When something has been manufactured this long and has survived the VERY competitive cosmetics industry, one word, TRUSTED. Participating companies must open their processes to independent audits throughout the supply chain.

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. Her recommendations have never failed me and this is one of her favourite and most-used powders so I had to see why she loved it so much. I like to let it sit / bake on my face for at least five minutes before brushing away the excess powder. I personally would not use as a ‘foundation’ even in a different colour as do not like the feel of just applying a loose powder to my ‘bare’ face unless it is the Bare Minerals foundation.

Also helps my eye shadow, eyeliner last longer and my skin does not feel ‘clogged’ up as other powders seem to make my skin feel.

We want to assure you that all items are carefully selected and undergo strict quality control before dispatch. It is gossamer light and even though my skin has aged a little now and I have a few more wrinkles this powder never clogs or makes my skin look pasty or floury. If you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot – intend to have more posts up during the week. Baking the undereyes with this is easy, I take the powder puff it comes with, fold it in half, dip it into a pile of the loose powder, then dab it along my undereyes and the highpoints of my cheekbones, under my cheek contour, and a bit on the Cupid's bow and center of my chin.

I mention the amount as I've seen it listed a 65grams but it isn't unless they're weighing the packaging too! The packaging is okay as the lid does not twist so it could open when you are travelling or if you throw it in your purse. 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. As a young girl the first time I saw this Coty Airspun iconic round powder makeup case, (illustrated cotton ball puffs) was in my mom’s makeup bag. The powder is translucent so sheer your own skin colour shows through and yet it gives an even matte appearance which is very flattering.
