Long time no post....lol...hi ladies. I had to come back for a visit to tell you about my experience with Halo. I was put off by the very expensive price for a face powder. I only decided to purchase it when I recieved a gift card. WOW!!! I love it. It makes my skin look dewy without looking oily. I have very oily skin but this powder is wonderful on my skin. Gift card or not...I will by this again!!

I would really needed some encouragement for getting this powder--I`ve ordered mine yesterday for 57$ on ebay plus the shipping. Before, I was using Korff`s hydrating powder with retinol (which was not bad, I think) but, I guess, we always expect to some miracles when it comes to the advertized products..well, let`s see, really hope I won`t regret spending so much bucks on this one instead of getting myself some skin care products for dehydrated skin as I was planning to.

Just please, tell me , does it really give that "glowing" effect on the skin?If so, do you have to reapply it during the day? And how do you prefer to use it--with or without the foundation?

Thanks for advance

I have it and LOVE it! I use it sparingly though because its so expensive. As for mineral foundations go, this one I like more then the others for sure. But I'm not sure its worth the price. Maybe a good ebay find but not $60 something bucks.

I forgot I have this.. I have to dig it out, because it was great. I think it got put in the drawer because I got a few foundations... and powders as well.

I have wanted this since the day I got the Smashbox email introducing it. I just can't justify that cost though.

I was tempted on getting that set that comes with the travel size. I think once im off my low/no buy ill buy it if its still around.

I absolutely love it! I bought it back from QVC before it was available through any other retailer, so I also got the additional red-handled brush as well. It has seemed to last forever, though I don't use it every day (went make-up free for several months--home bound after surgery equals no one to impress!).

I have seen that Smashbox has come out with a HALO eyeshadow but unfortunately there are issues with the shaver/packaging on it. I haven't bought it for that reason, but the HALO packaging doesn't have this issue.

If you cannot justify the cost for the full sized one, they have come out with a Halo-to-go version, smashbox Halo To Go Hydrating Perfecting Powder& Buki Brush - QVC.com , for about $40 but only available through QVC. Don't forget 4% cashback through eBates or Bing!

I think this kit has the halo to go. COMPLEXION PERFECTION KIT its a good deal and its only $9 more and you get more stuff!

I wonder if we can find a better deal? lol

Hi ladies, I have it in Light. For $72 bucks, it made me cringe, but Smashbox always has great reviews, so I went for it. Not bad! It definitely has this dewy finish, so it never feels cakey but WORD OF ADVICE: You MUST exfoliate your skin before applying this. It will show the dead skin cells on your nose and cheeks if you look closely. That irks me!!

I have also seen this on QVC and if it wasn't for the cost, I would have bought it by now...

I`ve just got mine from ebay order and tried it twice already: once with the foundation and once without it. In the first case, I think it looked a bit cakey. On my opinion, it doesn`t suit for setting a foundation--too heavy for me. But overally, I found it quite good--it doesn`t tight my skin(my skin is a bit dehydrated now) and the latter does look as if glowing under it.

I have a question, though, for those who has already had some experience with this powder--do you really see any skin improvements a fter using this for some period? In terms of hydration, smoothing little imperfections and etc?

it's alrite.. not worth the money in my opinion

It's available in the palest shade only on All Cosmetics Wholesale (allcosmeticswholesale.com) for $29.99 in the full size. That's half off if anyone wants to try it.

I like it, but don't think I'd pay full price for it.
