Review: Yves Rocher Velvety Loose Powder

I got this loose powder in Beige Transparency. 
The loose powder is stored in a plastic purple jar. The puff comes with is not ultra soft-- but as a free puff the quality is nice enough . It is not as good as cle de peau's loose powder puff which you should spend more than 20 dollars for one. 
To be honest, I was a little bit disappointed with this loose powder. I thought it was transparent, but it's not. It's actually quite pigmented. I was looking for a loose powder that does not take away the beautiful glow from my cream foundation and unfortunately, it fails to do so.
The powders is very finely milled and airy light. It fixes make-up well. The staying power is good, it does not transfer for more than 6 hours.
The finish is too matte for my liking. The Beige Transparency is a little bit darker than my nc 20 light skin. However, since it's so light, it does not leave marks on the skin. 
It has the same scent and same coverage as the Yves Rocher's Matte Comfort Powder. It's actually the loose powder version of Matte Comfort Powder. The compact is 8g while this loose powder is 20 g. 
I would say this powder is for those who prefer light buildable coverage with matte finish and for those who are not sensitive to fragrance and have combination skin.
