Unlike most pressed powders that are pressed into traditional metal pans, MAC Minerlize Skinfinish is moulded onto small terracotta tiles and baked for 24 hours, allowing for a sheer, light application.

This unique powder contains vitamin A and E derivatives, which help buffer the skin from environmental aggression and jojoba oil, which calms and soothes the skin.

The Natural portion of the duo will provide a dimensional yet natural matte-finish, while the shimmer portion will add buffed-up highlights to cheeks and brows.

It’s the small pleasures in life that make it all worthwhile.

A new collection of airport-friendly RYOKO fragrance pebbles is launching this summer from Kenzo Parfums and we are beyond excited. We fell in love with Kenzo RYOKO last summer when the first collection launched and have been waiting for Kenzo to make one with our beloved KenzoAmour fragrance.

The travel-friendly pebbles are ergonomically-designed and fit into the palm of the hand and feel so smooth it’s nearly impossible to put it down.

The RYOKO comes in five Nomad Sprays:

The Range for her

• FlowerbyKenzo eau de parfum nomad spray
• KenzoAmour eau de parfum nomad spray (YAY!)
• L’eau Par Kenzo eau de parfum nomad spray

The Range for him

• L’eau Par Kenzo Pour Homme nomad spray
• Tokyo by Kenzo nomad spray

RYOKO fragrance pebbles will be available for $29 beginning this month at www.kenzousa.com .
