Revlon Photoready Powder

I bought this powder around half a year ago at a makeup sale for around $10.00 NZD. I got it in 10 Fair/Light (I can't remember the exact price). I used it for about a month or two until I hit the pan, and decided to get a new powder just before it ran out. I kind of forgot about this powder for a while, but recently I have been using it again.

I really like this powder just because theres quite a large amount of product for the price (7.1g) , and it comes with a mini mirror and a little brush! Sadly the brush isn't amazingly soft, but its really good for touch up makeup in the bag, as the container is quite sturdy. The product also comes with a little mirror which is great because it makes it really portable and easy to use. The product itself works really well for my skin, which is combination. Its great for oily faces, and works really well on camera. (Photoready does apply) However in my opinion it doesn't have amazing coverage for me, as I do have quite a lot of scars on my face. It does cover the oil on my face and controls the shine and definitely does not feel heavy!


One minor problem with this product is that if you do use the brush, and don't clean it very often, it will definitely dirty your mirror, and you'll have to constantly clean your mirror, and/or your brush. I also felt as if the brush would irritate my skin, (its definitely not the greatest quality for a brush) but its okay for on the go stuff.







Overall
Pros:
Lightweight
Small Mirror and Brush incl.
Good amount of product.

Cons:
Low-Medium Coverage
Brush has hard bristles

Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

So went online (beautynet.korea) and decided to try the legendary "Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder" I have absolutely NO REGRETS. It smells absolutely amazing, and comes in a cute little container. The only downside is that the product is SO SMALL. I really thought the product was going to be much bigger but, no matter what I think that it is so worth it.It cost around $7.00 NZD which is not much for a powder in New Zealand.

The powder is a translucent white powder that makes skin look natural. I would definitely reccommend this to ANYONE with oily skin (like most of us teens), this is great for sebum control, compared to my Missha Powder, which lasted quite a long time 4-5 hours? This powder, lasted me a whole day, and there was absolutely no makeup sliding off my face and no oily skin visible. This is because the powder, absorbs the excess sebum on the face.

The powder has a minty smell which is quite nice, and fresh. The mint, and the minerals used to make the powder are from Korea's Jeju island, and are all used for oil control and moisture for healthy skin. It does not cake up on the skin, making it look unnatural, or too powdery which is amazing. 

This is also paraben-free, artificial scent free, no artificial colours, mineral oil free and definitely NO animal products.

Now I totally understand why this is every girl's holy grail, because it does definitely live up to the hype.

Overall:
Pro:
Good smell
Simple clean packaging
AMAZING results

Con:
Little product (5g)

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream is definitely an amazing BB cream. It comes in 4 different shades:

13 milky beige, 21 light beige, 23 natural beige, 27 Honey Beige and 31 golden beige

I decided to buy No. 21, and after using it for around 1 month I realised it was a little grey/pale for me, it made me look sickly :/ However, other than that, it is seriously an amazing BB cream, it does not cake on the face and it has high coverage. I bought it for $39.50 NZD and it comes in a 50mL pump bottle. There is also a smaller size, for around 24.90NZD and its 20mL. 

Missha's BB cream is also SPF42 PA+++ So you won't need to wear extra sunscreen underneath your BB cream, which saves time and money!  How ever the BB cream does leave a sort of white caste on the face probably due to the high SPF. And if you have acne ridden skin like myself, you may need an extra bit of concealer to help over bumps and redness. This BB cream does not melt during summer so this is a great makeup to wear during summer. This BB cream has a light scent similar to baby lotion and does not irritate the skin.

This BB cream also has many ingredients which are great for the skin! 

Camomile Extract: has anti inflammation properties and has a soothing effect, it also helps the restoration of skin cells and weakens allergic reaction.
Rosemary Extract: Prevents skin from aging and it also has calming, soothing, anti-fungal and anti-oxidation properties.

Ceramide: is a main ingredient and is made mostly of stratum coreneum, keeping skin moisturized with its moisture holding effects. 

Hyaluronic Acid: Is one of the Natural Moisturing Factors (NMF) ingredients made by Biotechnology. Protecting skin from irritations and bacteria, keeping skin moist while creating a thin and transparent barrier on the epidermis

GatulineRC:  From the extract of Beech bud, it promotes metabolism and holding energy effect and is good for firming and moisturising effects

>Great coverage

>High SPF (42 PA+++)

>Amazing ingredients helping to regenerate skin

>Hypoallergenic 

>Light scent

>Quite pricey

>Has a slight white caste

Missha The Style Face Powder

This morning I tried Missha's "The Style Face Powder", and I must say I was very impressed. The product is packaged very simply and cute. However the product tends to "leak" everywhere, and create a dust of powder when opened. Otherwise the actual usage was quite good; and is quite suitable for oily skin like mine, I have managed to go through 8 hours without getting any trace of oil on my face (so far).

I bought this for $10.00NZD but was originally $20.50NZD, and is definitely worth the price as there is 18g of product too. I bought this powder in #3 Natural Beige. Looking closely at the powder I notice that there are lots of little glitter pieces; but to be honest they're barely noticeable. The powder also has a slight fragrance; very similar to baby powder.

The product comes with a powder puff and personally I quite like this because it has quick and easy application and spreads the product evenly across the face.

> Prevents oil up to 8 hours 

> Easily absorbed into face

> Loose mineral powder that controls oil

> Provides flawless and oil free skin

However the powder comes out in large amounts and in my opinion a large amount of product is most likely wasted in the process. Overall I quite like the product and will most likely repurchase. :D
