Advantages: nice feeling on skin and natural looking

Disadvantages: rubs off quite easily

I decided to try this as it was on offer for 3 for 2 on Maybelline products at Superdrug. The design of the product is compact and really useful. The bottom of the packet twists out and has a mirror and a powder puff in it. This is great as it seems more hygenic keeping th puff away from the powder as is usually the case with other powders that contain a puff. The mirror although small is very useful for touch ups on the go. It does get quite dusty though so be careful to turn the puff the other way from the mirror.

To get to the powder there is a flip up lid at the top easy to undo but it also quite secure as it is clipped in so it won't fall of and get powder all over your make up case or handbag.

The powder itself is really smooth and light feeling. It is easy to get on your brush or the puff. It blends well on your skin and because it is so fine it gives a natural looking finish and isn't cakey. It feels nice on your skin like you haven't got anything on. It is quite a natural result though and the coverage isn't that thick so if you wanted quite a heavy covberage then this may not be the powder for you.

It last quite well but it does rub off and you will need to touch it up every few hours quite disappointing as my usually powder stays put for longer than this one.

There are lots of colours available so you will be able to find a shade that will suit most skin colours. It is widely available and is usually stocked on the maybelline make up stands. It costs around £6.

I would recommend it if you wanted a natural looking powder but be aware that it doesnt last that long.

Summary: worth trying
