I'm all about textures...how something feels holding it in my hand, how it soothes as it passes my skin, how it leaves me feeling after the beauty ritual is gone. All of this accounts for my love of my Too Faced retractable Kabuki Brush. To begin with it has a compact, light and ADORABLE pink metal casing with tiny flowers on it that feels cool and sleek in the palm of my hand. Way different feeling than standard plastic or wood brushes. Then you pop it open and discover the "Teddy Bear Hair" brush softness. That's what Too Faced calls the bristles. They are so, so soft you find yourself constantly swirling it around your face and neck and falling into a lovely daydream where you are draped in an airy gauze linen dress, laying in your bungalow sipping wine while scantily clad servant men fan you with ostrich feathers. Wow, that was a nice mental vacation. Back to reality. Anyway, the brushes are great because they are cruelty free since they aren't made of animal hair and they don't carry some of the hygiene problems as real hair brushes either. This lovely little brush just perfectly applies all of my favorite face and neck powders. When I get the chance I'll have one for my travel tote as well as the one I keep on my already overcrowded vanity!

I love these little individual capsules. They emit a kind of yellow goo when you cut them open but when you put it on your face it glides over your skin like silk. It gives me a soft, luminous kind of muted glow. I put this on at night after my regular skin care and wake up with the softest skin...ready for a new day. I need to experiment to see if it works well under makeup but I love my Smashbox primer so much I can't imagine putting a layer of this on UNDER that too. For now I just love it for when I want to have a clean face and a soft glow (around the house and on weekend days). I find it on CVS.com. They also travel beautifully for a quick trip...toss a few in your bag and go!

I reviewed this a while back and its STILL my favorite. I use other cleansers out of guilt (I hate waste or to think something isn't getting used so I'll use something I know doesn't work just to not waste) and I always come back to this when I start to break out. The scent is DIVINE, the cleansing isn't harsh and it a TREAT to use it every time. I'm absolutely in love.
