Getting Over Jane

FLAWLESS

I used to use this translucent face powder by Jane for years (through high school and college), but after it ran out, I couldn’t find it anywhere. It literally disappeared off the shelves at like every drug store in America.

When it comes to hair and make-up products, I don’t like change, so when Jane fell out of my life, I didn’t use loose powder for a very long time — and those were some unusually dark days for me.

But the other day, I realized it was time for me to move on from the heart break that my love affair with Jane had caused, and I decided to buy this translucent face powder by Sally Hansen.
(It comes in a few different shades, but I linked to the one that I have.)

Most of us are familiar with Sally Hansen products because of their nail-care line, but their face powder is great, too. Loose powders usually come with a sponge/puff, but I prefer a makeup brush.
This stuff retails for about $12, but loose powder lasts for like five years, so it’s worth it.

Make-up artists say that after you apply your (non-greasy) face cream (with at least SPF-15 in it) you should apply a dab of foundation to partially damp skin, and then dust loose powder over your face for a natural look.
Pressed powders usually look more cakey, which I think is fine if you have somewhere special to go for which you need Cake Face.

I use this for times like that.

I do still miss Jane, and according to their Web site, their products are sold 1.5 miles away from where I live.
But for now, I’m happy developing a relationship with Sally.

Maybe in about five years, Jane and I can touch base face, again.

Thanks for the tip about your relationship with Sally. I hate when a product I like is gone forever and you’re left in a pit of despair wondering what it is you did wrong.

Or…maybe that’s just me!

UGH! I know how you feel. That’s how I exactly felt when Lord & Berry closed their stores in here (Kuwait) I was SO furious! Lots of my favorites products in the line were discountinued. I buy them from Amazon but still 1/2 of the colors are discontinued :-/

I’m on my quest of finding the perfect loose powder! Unfortunately, I still haven’t found it yet.. I just can’t stop buying make-up it’s crazy.
