[TONYMOLY] BABY DOLL BB POWDER *Light Beige*

When it comes to face powder I'm not a big fan of loose powders. I always prefered compact powders because of their better coverage. Some time ago [TONYMOLY] released a BABY DOLL BB POWDER which is quite in demand. I wanted to try it out as well and ordered #1 Light Beige. It's also available as #2 Natural Beige for darker skin types.

Other products in this range are the BABY DOLL BB MAKEUP BASES in #1 GREEN or #2 VIOLET.

Description: Powdery type blemish balm which controls greasy skin. Less dusty than the already-existing "soft touch" - and because the product closely adheres to skin, the base makeup lasts long. Unlike the already-existing "soft touch", this BB powder absorbs greasy sebum to make the skin look moisturized and fair. Jojoba oil helps to replenish moisture, and macadamia nut oil guards the skin to keep the skin fully protected.

The BB POWDER is housed in a translucent jar with a pinkish twist-off lid. The jar contains 15g and includes a super soft powder puff.

Underneath the sponge/ puff is something like a 'sieve', so you won't get too much of the powder at ones.

When you remove the plastic cover (sieve) you can see the whole product.

The fine powder is very soft and strong perfumed. #1 Light Beige is a bright shade and I find it a little bit yellowish but looks still ok.

It has just a very slight coverage - it's rather a translucent face powder. 

The description says the BABY DOLL BB POWDER is a powder type blemish balm and you apply it after a make-up base. I personally apply it after a BB Cream coz I need a better coverage.

The BB POWDER is a nice product for ppl with flawless skin who doesn't need to cover up many skin blemishes. For others a Powder Pact might be the better choice.

The oil control is just so-so for me. My skin starts to get oily after a few hours again.

Nevertheless, I like the soft & matte finish and will use the powder on those days when my skin needs less coverage!

How to use: Apply to the face after base make-up with sponge.

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16

What I love:   
The soft feeling and matte finish! 

What I don’t like: 

The coverage isn't strong. Better for ppl with flawless skin. 

Will I buy this again? I don't think so! Still prefer Powder Pacts.

[innisfree] NO-SEBUM Mineral Powder

[innisfree] is one of those brands I almost never buy probably because their packagings aren't as cute as from some other Korean brands (and I like cute stuff). 

They remind me a bit of [SKINFOOD] and [THE BODY SHOP] because they also use only environment-friendly botanical nutrients and essence extracted from organic plants and herbs that aid in healing various skin problems. As you know I'm always complaining about products and their oil control but I found this one product from [innisfree] which helps me reducing the shine a lot: NO-SEBUM Mineral Powder.

It is free of Paraben, Artificial Fragrance, Animal Ingredients, Artificial Colors, Mineral Oil and Talc.

You also can get it as Powder Pact and Primer!

Description: It is a sebum powder essence that absorbs dead skin cells and sebum with vegetable powder from natural origin. Also provides silky smooth textures and protects the skin.

The loose powder comes in a small round plastic container which is mint green and contains 5g. My one is from 2011 and looks different from the older version - they changed the packaging design.

The powder contains Jeju natural mineral and natural originated mint!

A super soft powder puff is included, too. 

Inside the container is a plastic lid with some holes (like a sieve). Under that lid is the loose powder. You have to shake it a bit to get the powder on the sponge.

The powder itself is white, therefore make sure that you spread it over your face well or you might look like a ghost. It is also slightly scented! It smells like herbs and mint but you just smell it when you hold it close to your nose.

I use this Mineral Powder as the last step of my make-up routine and I can say that my skin looks less shiny than without. I tried it out the last two (2) days for always 9 hours and my skin looked better but, of course, it didn't make my skin 100% oil/ shine free. My face felt very smooth right after applying, too! I liked that!!

Price: around 9,50,- €/ US$12.50

What I love:    

My face looks less oily than without the powder + it made my skin soft.

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I dislike yet.  

Will I buy this again? Probably or try out the other ones (Powder Pact, Primer).
