Maybelline White Super Fresh Compact Review

11:49:00

Hello beauties,

Recently i just posted on insta about my maybelline products. So this week while I was checking out for Maybelline velvet matte lipsticks I came across this super cute Maybelline White Super Fresh Compact. I knewed its a new launch product so i just asked price and to my surprise it happened to be of just 150/- bucks which is such a cheap price for a compact. Yes dolls without giving a thought i grabbed it. Here i am reviewing Maybelline white super fresh compact.

This compact comes in blue and white box packaging. The compact case is round in shape completely white in color with Maybelline written over it. It has got mirror on one side with a puff. The puff can be used only from one side.

Product Description:
Women feel their complexion looks and feels best in the morning- right after applying the compact. However, as the day goes on, ordinary compacts may mix with sweat and oil. Making the complexion look dark, dull and patchy. And feel cakey and dirty.
Product Claims:
-Perlite: A pure mineral with skin perfecting powers. Visibly lightens complexion, while absorbing sweat and oil.
-UV filters: protects skin from both sun darkening and damage.
-12hr fair, fresh and perfect: Fair, fresh and protected, your complexion looks and feels perfect all day long- even in hot, humid weather.

L-SHELL R-PEARL

This compact comes in 3 shades Pearl, Shell & Coral.

Pearl is the lightest one which perfectly matches my skin tone. I also got Shell for my mom as she has medium complexion with yellow undertones. Coral is the darkest shade available. I found the shades are very limited. And many of you may find difficult to get a perfect match.

I applied this compact using a puff it was easy to blend with it. The application was smooth and soft. I had applied moisturiser as compact are bit drying on my skin. I generally don’t use compacts but this one is just a perfect shade for my complexion which makes it apt for using on daily basis. Its more of a pink tone then the yellow. The texture is smooth and powder is finely milled. It can be bit unforgiving if you have super dry skin. I would recommend this for normal to oily skin. This compact comes with Perlite which helps to absorb sweat and oil giving visibly light complexion.

It gives light coverage and doesn’t contain any spf although they claim to have uv filters but you will have to use your sunblocks. This compact has floral citrus fragrance which doesn’t stay for long. This fragrance adds to freshness of compact. After application my face was looking bright and radiant giving me a super fresh feel. This compact gives me matte finish. It stayed on for 7-8 hrs as my T zone is oily I had to do touch up for my nose area. It doesn’t help in camouflaging acne marks or blemishes. Once the powder sets in it gives me natural look. It doesn’t look cakey or patchy. Feels super light on skin. Doesn’t feel you have layer of powder on your skin.

And as it claims that it wont mix with sweat and oil making your face dull is quite true. Because it did help to keep my face shine free and oil free for long time.

Overall recommended for hot and humid weathers. Its one of the best cheapest drugstore compact one can have. I am definitely going to buy this again. At such price its ok for me to not have spf in it. One thing could have stopped me from buying it is the shades available but as Pearl matches my skin I am happy to buy this compact. I have already started using it on my daily basis. Have you tried Maybelline White Super Fresh Compact?

How to Use:
Apply all over the face and neck with the puff provided. Blend well around the eyes, along the hairline and jawline, for a naturally perfect-looking complexion

NEW!! LOREAL PARIS MAT MAGIQUE TRANSFORMING POWDER ALL IN ONE REVIEW

13:52:00

Hello everyone

Today I will be reviewing newly launched L’Oreal paris Matte Magique transforming powder. First of all let me tell you all that I was a big fan of L’Oreal Matte Magique soufflé which was later on discontinued. I use to apply it every single day. And now after long time L’Oreal came up with Matte Magique powder which belongs to same range of Matte Magique souffle.

L’Oreal has almost all powder compact range in 1000/- INR but to my surprise this one was just for 399/-INR which was quite reasonable compared to True Match and Infallible powder.

There are 6 shades available in this I got the light one which is N2 nude vanilla its for fair skin having yellow undertone according to Mac shading system this is for NC20-NC25.

What product claims-
1.PRIMES+
Poreless skin perfection that lasts 12H shine free.
2.PERFECTS+
Covers pores and minimizes appearance of all blemishes and skin imperfection.
3.BRIGHTENS+
Impeccable instant fairness. Complexion enjoys a just out of shower fresh finish and sensation.

The outer packaging is of pink metallic paper box and the product comes in a round transparent plastic case with two compartments . It comes along with the puff and mirror in one of the compartment while other has a powder.

The thing I most loved about this product is that it contains SPF 34pa++

That means it s gonna protect your skin from harmful sun rays. It also clamis to have VOLCANIC PERLITE a natural yet powerful sebum absorbent.

I also have Maybelline dream satin compact but I found L’Oreal shades more suitable to my skin and I liked its packaging too it was very attractive then the Maybelline ones. I am using this powder from almost 15 days and i observed that it was great for my combination skin as it helped to mattify my T zone.

Lets talk about its texture . This particular compact has won my heart the powder glides on so smoothly blends into my skin completely. When I am not using any foundation powder sticks to my skin without giving any dryness and patchy look .

I also loved using this as a setting powder. This compact which can be used on everyday basis by normal to oily skin. I don’t use puff for application most of the time I use a powder brush for smooth even application. After application skin don’t feel cakey or powdery even when you have used them over foundation it completely mattifies the skin. I also use them under my eyes to set concealer as it’s a yellow tone powder. It gives light to medium coverage does not cover dark spots. It claims to 12H Shine free which is not true. I have a oily Tzone and after few hrs of application my forehead and chin started getting oily. But it was not too shiny. It also manages my skin too look pores less and even toned. Its is a sweatproof and waterproof powder so you can use them on sunny days too.

Overall recommended its totally worth the price having good number of shades which can suit Indian skin tone. The packaging makes it look pricey which is a good thing. You can use it everyday as it contains SPF too. There is not much cons about this product except for if your skin is combination to oily it wont keep you Shine free for long time. Still when you do touch up it gives your skin matte effect again.
