Great Expectations 10/14/2010
T LeClerc Have you ever had a second date where you're not too sure about the guy, but hey, you had nothing better planned and the first date wasn't that bad? Then you find yourself having an amazing night and one of the best dates of your life. Or you find you yourself staring at him across the table, wondering how come you remembered him being cuter, taller, smarter and funny. My previous pot of powder weighed in at 100g and I assumed that the new pot would be a similar size. Of course assumptions lead to disappointment when the 35g arrived. Completely my fault as it states the size on the website, but it did mean readjusting my expectations. The previous powder had been used all over the body, giving a beautiful feel & shimmer, but this pot seems destined for the face & cleavage at the most. No powder puff which was disappointing but for the face I do prefer to use a brush, and no shimmer which made it much more suitable for trying during the daytime. Made with cornstarch (the same ingredient that make's Benefit's Dr Feelgood so good to combat shiny skin), the powder really does help give a silky smooth finish. My skin felt gorgeous after a light dusting and it lasted a decent amount of time (a relief as it's not the type of packaging you can just pop in to your portable make up bag). The shade of powder I tried (Parme) is meant to give a white glow to the skin and while it works as an anti-bronzer I wasn't convinced that it made that much of a difference normally. But it does solve the problem for those very fair skinned who find the lightest shades normally too orange. Overall I liked it once I'd gotten past my initial disappointment. It won't oust my favourite everyday powder but it runs a close second and I'm looking forward to trying the other shades over time. But For now I've mixed it with glitter and marked it for my Christmas act to give a sparkled snow white effect.
