Made in USA

I bought this online and purposely bought this even though it's much darker than my skintone to be used with my CoverGirl Aqua Smoothers Make Up in 710 Classic Ivory which is lighter than my usual Buff Beige Shade.

 

I've tried using it one my bare face and it is translucent. Good thing I saw this on eBay for Php150 only!

It didn't break me out. I will probably buy this or the Blue (Oil COntrol) variant in Buff Beige too if I see this again online. :)

Pros:

• Non- Comedogenic
• Hypoallergenic
• no breakouts! :)

Cons:

• no spf

Nice powder :) Hope I can find this online in Buff Beige in cheaper price! :)

This powder is very milled and the powder puff is so soft. The powder is transparent on me. I'm oily after an hour but that's normal with me. It smells like Myra Vitawhite face lotion. Didn't made my face itchy so it's good. It has spf 15.

This Product contains Mineral Oil.

Pros:

• Hypoallergenic and Dermatologist-tested - no itch
• has spf 15
• the puff included is super soft!
• has vitamin E 
• smoothens face

Cons:

• oily after an hour 
• super sheer coverage

Im not impressed with this product but I'm not dissapointed either. A good powder if you have normal skin even though it says it's a shine-free product.

I was ignoring this before for I thought it will cause me breakouts because of its cheap price but finally I bought this and I was surprised. It's a pretty decent powder that is unscented. It doesn't make my face itchy and the beige shade fits my skintone. The box says that it has sunscreen protection. I don't have a problem with the packaging though it's a little old fashioned xD. 

Pros:

• cheap
• unscented
•  has sunscreen

Cons:

• nothing! :)

Price Watch: This is now Php99 in a new plastic box packaging.

Sophie Martin Paris - Sophie Compact Powder

Shade: Natural
Net weight: 8g
Price: Php190
Made in Indonesia

 Ingredients: Talc, Corn (Zea Mays) Starch, Mica, Polymethyl Metacrylate, Dimethcone, Squalene, Zinc Stearate, Diisostearyl Malate, Dimethyconol stearate, Methicone, Quaternium-15, Fragrance, Tocopheryl Acetate.
May contain: CI 77891, CI 77491, CI77499

 This product comes without a box but is sealed. I just tried this powder today. Although there is fragrance listed in the ingredients, I don't smell any fragrance at all. Coverage is sheer. The texture is very milled powder so it feels nice when you touch your face.

This is a very small compact, perfect for those who always carry a small bag. But it has no mirror attached so have to bring another compact or a mirror for your touch ups. Pic posted for size comparison.

Pros:

• no scent detected
• lightweight
• fits in your small bag
• not itchy in my skin/ no break outs
• affordable price

Cons:

• has no spf
• only 2 shades available - Light and Natural
• oil slick after an hour or so.

I'm a heavy user when it comes to powders for I rarely use liquid foundation. This 8gram powder will only last at least a month on me. The shade is a bit darker for me so I think I should have bought this powder in Light Shade. It's a nice buy for those with normal skin (use moisturizer with spf first before putting this on) but for people with oily skin I suggest you try something else like Sophie Martin Paris' Koshize T-zone powder which I will try to get my hands on once it gets stocked (It's OOS last time I checked)
