I am in the search for a new press powder since I already hit the pan of my MAC Studio Fix compact and its close to finish. I strolled around the Watson's section on SM Megamall thinking that I might find something and I did! I stopped by the Maybelline counter and saw Red Flags showing 10-20% discount in selected items and my heart just started rattling, however, the press and compact powders were not on sale so I was disappointed. I just realize how much I loved the Maybelline's Clear Smooth Shine Free Face Powder before so I thought of getting myself one of those again.
But something else caught my eyes! A small face compact that will be perfect for a small make-up kit I bring everyday! It's the Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One Shine Free Cake Powder Refill!
Price: Php 159.00
Store: Watsons Section SM Department Store in Megamall
I also saw the compact version of this but I decided to get the refill instead since I am reluctant with their tag line "Shine Free". I have a very oily skin and it's been a challenge for me to keep my face less oily through-out the day.
The plastic container is small and can fit on your pocket. I got the shade in Honey and this small compact also comes with its own sponge applicator so can apply this try or wet! There is also a plastic tray (sort of) that will help keep your sponge away from the powder specially if the sponge is damp.
