Thebalm Sexy Mama Anti-Shine Powder

Not the right powder if you have dark circles,my eye area would look dull and grayish. The only powder that works for me is the MAC one,sadly its way too expensive! i got this one is because it was on sale.

First off, this powder is finely milled and is perfect to take on the go for touch ups. I also use it for initially setting my foundation and it always leaves me with a beautiful satin finish. The only thing I wish was different was the packaging. It's very tacky and innapropriate especially when used to touch up in my church's ladies room. Aside from that though, the product is my favorite translucent powder.

I have had this powder for quite a while and really just started using it oas my regualr setting powder. I had been previously keeping it in my handbag for touch ups, due to it's super small and reliable packaging (though I don't love the look on the outside, the compact's magnet is great and really stays shut and the compact is quite sturdy). It is a nice powder, despite the gimicky look of it, for setting my foundation... Not making any dry spots any more noticeable, not making me any more oily or oxidizing my foundation, etc. I did find that it was a tad cakier a look atop my foundation than I like (I definitely prefer the Rimmel Stay Matte to this one). It felt comfortable on, and lasted a good while (though not all day- I've not the chance to touch up but I would say it would need a touch up by about mid-afternoon). The compact took a long time to use up, so I would say you get your money's worth as well.

This translucent powder is the best! While I like a dewy finish, provided by The Balm's amazing tinted moisturizer, I always apply translucent powder to my eyelids, to keep my eyeliner from smearing. This powder blends perfectly with my skin, unlike other "translucent" powders that are white and cakey. Give it a try! I hope they never stop making it. :)

This is my powder of choice to bring in my handbag. I was sold when I saw the packaging, its both cute and really compact! Perfect for a girl like me who do not want a bulky purse. I have tried better powders, but the size adds up for that. With this powder I sometimes have to touch up two times a day instead of one, but that is OK. You get a lot of powder for your buck and I do think its going to take a while to finish this anyway :) I must admit that it sometimes is a little embarrassing to use this in public because of the picture in front. Maybe I'm just getting old and becoming a prude...
