accomplish. Now the important question - can Prescriptives make a Magic Body Powder that you dust on to instantly look 15 pounds thinner? Someone get on that!
