My Opinion: - I have been using
this loose powder for nearly 2 years now and I would continue using this for as
long as it is available. I was not into loose powders and always used Revlon
Touch & Glow Moisturising Compact, which I still love very much. But after
seeing this in the counters and hearing about it from a blogger friend, I
planned on purchasing it. The rose powder is aptly named as the fragrance of
this loose powder is just like fresh roses. The packaging is
maroonish-brownish, typical Lakme, sturdy plastic tub and the base is white
transparent. On opening the screw on lid, a transparent sifter can be seen with
only 5 holes. It is extremely difficult to dispense the powder through those 5
holes and I have to open the sifter to dip my brush in the tub and I am always
worried about contamination.
A puff/applicator
comes along with the loose powder, but it’s of no use as it picks up too much
product. Using a brush is the best option with this powder. This powder is
light weight and gives sheer to light coverage. So I don’t think the shade
color makes much of a difference, though mine is soft rose as I am on the
fairer side. This shade is a light pink but gives the look of a translucent
powder on application. This rose powder sets foundation very well and gives a
matte-smooth look to the face. I opt for this one when I want a shine free and
matte look but whenever I need a dewy glow on my face, I opt for Avon Ideal
Shade Loose Powder or my other compact powders.
Using too much
product will give a dry look to your face and it will eventually end up become
cakey. So I use a little amount of powder, dip the brush into the powder, tap
it and dust over my face. It’s a fine and light weight powder and it’s
extremely difficult to control it if the fan is on. It makes a big mess by
flying everywhere. But one good thing about this loose powder is that it does
not dry out my skin even in the harsh winters. It never broke me out till date
nor did it irritate my skin in any way. At Rs 85 for 40 gms is dirt cheap, and
takes nearly a year get finished off. It
controls the shine on my oily skin for about 4-5 hours in an air-conditioned
environment, but in summers it’s lasting power is 3 ½- 4 hours at the most.
What more can I expect from this cheap but good loose powder.
