Smashbox Photo Set Pressed Powder

I'm fortunate enough to live near an outlet which sells discontinued and occasionally in season Estée Lauder products at discounted prices. On a hunt for a new powder last week I bought one of my first ever smashbox products. 

I bought the powder in colour 'Light' which was the lightest one they had, but in the future I'll end up getting a 'Fair' because I feel it's too orange for my skin tone. I suppose I'm just used to being ghostly and a bit of colour will do me some good.

However I have absolutely fallen in love with this product! Since I've started using it, I've had nothing but compliments on how refreshed and radiant I look, despite having no sleep.

The powder is light and gives an amazing coverage, even when using minimal. It sits nicely on top of foundation and concealer without looking 'cakey.'


It's selling for £19 on the smashbox website, however I got it for £13.50. I definitely got a bargain! My only criticism is that when applied onto a brush, there's quite a bit of fallout from the compact, even when used sparingly. So I fear it may run out soon.

I feel completely covered and matte for however long I wear it, without needing to top it up, even after a disgusting sweaty day of rushing around at work. I'm definitely buying some more next time I'm near the outlet.
