The Body Shop Loose Powder review

hey everybody.........
as you all know I had hauled some TBS products a few days ago.One of them was the TBS loose powder,on the advice of Ankita from Corallista makeup blog here .Thanks Ankita,its awesome.
I have an combination oily skin which tends to become more oily in the summers.I also have started using the MAc satinfinish mineralize foundation, which is very dewy.

So needed a loose powder to set my makeup .I used to think that loose powders are for light coverage and pressed ones for a more opaque one.Boy,was i wrong. Karen of makeupandbeautyblog.com has this video where she talks about both .Check it out here .

ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The powder comes in a small plastic box with a screw able steel lid.On opening the lid there is a plastic lid with holes covered with a plastic film.
The film has to be removed prior to use.
QUANTITY: 14 gm. expiry date 36 months

MAKES  MY WALLET LIGHTER BY RS 800/-INR.

• The TBS Loose powder in shade 03,is a super fine loose powder.It gives a medium to full coverage(depends on application).
• It gives a matte look after application and makes my T zone oil free.
• It helps to set my makeup .
• I usually use it over my MAC satinfinish mineralize foundation.
• I have also used it on my  naked face without foundation.I conceal my dark circles and use only the powder,which gives a super glow to my face which is oil free..

PROS
soft,silky feel
Good coverage
Mattifies the face
Keeps makeup on longer (definitely,for 5-6 hours).This is especially good for people who live in humid climates.e.g mumbai.

CONS

• The case has holes which has to be tilted for the powder to reach the brush.This causes wastage and I hate that coz its not cheap at all.
• There is no brush available.Currently I use my TBS powder brush.
• Price for quantity of product is too much.

Rating 4/5..so many cons!
REPURCHASE??? yes,but will be trying out MAC next first...If thats better( which I am pretty sure ,is) then buhbye to this one

  

Have you all used this powder yet?whats your experience with this???
