Advantages: Leaves skin smelling sweet

Disadvantages: Can dry out skin

This was the first dusting powder I bought, I don't use talcum powder at all because it makes my skin too dry, it really feels awful and then I have to drench myself in baby oil so I can stop cringing every time I move!

I thought I would try this as it has tiny slivers of cocoa butter in it so it will moisturise the skin.

When I opened the tub I could smell vanilla and jasmine but it was a very soft subtle smell, really nice and sweet but not overpowering.

I made sure I was totally dry before applying this as I wanted it to go on smoothly and not clog. I decided to apply it using a big puff - the Benefit kitty one.

It does feel very soft and smooth on the skin and it went on well and absorbed quickly. At first I felt fine but I then felt my skin starting to dry out and feel very tight so I had to slather myself in moisturiser - not good!

I have since learnt that if I want to use dusting powder I must moisturise first then apply this later and it feels great and leaves my skin smooth and subtly fragranced.

I wouldn't buy this powder again though as I much prefer candy fluff but this is great for those who have an aversion to glitter.

Summary: Use a moisturiser first!!!
