i bought this when esqa was having a sale. i thought i'll finish my essence powder quickly, but turned out i was wrong. it took quite awhile to finish the essence one. anyway, it's been quite some time since i used a loose powder, mainly because it's not that practical for traveling. but since i'm not going anywhere, trying one won't hurt anyone. let's see how this goes.
this is the description from their website: lightweight and easy to apply, our flawless micro setting powder will instantly blur your pores and fine lines perfectly! this is the perfect powder to set your makeup in place without looking cakey. you can easily use it to bake and highlight your under eye. our micro-fine powder will blend effortlessly into your skin creating a smooth and natural radiant effect, perfecting your look with a long lasting flawless complexion.

the packaging: it comes in a white box with gold stripe, there's no description on the box and there's ingredients list on the box but it's covered by the added sticker. the powder itself comes in a white plastic tub with gold screw cap. shade name is written on sticker label on the bottom part. there's a plastic separator inside so the puff is separated from the lower part. the lower part has mesh covered hole where the loose powder comes out from. i guess it's secure enough to bring it with you, but once you open the separator, it might be messy and powder will fly everywhere. i like how the plastic separator has a small part to help you lift it up so it's easier to lift the separator. there's no information on the box nor the pact about the weight of the product, but i read somewhere that the weight is 12 g.

the color: there are 4 shades available (one of them is translucent). mine is vanilla which is the lightest one. i think it falls on the cool shade. since it's not super pigmented, the shade is okay for me. i guess it might not cater all skin tones since there are only few shades.

the product: the pact has mirror on the inside of the lid and there's puff to apply the powder. the powder itself is a finely milled loose powder. you can use the puff or with brush, depend on your need, but i mostly use a brush to apply it.

the result: for more coverage, i think puff is better. but if you want more natural result, then you can use brush. but it's harder to get even coverage using a brush. the oil control is okay, but i don't use makeup as long as i used to and i'm indoor mostly, so it might give different result on different condition. it does look flawless, but it might cling onto dry area.
if you prefer loose powder, then this might be a good option, as long as you have your shade. as for me, i think i won't go through the trouble with powder anymore. i'll just stick to compact powder from now on. the powder flies everywhere and the tub is quite bulky so it takes quite a lot of space in my vanity, so once i'm done with this one, i'll try their compact powder for next time.
