The other day I gave away every single loose powder in my collection, to my sister. My skin being as dry as it is now, I pretty much don’t have the need for them at the moment. Except for one, of course. I first used Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette in Diffused Light when I got one of their LE holiday palettes.
