This Or That

I recently wrote an article for a paper comparing two different but alike products. I thought I'd share it here on my blog. Enjoy!

Who wouldn’t want to wake up everyday glowing as if they had eight hours of a good night’s sleep? I’m sure the reality is for a lot of you, especially you moms, is sleep is scarce and sometimes a cup of coffee just won’t cut it. Well, a brightening finishing powder could be the solution and give you the illusion. If you are doing beauty on a budget, I found an amazing brightening finish powder that looks identical to a high-end brand. So much so, I had to do a double take. I purchased at Target, NYX “Radiant Finishing Powder” for $8.99. I purchased at Sephora, Bobbi Brown’s “Brightening Finishing Powder” for $52.00. They may look alike, but does a price of an item really determine how well it performs? I put them to the test. I was shocked at my findings. These two not only looked the same they felt and performed the same. Both set my foundation and gave my skin a radiant glowing finish. The multicolors help to even out skin tone and the white shimmer gives the skin an elegant luminosity. This can be worn alone or used as a finishing powder. Just swirl a fluffy brush in the compact and apply all over the face, and voila your face will have a radiant glow. The only difference I could see was packaging and price. So powder on my friends and I’ll see you next month!
