I'm back with another review of one of Maybelline's new face products which is the Maybelline White SuperFresh Powder. You may be wondering as well why I just bought the refill product. Reason being is I want to try the product first before I actually purchase the compact ones. For years now, I have been using the Maybelline Two-way Cake Foundation which I find very effective and affordable. In fact, I have gone through many refills already. I think Maybelline is really stepping up on its game when it comes to face products especially their foundations and compact products.
So here is how the product looks like. Like mentioned earlier, I just bought the refill ones to test on it first:
This refill's original price is actually Php199.00 but since they have a Php30.00 off, i was able to purchase it for only Php169.00 only. I like how the refill packaging looks like. It is also white just like the compact itself. The refill also comes with a clean sponge which is a good thing. Ones you open the product, there is a plastic separator, separating the sponge from the powder to make sure the sponge will maintain to be clean and not smudge or ruin the product itself. I got the shade in 03-Natural
Its Claims:
- 12-Hr Fresh: Fair and Matte
- It has Clean Touch Technology
- Enriched with Mineral Perlite for maximmum oil absorption
- Has SPF 34
- Results: Fresh and Radiant look, Flawless, even finish, Clear Matte texture, Doesn't clog pores
Ingredients:
Talc, Perlite, Titanium Dioxide, Zea Mays Starch/ Corn Starch, Kaolin, Triisostearin, Ethylhexyl, Methoxycinnamate, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Magnesium Stearate, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone, Silsesquioxane CrossPolymer, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, EthylHexylGlycerin, Tocopherol, Parfum/ Fragance Linalool.
It is also available in 4 shades:
02- Nude
03- Natural
04- Honey
05- Sand Beige (darkest shade)
(I got the one on 03- Natural which is the 2nd to the lightest shade and I must say that this shade fits me perfectly :D)
Okay, so this is the swatch of the product:
Based on the swatch, I can say that it has a almost opaque coverage and it's matte which is a plus for me. I do have combination skin wherein I have just enough moisturized face but my T-Zone is tends to be oily.
Okay, so yesterday, I finally decided to test the product. It has been sitting on my makeup drawer for a few days now untouched still in its plastic packaging. So yesterday, when I went to mass in the morning, I decided to test this out. I didn't put anything else on my clean face except for my Celeteque Moisturizer which I put on my whole face except for my T-Zone area to avoid getting it oilier. And besides, like I said, I tend to be very oily in my T-Zone area so I don't think putting moisturizer on that area will be advisable.
So anyway, I wanted to test if its claims are really true and if this product will be effective for me. So when I went to mass yesterday morning (the mass was at 9:30am MNL time), I decided to use it. So I used it as is, no foundation or BB creams applied, just the powder itself, my Aido lipstick in Number 12, my Nichido Liquid Eyeliner, and my Nichido Eyebrow Pencil in the shade Taupe:
Since I was early to church, I decided to take a selfie. I apologize for the not so good looking selfie as I wanted to be discreet in taking this picture. LOL. This picture was taken at 09:18am MNL time, just before mass started.
So there, I took another selfie when I got home which was about 1.5 hours later since we passed by several places first before going home to buy something for lunch. Note that I have walked under the heat of the sun going from one place to another, and this is how my face looked like:
So yeah, I was really impressed with the fact that my face is still matte and that my T-Zone wasn't oily yet. And of course, I was happy with the results! But of course, I still wanted to test the longevity of the product, so after 3 more hours, I decided to take another selfie to to show you how matte my face was and how happy I was that my face especially my T-Zone wasn't oily at all. :)
So there, my T-Zone wasn't that oily still after 3 hours and that my face still looked matte and fresh. :) So yeah, I am so happy with this product. :)
What I like:
- It is affordable, the compact itself costs only Php249.00 (originally Php299.00) only since they have a Php 50.00 off on it, and the refill (which was the one I purchased) only costs Php169.00 (originally Php199.00) since they have the Php30.00 off on it.
- It has a refill. Once you've purchased the compact, and you've run out of the product, instead of buying a new compact for it, you can just purchase the refill which will save you a lot and at least you can still use the same compact you have.
-It has a manufacturing date. At least you will be assured that the product you have purchased is not old stock.
- Accesible: Available in malls and department stores nationwide in all Maybelline Counters. (SM Department Stores- beauty section, Watsons, Metro Department Stores- beauty section and in Robinsons Department Stores as well. Also available in Maybelline counters in grocery stores. :) )
- Once you open the product, I like the fact that there is a plastic separator between the powder and the sponge making sure that the sponge won't get stained with the product while still on the counters.
- It has a sponge included. Though I know that all Maybelline powder refills include a sponge, not all local powders and local powder/ foundation powder refills have free sponges included once you buy them.
- It has many shades. Here in the Philippines, though most Filipinas are morenas, we still have different skin complexions, so I think that having a variety of shades available is very good.
REPURCHASE: YES!!
In fact, I'm planning to buy the compact itself next time I go to the mall. :)
So that's it for now. I hope this post will be able to give you more information especially if you're considering buying this product. Please note though that we have different skin types so the result it may have for me may not have the same results to others.
Please stay tuned for my future posts as I am planning something exciting for it! :) Hope you can follow my blog here as well in Blogspot to be updated for my future posts. :) You can also follow me on Instagram: Yhang_Chua since I keep my IG account updated especially for new posts. :)
