A REVIEW on my first beauty product : CoverGirl TRUblend Minerals Loose Powder

I have been collecting cosmetics since I started to watch makeup tutorials way back in 2009. My good friend, Eri introduced these lovely creations to our circle of friends. We're not that kikay then. She advised us that watching tutorials can lessen the stress that we're having in the academe. @__@

Eri gave me my very first makeup! (BTW, is this considered as one? X.X) My other friends were jealous! (Sorry, girls! You're too fair to wear this shade :P) 

CoverGirl TRUblend Minerals Loose Powder in the shade of Translucent Honey

This loose powder may give you a pop of glow (since it contains microfine glitters) and may serve as bronzer (it can give you a sun-kissed skin effect). 

I advise that if your skin tone is lighter, do not over apply the product. Remember, less is more! <3 

The packaging comes with a special pro-sifter  that 'sifts' and dispenses the product. According to the instructions, this is how you should use it:

It comes with a powder puff.

The actual product

Here's the swatch (how does it look like after I have applied it on my skin):

and another swatch (regular bond paper):

 Now, for my DEFINITION:

✔ Pros:

• It's easy to blend.
• Doesn't contain any weird smell.
• It's very light. You can feel that your skin can still breathe. :)
• The product can really last for 3 years! You'd only need just a little amount and you're all good ;)

✘ Cons: 

• It's messy. You may over apply it if you'll use the product's powder puff.  
• The container is too big! It doesn't come in handy. It can really eat a huge space of your makeup kit. 
• It's a bit expensive for a drugstore loose powder.

 ✿ Putting it all together:

The product suits my skin type. The quality is OK and this powder just works fine. I recommend using a separate brush (e.g., powder, kabuki, or blush brush) for easier and cleaner application.

My rating for CoverGirl TRUblend Minerals Loose Powder is:

★★★✰✰

I hope this review helps. Thanks for reading :)
