Review: Essence All About Matt Fixing Loose Powder

Hi girls,

 

Hope that you all are doing good. I was on a trip to my mother's place that is why could not post anything on this blog. It was a week filled with fun moments and lots of relaxation. It is always good to stay stay at my maternal home for few days and enjoy with siblings.

 

Today I am sporting Essence All About Matt Fixing Loose Powder. I am using this product for months now but never got a chance to review it. One of my reader asked me to review this as I mentioned it in my Best buys under 500 post . Lets see why I love this product.

What Essence Claims:

mattify and set! this extremely fine, transparent loose powder is invisible on your skin and provides a matt and natural look. the loose powder is also ideal for blending blush or foundation and can be used as a finishing powder to set your entire make-up

 Ingredients:


ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, POLYETHYLENE, DISODIUM EDTA, SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE, BUTYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN.

My Thoughts:

I was searching for a fixing transculant powder when I spotted this on essence counter. I tried it there and instantly fell for how smooth it looks when applied it on my face.
It comes in a plastic round box. When you removes its lid, another plastic lid with small holes in it reveals where you swirl your brush and apply it on your face. A little goes a long way.
I am not a fan of its packing as it gets messy when using not carefully, or in a hurry. It is also not suitable for travel purpose as powder settles in the lid and creates mess when you open it.

Powder appears to be white in color but when applied it does not leave any white stains behind. It blends easily with make up and gives matte and smooth appearance. It helps in make up blending ability and fixes foundation and make it stay longer with out giving shiny look. The powder is finely milled and spreads evenly on  face seamlessly. It  blends foundations, blushers, and bronzers more effortlessly in no time. For everyday look, I use it over my BB cream to give matte finish.I apply it using my favorite kabuki brush, but you can use any big powder brush to apply it. My make up stays fresh for hours in the hot and humid weather of Karachi. This product is wonderful for those who have oily skin and sweats a lot.

Beauty on a budget : Best buys under 500 Rs.

Hi dear, few years back I did a post on few products that could be bought under Rs. 100 and believe me I got many compliments and appreciation from my readers. I know this fact that we live in a country where most of the girls still cannot spend much on beauty and make up accessories. I also kept this fact in mind that online shopping is still out of reach for masses here in Pakistan.  Keeping all this in mind I have gathered few products again that are my favorites and some are included in my holy grail products yet these are affordable and available easily nationwide.

Lets have a look at these :

• Loreal Nutri Gloss Mirror Shine Shampoo and Conditioner - I have been using these two for more than three years now and no looking back since then. Price Around Rs. 220 each

• Pond's Pimple Clear Face Wash - A multi action face wash that I have repurchased twice. Also mentioned it in my summer essentials price is Rs.250 -  Read Review HERE

• MUA eyeshadow primer - a very good primer yet affordable Price 250 Rs. 

• Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me - my go to lip balm when I do not feel like doing make up.  I love how it makes my lips soft and kissable. Price Rs. 350

• Garnier BB Creams - for normal skin the other one is for oily skin - I mix both of them to achieve flawless skin with an healthy glow. Price Rs. 400  Read Review HERE

• Essence Kohl Pencil in Black - It is creamy , black , does not tug eyes while applying, the only problem is its staying power. It does not stay put for longer hours or if you have got oily lids. I use it with dusting a little bit black eyeshadow on top of it to make it stay longer. Price Rs. 175 Review coming soon

• Sweet Touch Sparkling Dust - Its a multi purpose shimmering powder - I use it as eyeshadow pigment , some times as highlighter on top of my blusher. Price Rs. 250 - Read Review HERE

• Miss Rose Cake Eye Liner - its an inexpensive alternative to the infamous Karyolan aqua cake liner . it is not the blackest black but does it job well. Rs. 200

While I am writing this post , several other products are keep coming to my mind which I forgot to capture in the above picture. I guess I would have to write another blog post as a sequal to this one. If you have any product in your favorites list , please do share with me and my readers.
