NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Face Powder Review

Friday, 17 May 2013

Hello everyone! I have another review for you today. I recently ran out of my favourite face powder which is the Collection Pressed Powder in ivory- Review Here. I made a quick trip into my local Boots but they didn't have it, so i then went to Superdrug who also didn't have it. I needed a powder as it's essential for keeping my oily skin at bay, i noticed the NYC pressed powder and i like their loose powder so i thought i'd try out the pressed form. 



I picked up the translucent one because although it doesn't look translucent, it has a neutral tone  , which suits my skin. It comes with a sponge applicator but i threw it away because i use my own powder puff to apply it which helps my makeup stay put.
I really enjoy using this powder, it's very fine and doesn't settle into my pores. It lasts for a good 4-5 hours before i need to re-apply. It doesn't disturb the colour of my foundation and does a great job of mattifying my oily skin. 
The packaging looks and feels very cheap but for £1.99 you get what you pay for. I haven't had any incidents with it smashing yet though (touch wood). 
I think this powder will be great as a substitute for when i can't get hold of the Collection powder.
You can purchase this from Superdrug.

Have you tried this product?
