As of last week the mislabeling had been corrected on the products that were on shelves in my Walmart. That said, I'm still not a huge fan of this product. Its a shame, because it feels so light and wonderful and I love the texture, but when applied the color looks somewhat uneven. I also notice it does a very poor job at controlling oil. By the end of the day my face was super shiny using this. This may be a decent product for people with dry skin, but I still like my NYC loose drugstore powder better. Wish I could combine the texture of this with the oil controling/lasting power of Coty. There is also very little product despite the big looking container.

I have to add my two cents, that YES the colors are marked wrong on these, and there is most definitely a manufacturing defect. I bought the lightest shade, and it looked like a dark bronzer. So I returned it & told the guy at customer service who advised me to call 1-800-Walmart to tell them about the manufacturing problem. He said his managers wouldn't listen to him if he told them about the issue. Lol, probably true. I did call 1-800-Walmart and tell them (shows how much i love makeup lol) but the woman I spoke to seemed rather incompetent/disinterested/confused, so I don't think that helped much. Maybe Drew will read these reviews and fix the problem lol. Anyway, I checked the other powder shades just to be sure, and when I looked at the 2nd shade as there was one there that was opened so I could check, (there's 3 shades) it was most def much lighter than the shade that is marked as the lightest. So be careful when buying the lightest shade. Unfortunately, unless you find one that's already opened, there is no way to check the shade and if u find one that's already opened, u probably don't wanna buy it anyway, but I digress. Just wanted to warn everyone! The texture of this powder did feel lovely tho, very silky for a drugstore powder. I have a feeling it's a nice powder in the correct shade.

I agree with the person who commented first on this product, the colors seems to be messed up! I bought this in L02 and yes it was much lighter than L01 (which was purchased by my friend with fair skin). So do watch out for that.
I do like the powder. It's very fine, very soft on the face (it does provide that "soft focus" that Drew was talking about).
I actually sprinkle the powder from the main container into the round lid, which works very well.
I sometimes also like to sprinkle some of my loose highlighter into in and use it that way on my face (makes my face appear less flat).

Just a quick PSA: When I purchased this (sometime last week, so early February), the Light (L01) shade was *darker* than the Medium (L02) shade. I had read somewhere that someone else experienced this. I'm hoping that this mislabeling doesn't occur for the next batches.



The packaging is very pretty, but also kind of a PITA. It irked me how hard it was to close. There's this notch on the lid that you have to match up with the groove on the actual container. I fumbled with this for about 5 minutes when I first used it. I suppose this mechanism also helps the lid stay on once you close it, though.



I purchased this in L02 for my NC25ish skin. Like the pressed powder, this loose powder is finely milled. I liked the matte finish I achieved when I initially set this over my liquid foundation. Unfortunately, this powder doesn't do so well with oil control. I began to see some oiliness after around the 3 hour mark. I think the pressed powder does a much better job at oil control, even though it isn't marketed as a mattifying powder. In a nutshell, thumbs up for texture but not for performance.
