OK, so "miracle" might be a little strong, but the other day my boyfriend called me on my way home from work and said his parents had stopped by and we were all going to dinner. A nice surprise, but I was a little panicked when I looked in the mirror and saw a shiny, red mess -- my makeup had totally faded. Luckily, on my way out of the office I happened to grab Benefit's Get Even powder.

I didn't even know if it would match my skin, but since I didn't have anything else (dang my spring purse cleaning idea), I gave it a shot. Luckily, it matched, and not only that, it got rid of my shine and covered up the lovely blemish on my chin. I was able to show up looking presentable and save myself from embarrassment. Stay tuned for my full review of the product, but so far things are looking pretty good.
