WHAT I LIKE:
* the packaging
* the sponge is soft; but I sometimes use my baby buki
* controls oil for about 4 hrs ( use it on my T-zone only) ; my cheeks are dry
* it goes translucent (i use LIGHT, at first i thought its too white for me)
* unscented (i hate products with parfums or strong scents)
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* expensive for an oil control powder
RATING :
3 out of 5.
ADDICTION FACTOR:
If you don't have super oily skin like me or you find it too expensive, there are cheaper alternatives.
* Pigeon Compact powder - Click here to read Angie's review.
There are 2 kinds of Pigeon powder available in the market. The Mirrorless compact is made in Japan and the other one from Indonesia. The former comes only in white shade and is medicated to prevent pimples and it has collagen and silicon oil to protect babies' sensitive skin too!
The latter comes in 4 shades, white, pink, beige and brown and comes in a oval- square-ish white compact with mirror.
Retails for Php 200+
* Shiseido Medicated powder - its also comes in white shade. Its not available in Shiseido counters but you can check Somera stores and E-bay.
Retails for Php 300+

I have the MAC blot powder and I its a nice blotting powder to have but you're right about the price.
I've seen the Shiseido one but haven't tried it yet!
hi khymm :)
when i first purchased my blot powder, i was suppose to get the "light" shade. but i chose the "medium" to get at least a little bit of color...
nice post :)
Awww, that seems so cool !!But you didn't rate it so well !! Maybe you can find a better one for cheaper.. ^ ^ I don't get why they need shades for different colors of skin though if it doesn't add any color?? Hm..
I am a fan of MAC Blot. I use Medium Dark though I think I should use Medium. It really delivers. I use it on my T-zone too. I've had mine from May and it's still half full. :)
Hi Sis! Na intriga ko sa Shiseido baby powder... na try na nimo? Is it any good?
