I picked up the spinach Momenti and had it for dinner the other night. It was delicious -- the toppings were full of flavour, and the crust was light and fluffy but also still crispy. The only downsides I found to it is that it requires an oven or a toaster oven in order to heat it up (and it also cooled very quickly), and that it's kind of pricey for a frozen single meal (this only feeds one person). -

I've tried a few setting powders, but found that some were glittery and others created flashback. I tried the Kat Von D and found it to be natural looking and easy to use, no drawbacks. I wound up buying a travel size (to save money, I couldn't afford the better deal of the .67oz for $38 CA but I could afforf the .19oz for $20 CA).
The travel size comes with a small puff, which I found great for applying to the undereye area pre-shadow application. Applying excess to that area helps protect against fallout from my shadow application, and since I use loose shadows quite often, its a good idea (and saves me spending money on "shadow shields" which are a waste). When I'm done, I brush away the excess, and apply shadow to my lower lashline.
I also dust this over my forehead, nose and chin with a fluffy brush to help keep those areas matte. It lasts about 6 hours on my forehead, and I can gently dust a bit more around my hairline to cut down on shine.
It lasts a long time, I've maybe used half the travel size in 6 months (I use it once a week or so). So I just recently bought the full size on sale, because I love it and figured it'd be better to get the full size for the reasons I mention earlier (better deal). However the full size does not come with a puff, apparently.

After trying other sponge applicators, I picked this up as a dupe to the pricier BB. I started using it about a month ago -- I typically only use it 5-7 times a month. I thought it was great -- it feels great and it works lovely even for undereye. BUT in less than a dozen uses in thelast month, its already started to disintegrate. LIttle bits are coming off it, and the sponge itself is split in places. -
