Review: Revlon New Complexion Loose Face Powder

This is my go to powder in setting my makeup because I only need very little amount of product to keep my face oil free for hours. It's a little pricey compared to local brands but it has 30 grams of product which will last you for a few for a year or more. The shade I have is in Translucent #2 and matches my skin really well. I also like the tub packaging and the size of the cap because it makes it easy for me to work the powder on my brush from there. 

Revlon New Complexion Loose Face Powder 02

I only use this much per application

I don't use the puff because I just prefer to lightly dust the powder all over my face using a soft brush. I lightly dust the powder all over my face using my ELF Studio Complexion Brush and they work perfectly together :). I didn't remove the label anymore to avoid wasting the product from spillage, which is often the case with loose powders. That way I can control how much powder I want to dispense. I only need a very  amount small to set my makeup and keep it in place. You can layer it if you want but apply little by little so there's not much excess powder and so it doesn't cake.

The powder is very mild on the skin and doesn't break me out. It's is very fine and blends with the skin nicely and doesn't clog the pores. It also controls my oil keeping my face shine free for hours. This is ideal for combination to oily skin. Overall this product is really good as a finishing/setting powder for me. I have used this product for quite awhile and I haven't had any problems thus far :).

My verdict is 4 STARS! 

Loose Powder: Palladio Natural Rice Powder Swatches and Review

I got this loose powder last year and I just used it last week because I still have my Revlon Loose Powder. I wanted to use up the revlon powder first but I think it will take a long time before I finish it so I decided to open this up instead because I couldn't wait any longer. I bought this from Beauty Bar in MOA and the price is at P325 ($7.75) for 17grams of powder which is a lot! I think this will last me up to 6 months.

The powder is very finely milled and goes on smoothly. If you check the above swatches, you can see how nicely it blends on my skin. I am an NW25 or NW30 and Natural RP06 is perfect for me. I only applied it in the middle part of my skin and if you look closer, you can see the the top and bottom part of my skin on the swatches is not powdered but it isn't noticeable. It fills the lines of my skin making it look more even and natural that I can still see my skin. 

What I love most about this product is it sets my makeup well. It makes my skin luminous and healthy looking when it blends with my bb cream. It's non comedogenic so it won't clog the pores, it doesn't cake, and absorbs oil very well so it's perfect for those with oily skin. I have tried a few brands but this is my favorite as this can last the whole day for me and doesn't give a white cast. The quality is really amazing for the price. I expected it to be more expensive actually. It's not only a setting powder but you can also use this highlighter. I don't mind the baby powder scent at all but this could put off other users. It didn't break me out too so I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work with anyone. 

The packaging is plastic and a little small which users complain about but for me it's just the right size. It doesn't close tightly though so it can get messy when the powder spills from the container. What I did to avoid this dilemma is, since the holes of the sifter are a little big I kept the plastic seal there and just punched small holes in between. This controls the amount of powder that comes out when you tap it. So far that keeps my powder in place and help keep the container clean. 

I will definitely repurchase and this product serves 5 STARS!!! This is the best powder I have tried yet.
