Empty Review: Revlon Nearly Naked Powder

 

I am very proud of myself that I finish a drugstore pressed powder. Normally I cannot finish drugstore pressed powders because I do not think they work as wonder as department store powders.

Despite the fact I am not a fan of Revlon Nearly Naked foundation, I like Revlon Nearly Naked pressed powder very much.

The texture is so creamy and soft, which reminds me a lot of Diorskin nude. The coverage is light to medium, so I can use it either as a setting powder or a powder to add some more coverage. It's a pity that the lightest shade they offer here in Canada is 020 light, which is a tad darker than my skin. But it works so well as a light bronzer. Because the texture is so creamy and the powder is so finely milled, I can layer the powder and never feel it cakey on my skin.

The packaging is neat and clean, I prefer this white over black case.

Unfortunately the price is a little bit on the pricey side for a drugstore pressed powder, because it has only 8 grams and costs $11.99 CAD plus tax. I wish it could be cheaper.

Revlon Nearly Naked pressed powder is definitely a quality powder. I wish it could have more color selection and they can contain more products inside (for example 10 grams of pressed powder).

FOTD: Clarins Extra-Comfort Foundation

Today I put my Clarins Extra-Comfort Foundation on my entire face. I found the finish and texture are very similar to Clarins Everlasting Foundation. It has a medium to full coverage, the lasting power is superb--for more than 9 hours, and the texture is creamy and easy to blend. So far I do not see any different between Extra-Comfort and Everlasting Foundation. But it's 15 dollar more expensive than Everlasting foundation!! Maybe it's because of the anti-ageing formula which makes it so expensive. Will keep trying my new Extra-Comfort foundation and see.
