MAKEUP FOREVER LE Holodiam Powder 303





MUFE limited edition Holodiam Powders was sort of an impulse buy for me. A few weeks ago, the Sephora at the Eaton Centre reopened after expanding and moving their new location in the mall. A friend and I made it a point to go and check it out on the day it reopened.

We grabbed everything we wanted, especially since this particular location now carries a ton of brands that we in Canada don't get. i.e. OCC, illamasqua, becca, etc. We lined up, bought our purchases and walked out with a complimentary Sephora tote bag and carried on in the mall.

For some reason we found ourselves drawn back into the store later in the night and I wanted to check out the MUFE boutique a bit more in detail. That is when I stumbled upon the Holodiam Powder and fell in love. The sales associates were friendly and eager to show us certain items—holodiam powders included. As soon as I saw this particular powder swatched, I fell in love.




Anything stamped with "Limited Edition" is a sure pusher into making an impulse buy. While the powder retails for $28CAD, I didn't really so much hesitate as I was given a $10 gift card for having recently become a VIB member.






Holodiam Powder #303 is a "Hologram powder is a pearlescent, loose powder that plays with light for a multi-reflection color result. The powder is as shiny as a Diamond Powder, but with the added benefits of multi reflection color and high pay off. It can be used on the eyes and on the cheeks." It's a white powder with blue, green and gold highlights.

It gives any regular bout of color a boosting "pop" or splash of "glam".







What I like about this powder is that it's versatile and shows differently on anything you put it on. I love that it doesn't necessarily need any primer to wear and that you can step up the intensity with primer.

It's beautiful, gorgeous and shimmery and I would definitely recommend if you feel like you're going to get a good use out of it, otherwise, $28 is quite a lot for such a small amount of powder.

  1. Ah, it's so pretty! I would definitely like to add more exclusive products such as these to my collection, but unfortunately I will have to stick to drugstore brands at the moment, money-wise ;)

    1. Thank you Anna! You're absolutely right. Not too many people seem to want to have actual eye swatches anymore. That is when it's best shown ;3
