I only thought it fair to put-up a little photo of my best friend Christine. I speak of her often, she just moved to Paris to pursue her studies in Perfumery and we tackled Paris Fashion Week together. She’s pictured on the left in a photo I snapped after I coerced her to let me take her photo at the Marlies Dekkers after-party held in Paris at Le Baron. The reason I bring her up now is because being into perfumery and having worked at IFF she knows a thing or two about cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances so I always hit her up for her latest finds. Nearly everyday I was in Paris she wore LORAC’S Perfectly Lit Oil-Free Luminizing Powder ($32), it’s an oil-free powder that’s great for those days you don’t have time to put on a whole lot of makeup. That said, it can just as easily be used as a stand-alone product for a quick and easy way to freshen-up your face or it can be used as a base to give your skin a glow (the shine it gave my skin is really what set it apart, for me, from other powders), while covering-up imperfections. It comes in 3 shades and thought the packaging isn’t the chicest, it’s relatively compact and comes with a mirror.
