Collection Sheer Loose Powder Review

Collection Sheer Loose Powder Review

Went out and found this beauty at Superdrug for £2.99! Onto describing the product...

This is my first ever loose powder that I have bought with my own money, however I have used some before. When I took the lid of this, I'm going to be honest, I was confused. There was a protective lid over the holes that the product comes out of, and I had no clue how to get it off. It was a similar colour to where the holes were, so I couldn't see where the protective seal ended or started. It took me about 5 minutes to finally get it off - with a struggle. I then put the lid on again, shook it gently, and swooped up the colour with my Primark powder brush (review coming soon). I did want to get the transparent colour from this, as I wasn't certain that with two colours it would match my skin tone, but because it was sheer, I was fine. I put this over my BB cream using circular motions, concentrating on my T-Zone. My face looked really matte after using this, and I was really impressed by it. It stayed on my face all day, even at school! If there was one issue with it, that would be the awkwardness of carrying it around, but that's the same for all loose powders.

So my final verdict: Incredible loose powder, just a little bit hectic to open (then again that's probably just me...). Amazing deal for the price!

Foaming Face Wash Comparison

Foaming Face Wash

Simple Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser vs. Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash

The simple face wash comes in a nice, professional looking packaging. There is no particular smell to this, it just smells like a normal soap. It comes out as a white foam, and applies well to the face. It does a good job, and if you needed to, would even take off makeup (obviously not eye makeup). It left my face feeling very clean, and strangely 'matte'. I'm not sure why, but I liked how it felt.

The Boots face wash came in a clear bottle, very sterile looking, simple but effective. The smell of this was a lot stronger and smelt clean and refreshing. It comes out as a white foam again and applies just like the simple one. Again, it does a good job, removing any impurities from my skin. I rarely got massive breakouts with both of these, and yes, you could remove makeup with it. It felt matte again when I'd finished and I felt squeaky clean.

Winner: This was a really tough call, but I think the Boots one wins just from the smell. I'm not generally fussed about smells, but this one smells gorgeous and refreshing.
