Before even trying this product, I found something I didn’t like about it and that was the packaging. I realize this is a drugstore powder but why is the packaging so bland and bulky? At the end of the day, if
I am happy with a product, I can live with bland and bulky packaging, but this particular packaging is extremely difficult to open and there’s no way I can ignore that.
Along with the pressed powder, the compact also includes a small brush. If you are about to use this for the first time or if you are considering purchasing it, do yourself a favor and throw the brush out immediately. It’s useless. There’s no nicer way to put it. It’s small, it doesn’t apply product evenly and it is scratchy.
Unfortunately, the drugstore I purchased this at did not have it available as a tester but again, up until this point, my experience with Revlon products had been great and it was ‘translucent’, I didn’t feel like I needed to swatch it like I would if I was using a product that came in different shades. As it turns out, ‘translucent’ might be the wrong word. I think the description Revlon was looking for was ‘white’. This is a white powder. And it does not blend well at all. I’ve tried blending it but honestly, I think I just end up brushing the product off of my face.
This is supposed to be a setting powder, so I just have to ask, why does it contain a noticeable shimmer? And when I say noticeable, I do mean, noticeable. My husband actually looked at me, then did a double take and said with a laugh, “What’s up Sparkles?” And I’d just like to say, my husband doesn’t notice my makeup often.
Because this ...
I really don’t like it, it makes my skin look dry like its peeling, and it doesn’t cover every imperfection like it says, it actually has pretty light coverage, so if your going to go spend money on makeup I wouldn’t recommend this product.
