Flash Review: Shiseido Medicated Baby Powder

Description:  Refreshes skin and absorbs oil for a shine-free complexion; formulated with mild ingredients that are gentle on all skin types, even baby skin; treats rashes, allergies, and other blemishes; won’t cause breakouts; comes in pressed powder form with original fluffy puff that reduces any wastage

Packaging -It comes in a quite bulky twist-off aqua colored plastic container. Coverage – Zero coverage and doesn’t leave a white cast Texture – Not the silkiest I’ve felt, it’s a little bit grainy. Scent – A faint mint scent that’s quite pleasant. Longevity – Quite nice, it kept my face matte for 3 hours despite the humid and hot weather in Lipa during the day I gave it a road-test

PROS – I love how it managed to control my oilies and sweat. It also kept my foundation looking good and intact for the day. It doesn’t leave a white cast nor does it aggrevate pimples. It felt light as air on the skin, very comfortable!

CONS – The bulky packaging. It takes up a lot of space in the bag. Well of course, it has a whopping 50g of product. I feel like this powder is emphasizing my clogged pores when used as setting powder for makeup

Final Thoughts – It’s one of the better setting powders I’ve tried. You can also use it alone if you’re the “pulbo-cheektint” kinda gal because it sort of blurs the pores on your face while keeping it matte. Just the way you like it right?
