This is my all-time favourite powder. At only $2-3 a pop, you really can't go wrong. It is the perfect translucent powder; it doesn't clog pores, it sets face makeup, and it keeps my face from...

I recently purchased this powder after reading positive reviews on this website. After realizing that my foundation would probably last even longer if I set it with a translucent powder, I decided...

I got this to try because my covergirl loose powder is too dark for my skin in the fall/winter. Its a transluscent powder and there really isn't too much to be said about it. I sets my foundation...

Got this when I ran out of my BECCA powder since it was cheap and I'd only need it for a day or two until my order arrived. Guess I'm spoiled with Becca, because I thought this stuff was awful....

I used to use Cover Girl's translucent loose powder. When I ran out I saw this and decided to give it a try instead. I'm very glad I did. Even though the CG is supposed to be 'translucent light'...

I LOVE THIS!!! I have pale skin, and all of my other powders caked up and looked like a mask, but this is fantastic! It covers well, and feels fresh and light on my skin. I really like this a lot!

I've loved this one for years. Tried many others, but nothing quite measures up - they certainly don't do more and you can't beat the price! This is my power setter, smoother and oil absorber....

I have been using this product for so many years! I can't seem to stop coming back to it! I find it to always give a smooth, matte finish. Never chalky or cakey looking! And for $2.50CDN, I can't...

I found this powder made me look quite cakey. I figured maybe powder wasn't for me, but once I tried others, I realized it was just this brand. For the price though, it's worth a try. I won't...

I love this stuff! A little really goes a long way, and I'm glad this doesn't add extra color to my face, because my foundation already runs a little on the dark side for me.
