My Thoughts
It's true that this is a very different product from the one I used to use years and years ago. I didn't like it back then (too heavy and cakey) but I love it now :) I apply it with a fluffy brush to set my foundation, that way it's not too heavy either. Now, it didn't keep me shine free all day (I do have particularly oily skin), but it kept me matte for longer than any other powder I've used, and instead of going shiny, I'd be more dewey.All in all it's a great product, one I would definitely re-purchase. Rimmel have certainly upped their game compared to what they were like when I was a teenager - impressed!

It's so good isn't it! I really like it :)
DeleteI use this powder too, and I've literally just run out of it.
ReplyDeleteI love it and I'm definitely repurchasing it.
I agree the packaging has changed for the better haha!
Nice review! :)

Yeah it's much better now :) The lid actually stays on!
DeleteSounds like a great drug store deal with oily skin like mine!
ReplyDeleteIt really is :) I have really oily skin too :)
DeleteI'm still of the unpopular opinion about this powder! I don't like it at all, I think it's because I'm so pale that even the "translucent" shade comes out yellow on me!

Aww, well nothing can be perfect for everyone :) The Maybelline Fit Me powder is pretty decent too, and of course, Chanel :)
DeleteI love this product. I thought nothing could compare to my beloved MAC MSF Natural, but this is equally as good (if not better) and a fraction of the price - winner winner!
ReplyDeleteFair play that's quite a statement :D
DeleteThis is my favourite powder, I haven't used a different one for about six years now! I'm glad they've changed the packaging, my current one is very cracked, definitely not good for the make up bag! xx
ReplyDeletehehe, maybe time for a new one then :P
DeleteI'm using this for a while and so far I'm impressed. I've never used it before so don't know what the old lid was like but I can't say I'm that impressed with it still, it doesn't feel secure enough for me.

The old lid just slid on and off, so would come off very easily, was even like that when I was a kid and tried it like, 15+ years ago :P
DeleteWhenever I look for this it's always sold out!! I'm on a mission to find it haha xx
ReplyDeleteGutted! I got mine from my local Superdrug, there were lots there :) Shame you don't live in Cardiff :P
