    I took one lippie off for the price. This stuff is insanely expensive in Canada, over $50 with taxes. Luckily I got this off ebay for much less. Anyways... I love this powder. It comes in a huge...

    A great setting powder, gives a nice soft focus to my complexion. Not so good for oil control though. I find that it sets my Kanebo powder foundation better than my liquid or semiliquid foundations.

    I love this power: I am so impressed that this, over whatever foundation I wear, sets it beautifully and looks so smooth. This is so great, almost didn't buy it: even over just the tinted...

    Great loose powder and very light texture. Good facial oil control for my skin but may have to think again for those with oily skin type. It will be a lot better if the puff is provided in the...

    I wish they would include the powder puff the LM reps use at the counter. I like this because I don't get a ghostly look from it when applied and I don't feel it on...I still have to blot after a...

    This is one of my favorite powders. It is easy to apply and looks great on top of just about any foundation. I use it both with the Oil free foundation and the Tinted Moisturizer. Very happy. ...

    Way, way, WAY too matte. Looks very unnatural, and almost chalky on my skin. It does look better when applied with a brush as opposed to the Laura powder puff that they want you to apply it with,...

    Ooookay. I got this powder, finally, after reading all the great reviews. I have been using Lancome Photogenic loose powder in Translucent. Comparing it to that powder, LM's is extremely sheer. ...

    Much much better than its pressed powder sister in regards to shine control. Like the SA says, I tip over the container over the puff, fold puff in half, then buff. I do not have to touch up until...

    I like this powder. It's not like OMG, WOW, but it's good. It's very natural and silky.. I use it with a puff which makes it stay longer than with a brush. I bought the smaller bottle, because I...
