The cost of this product varies from place to place, but it always costs a fraction of all other face products out on the market today! I had low expectations for this NYC product because the cost was just to good to be true. My expectations were wrong and I will definitely be repurchasing this product over and over again! The container I bought is about the size of my fist and unlike other products, NYC has filled it over halfway instead of trying to cheat consumers by only filling it up partially. The amount of product you get for the price is phenomenal.

The container has a sleek black lid and a clear bottom so you can see the actual color of the product before you buy it. I have had a ton of problems with the container for the product. When you open it up for the first time there is a sponge applicator sitting on top of a sticker that covers the holes that the product dispenses out of. Upon removing the sticker for the first time I was so excited that the perfect amount of product is put onto the sponge.

The second time I used the product it was a different story... I opened the lid and powder fell everywhere. It was a mess! There was no way to close off the dispenser so the product filled the top section of the container and lid. It is a lot of work to open and close the container because no matter what I try, product falls everywhere. I am going to try and move this product into a different container here shortly because the everyday struggle is getting old.

the product itself is amazing! I have been using this product for around 3 weeks and I have no complaints. the color I purchased was in the shade 742A Natural Beige. It is an exact match to my skin, but it also works for my sister's skin which is a little lighter than mine. The product is very matte and does not have shimmer in it like a lot of other face powders out there.

When I do not apply concealer first this product gives me just enough coverage to hide under eye circles, blemishes, and redness without making my skin look fake. I have found that it is only necessary to reapply about every 7 hours because it soaks up facial oil and hides it for about that long! It is perfect for any occasion and every day use! I have combination skin and this product does not exemplify any dry areas and covers dry skin like a charm. It makes everywhere on my face look really smooth and clean!

I love this product and will definitely repurchase it over and over again. I would recommend anybody with any skin type to use this product!
