Rachel has always been passionate about the beauty industry and was always quick to try out new brands and must-have products, however, she realised Northern Ireland was missing a place to indulge in unique, hard to get products which were up and coming in the beauty world. This shade (translucent) is perfect for brightening but if you want an all-over powder this is probably too light. I don't think I will run out of this in the next 5 years, as my old powder was 12g and I've had that for a year and it hasn't run out yet! My Scottish one and I have recently found out that both of my Grandfathers grandparents were from County Antrim and although I have never been to Ireland I believe that is Belfast so maybe my Great Great Granny had some extremely old version of this.

First of all I have to say there is a strong smell of the product once you take the protective cover of which I know some people may not like but I do not mind as it smells to me personally like a Max Factor Crème Puff Powder Foundation Compact that my Granny / Mother used to use so it holds v special memories for me but if this was not the case I may find the fragrance a bit strong initially as well. It’s quite a finely milled powder and a little goes a long way under eyes, and other dryer areas on your face. I’m a big fan of horror stories but these stories about patients stopping their prescription medications on their own, using lemon/calamansi to lighten up hyperpigmentation, self-treating with high percent peels at home and relying on makeup with SPF as their sun protection are not my thing.If you use this powder already would love to know what you think of it, do you like it as much as me?

It doesn't look heavy or powdery on the skin but it smooths everything over to five a poreless effect to the skin. I am in my 40s so I have a fair few wrinkles, but this doesn't sink into them like many powdered products do. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I like how big the size you’re getting is compared to bigger brands like Laura mercier and gucci, which I have, this is better value.For consumers who are concerned about companies’ policies on animal testing, Skin Deep reports this information. My skin is difficult with powder generally even Laura Geller so I tend to avoid them even though I would love to wear it.
