Product Review: Matte powder

WUDDUP my lil chick-a-dees? 

I've been DYING to do a review on my new HG powder but I wanted to wait it out to make absolute sure that it's something I should share, don't want any surprise break outs now do we? I'm addicted to this stuff like a crack whore on coke!!!! I present to you..

Quick Blurb:
I can't rave enough about MUFE's Super Loose Matte powder.. but let's face it.. at $24 for a 0.35 oz sifter, it's enough to burn a crater through your wallet, save the hole for some lipgloss ladies. 



COST:
ONLY $8 for 0.34 oz!!!! That's not just HALF the price for MUFE.. but A THIRD OF THE PRICE!! 

ITEM:
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
I'm using Cream right now and for reference, I use MUFE 14 Sand in the loose powder, I think I'm an NC20 now that that summer's gone, maybe NC15 even, haven't been color matched since I lost my tan. Obviously, it's a compact powder as opposed to MUFE's loose powder form. I actually prefer pressed powders because it's a lot less messier than using loose powders. No weird smells, no weird feelings. Goes on smooth as a baby powder, even more fine than that. No cakey look either.

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!! I only have to touch up maybe twice a day, but that's only because I touch my face a lot and I have a pretty oily face, despite my skin being combo. Not only does it give me the same matte look that my MUFE does, it doesn't get all over the place! (I'm a messy applier) This shit really keeps my shiny-ness at bay and it sets my TM or foundation like no other! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! HG HG HG!! 

PROS:
- CLEAN AS FUCK TO USE
- .. AT LIKE.. 8 bucks? CHEAP!
- no break outs at all!! HELL YA
- has a swivelly mirror attached, good shit good shit

CONS:
- the puff it comes with sucks my nonexisting balls
- nothing!

IN LOVE WITH THIS!! Totally in love. Yup, we're getting married. I've already decided. You're all invited to my wedding. :) I'm going to keep buying this shit until it gets discontinued. Even after that, I'll stock up. I love my MUFE but I'll only use it on special occasions cuz you know.... the big caching caching is something to consider. 

:) I hope this is useful to someone! I swear, you'll love it.

ps- Dear boyfriend, you suck.
