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

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
