I love translucent powders and always keep looking for cheaper alternatives to my favorites which are by Mac and Makeup Forever. So I thought 'why not try the Elf one?!' - couldn't possibly get cheaper than that, right?! I think it's $3 in the US, I ordered mine off the Swiss website so it was a tad bit more but still much cheaper than most that are available at the drugstore.
I did not really like the packaging to begin with since it was super bulky and I once made the mistake of not holding on to the clear insert that holds back the powder and so it came off and I had a bit of a powdery mess. So a few points deducted for that.
The powder itself is not great either. It does its job fairly okay but it is so not finely milled meaning that when you put the brush in it you have to tap off a lot to make it look somewhat natural. Now, using loose products already isn't a quick process since you have to be rather careful with it and if you also have to be careful not to use the larger bits of powder then that's just too much work for me. Especially since it still looks somewhat powdery afterwards.
So, I'm gonna say that I do not recommend the powder for the reasons stated above and am therefore only giving it 1/10 points since it can still work but not well.
Anybody have any recommendations for good cheap powders? loose or pressed?
Have a nice weekend everyone!
