Glitter Face

I bought this powder for no reason in particular besides being a compulsive hoarder and it being on sale.

It comes in a basic compact which is functional but slightly bulkier than it needs to be in my opinion. The powder is smooth and makes a fairly good setting powder however does not provide enough pigment to be worn as a foundation which is fairly disappointing for me as I like to wear powder foundations to work.

The thing I loathe about this powder (and pretty much the sole reason that I marked it down so much) that I didn't notice when I first bought it is that it contains glitter in it! Not small finely milled shimmers to make you glow, just big old pieces of glitter.. My boyfriend asked me why I'd put glitter all over my face the first time I wore it.

Overall this is a good setting powder if you don't mind the occasional chunky glitters however if you are in the market for a matte powder or powder foundation I suggest this probably isn't the product for you and I won't be repurchasing.

Meh

This is a relatively cheap powder but I found it not worth the price tag. The powder puff that comes with the foundation is very delicate and breaks easy. I found these powders all to be very orange based, which I don't like. Definitely wouldn't buy again but would use it if it was given to me.

Ok powder

This powder is ok but probably not one I would Re buy. First of all I don't like the packaging; it's extremely big for the amount it contins and is average looking at best. It's not easy to slip in a bag or my make up drawers haha. The powder is ok, it does do a good job of setting but had little coverage and I wasn't overly impressed with the finish, but it is better than a lot. The price is ok, and the range of colours Is great. I definitely wouldn't Re purchase unless was super cheap.

Fit me doesn't fit me

I'm fairly new to the whole foundation/concealer process. I was issued the Fit me foundation stick trial from Beautyreview, so I purchased this powder to match.

The packaging is rather bulky and large compared to the product inside. There is very little product. It's not convenient for a makeup bag, or in fact to fit in my makeup drawers. It is a nuisance.

I find that the formula is very powdery, almost chalky consistency. It goes on nice and easy, but has very minimal coverage which doesn't impress me. I like to have something that is very full coverage, otherwise I don't see the point.

It doesn't set in very well, and I find that when I touch my face, it comes off on my fingers. However it does a nice job of making my face appear brighter.

I do like that it is lightweight as I don't like the feel of make up on my face and it gives you a subtle, natural look, and the light coverage, I guess is a good use on good skin days, where my acne scarring and pimples have faded, but other than that it's pretty mehhh.

While I will continue to use this, I definitely would not re-buy.

Tips: I recommend using it over your foundation and concealer routine to set it all in. Also use a brush, not the applicator it comes with. It is much more effective.

Fit Me Pressed Powder

Wasn't a big fan of this too be honest. To start I felt it did absolutely nothing to my skin when I put it on. Like didn't even look like I had powder on. Was a tad disappointed in it as I had heard great things about it. I thought maybe I had got a dud but my sister was using it aswell because we brought it at the same time. She also said she didn't like it and felt like you were putting nothing on your skin. Although maybe it just wasn't for our skin types I'm not sure.

Also found the packaging so bulky and awkward.

Well it's not bad

I purchased this alongside the FitMe liquid foundation, my experience with it was... meh. It's an okay powder, didn't cake heaps but didn't really natural either. The packaging looked great in the beginning but after a while the text rubs off and the clip-closure is not very reliable in staying closed inside my bag. To be honest I was pretty relieved to have finished it so I can try something else. But hey, I finished it though!

Would not repurchase

This was the first (and only) powder I have ever bought and I used it in conjunction with the fit me foundation as I figured they would be great combined. Waste of money in my opinion! I have never bought another powder after this due to being pretty unimpressed. I felt really cakey, and although had been color matched when they were promoting this line I felt like the color was wrong for me. I do prefer the glowing look over matte, and like my makeup to be breathable and natural looking! think I still have a near full one hidden away somewhere!

Maybelline Fit Me Powder.

Way too sparkly for me, like disco ball drenched in even more glitter sparkly. I find it doesn't do much in terms of combatting natural shine, and if you try layering it, you'll only add on more glitter. It wears off fast too when you do manage to get some powder to stick. I do like the mirror it comes with and the packaging is pretty sleek, but that's basically the only good points.

Powder

This powder does it's job had alright coverage its not my favourite it's good for people on a budget because it's cheep but the downside of this product is that it contains talc which cloggs you're pores and doesn't allow your skin to breathe

Tips: Clean your face well when washing off
