I knew it was time to buy a new powder compact when my old one, the trusty Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine-Free Face Powder, came apart after falling from my desk. There was hardly any product left as I had hit the pan weeks ago and I felt that it was time for a change. I've actually been eying this particular item in The Face Shop:
The Face Shop Lovely Me:ex Angel Skin Powder Pact
“A base make-up that gives a translucent angel-like complexion. Various spherical powders that absorb sebum with a time difference so the skin will be matte and fresh looking all day without any dryness. Has a very light texture that would not burden the skin. Adheres naturally into the skin without any chalkiness and gives a nice coverage making your skin more translucent."
I've been using this powder pact since summer started and I have to say, I love how it feels when I apply it! I use it with my The Face Shop FACE it Power Perfection BB Cream in the morning when I have to leave for work or a quick trip to the mall. It's great for quick touch ups when I go out with friends or when I need to freshen up after a meal. But I'm getting ahead of myself. BOOST and BOO time!
Beauty Boost
- The sales ladies in The Face Shop are very helpful when it comes to identifying the right shade for you so no worries there.
- Super smooth application! I love the way the puff feels when it touches my face.
- The powder itself just glides into place and leaves my skin feeling touchably soft.
- I don't even have to think about how I apply this powder. It's THAT easy to use.
- Absolutely breathable. Feels light on the skin, and there's no acne-causing buildup.
- Doesn't cake up when I apply it (though I have to admit I usually only do one layer).
- The packaging is so pretty! Don't be fooled by the feminine design. It may be bulkier than most compacts but it fits right in your palm and is quite sturdy.
Beauty Boo
- I have an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, most of my chin) so I need something that provides a matte finish for a longer period of time. I'm lucky if the powder keeps me shine-free for 2 hours.
- I favor sheer blushes for that naturally flushed look but the silky texture of this powder (though it's a big plus) makes my blush almost invisible.
- I wish the plastic that keeps the puff separate from the powder was actually part of the compact like some Lioele products featured in various beauty blogs.
I've been using The Face Shop FACE it Power Perfection BB Cream with the The Face Shop Lovely Me:ex Angel Skin Powder Pact and I noticed that they work really well together. I've tried using my powder pact with other BB creams and moisturizers but if you want that flawless coverage, these two items are your best bet. Though I think the lasting power of this powder pact could still be improved, I don't mind reapplying as long as I have the time. But though I love applying this powder in the mornings before I leave for work, I have to admit that it isn't the best makeup for summer since it doesn't stay on the face for a long time.
Still, it's a great product and unless I find something I like better, I will most likely repurchase this when I'm finished with my current powder pact. With the great quality you find in the The Face Shop Lovely Me:ex Angel Skin Powder Pact comes great results!
