Pressed Powders I like to use!

Hi! A little while ago I received a request to review my Miss Sporty So Matte pressed powder because I had shown it in a post. Instead of reviewing my Miss Sporty powder alone, I decided to show all the powders that I use right now and review them all for you.

I already have a review on the first powder by Essence: the all about matt fixing compact powder.
 The other two powders are "Medium" by Miss Sporty and "Natur Sand" by Biocura.

The girl in the background is Marilyn Monroe! It's from "The Last Sitting" with Bert Stern in 1962!


As you can see, of all three powders I have used my Miss Sporty powder most of all. I've had it the longest. When I was younger my mother recommended this one to me and so I kept on buying it over and over again because she told me it was a really great product. This is the third Miss Sporty powder and I've even hit pan on this one! This powder has medium coverage.

I also used to tan really fast so the colour was great. These last years, tanning has become a little bit harder (it doesn't go as fast as it used to), so for the moment I'm quite pale and this powder is too dark for me. That's why I got the two other powders.

The Essence powder is really good because this one absorbs the oil on your face but it doesn't leave any colour. Needless to say I use this one most of the time now.
The Biocura powder does leave colour on your skin. This powder can be compared to the Miss Sporty powder, the only thing that's different is that the colour is lighter.


All the powders are very affordable. They all cost about thesame amount of money, which is around €3 / $4.

Do you have any powders to recommend? Leave them in the comments!
Thanks for reading!

Essence all about matt fixing compact powder review

Hello you guys, today I'm reviewing one of my newest powders. I'm talking about my Essence matt fixing powder. I was doubting a little bit when I first saw it on a beauty blog but I got it and tested it anyway.

The packaging is quite simple. See through plastic with hot pink letters on it. To be honest, I don't care at all how the packaging of a powder looks. It is important with products like lipstick, eyeshadow or blush (sometimes), but it's not like I judge the look of my powder that much. Same here with this powder. Less is more!


I'm just going to say it: I love this powder. Just like me, a lot of people could be doubting about getting this powder because they're afraid it's going to make them look white(r). For me that's not a problem but the colour of the powder won't be a problem for anyone - it doesn't show up.

The fact that this powder is white is actually really good. A lot of people may think "I don't want to look like a ghost" but you don't see the white colour on your face.
It just abs orbs the oil from your face and my T-zone tends to get oily so this will help me to solve the oil problem - it's also handy if you just went for a run or if it's really hot outside and you're sweating a little bit.
 
Also, most of the other powders I have are skintoned, but when looking closely, you can always find stains or spots where there is more powder than somewhere else and I just don't like it if you can see the powder. At all. I don't want it to be seen at all, which is again why this powder is so nice.

 

So yes, I do really like this powder, I think it does a great job. It doesn't show up, yet it does absorb the oil, which is exactly what I want.
I just started using this one but if I ever run out of it, I'm already pretty sure I will repurchase!
