Review: Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder

Holy Crap, long time no post. The last time i posted here I was 16... LOL. I will be starting up this blog again now that I have time :)

First off, I've been using this powder for around 2 years. I have quite oily and acne prone skin.

I got this powder for around 5-6 dollars CDN at Walmart. It comes with 14g of product; which is awesome for the price. The powder itself is very fine and not cakey at all. I don't wear foundation, so I just use it as a mattifying powder. It doesn't provide any/much coverage at all. So, I would classifying it as a setting or blotting powder. I think it comes in around 3-4 shades. I have it in the colour 004 Sandstorm. However, I don't think it really makes a difference which shade you get since it will be translucent anyways ( unless you have darker skin tone).

In terms of controlling oily, this powder did a decent job. My face is very oily and it controlled my oil for around 3 hours until I had to blot. It was a lot better than how my face is naturally; which gets oily within an hour.

The only downside of this product is it's packaging. After a couple of uses, the lid can be effortlessly taken off; in a bad way. The lids closure mechanism seems to wear down a big making it easy for the lid to come off, especially in your purse. Just make sure to carry it in a make-up bag and not in it own so it doesn't ruin your purse if it does open up.

This powders last me a good couple months, even when using it religiously everyday. It definitely a great product for the price and out recommend it to anyone with oily skin.
