Advantages: great powder, gorgeous compact

Disadvantages: limited range

Chanel pressed powder compact. I have used this product for years and find it a reliable stable and although there are better powders available nothing beats getting the Chanel compact out to check one's lipstick in it's mirror!

Being very fair skinned I use 02 Plein Jour which is an excellent colour for me given that the range is limited. The powder has average coverage and a translucent effect which means it does not build up and gives a natural coverage for day use as the name would suggest.

The packaging is the Chanel trademark black with the logo on the lid - discrete not blatant - a squarer compact with rounded corners. Opening is easy (no nail chipping ladies!) and the mirror takes up the entire inner lid area which is brilliant for those impromptu checks. The compact comes with a perfectly white velour sponge which applies well and fits snugly over the rounded pressed powder within.

I tend to buy at airports (usually duty free) so I will not comment on price. This powder lasts me a year or more as it has durability so I find it very cost effective.

A thing of beauty.

Summary: Chanel chic!
