I have been using this powder for a little over a year now but I'm still so in love with it! Before this powder I was using Rimmel London's stay matte powder which I thought at that time amazing. But ever since switching over to this powder, I've never looked back. I bring it with me everywhere, at work, outings, clubbing, traveling. This has quickly become my holy grail powder. It is definitely worth the hype.
A 2-in-1 foundation and pressed powder compact that provides an instant solution to oily, sensitive or problem-prone skin. It contains Eucalyptus and Clove essential oils which treat existing breakouts whilst assisting in the prevention of further imperfections, Camphor and menthol which are antiseptic and cooling botanicals that treat and soothe oily/sensitive areas. Mica provides an airbrushed finish.
There is simply 2 reason to why I'm so in love with this product. How often is it that you manage to find a product that is not only of a high quality (by this I'm saying that it may be comparable to MAC) yet the price is more affordable than the general drugstore brands (in Australia- Revlon, LoReal etc). It currently retails for $12.95 but you can normally get it on special in Priceline starting from as low as $8. Did you know that it's one of BeautyHeaven's top 100 products of 2014?
Originally, this product only had 3 shades that it came in- Natural, Deep Natural, Darkest Brown. But recently they came out with another 3! Yay for more shade selections . There is a new light shade, Light Beige, a medium shade called Nude and a new 'dark/medium shade called, Medium Tan. On the right to can see the shades that I am talking about and where they sit in terms of light to darkest. For reference, I am around a NC 20 in mac but this varies as I'm more on the lighter side and currentlyuse the shade natural. (note, don't you think its slightly confusing that the second darkest shade is called darkest brown and the darkest shade is actually called Medium Tan?)
So what is it specially that I like about this product?It makes my face look flawless but doesn't make my face look caked. It's very easy to build up the coverage even though I feel like the powder alone already provides a light to medium coverage. But I love using this on top of my BB creams and foundations as it gives me a full coverage. It also helps me keep my face matte and helps the longevity of my foundation/BB cream.
There is one minor problem I have with this though. This product is the only product that I ever break, literally. I always keep one in my purse and before I know it the top of the case (clear plastic) would have 'disconnected' or fallen off. This only leads to the actual powder breaking apart and going everywhere. I wish Australis would perhaps put a little bit more attention into this. Other than that I actually like how it has a mirror and sponge in the bottom compartment.
As you can see its so finally milled! Ahh that beautiful silkiness
I definitely recommend you picking up this product as it's one of the best pressed powders I have ever used. It does live up to it's claim of providing a radiant matte complexion.
