Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Fresh Powder Makeup Loose Powder [Girly Review]

Phew...isn't the title a mouthful :D I just run out of loose powder last week so i was thinking whether or not to buy my favourite loose powder on the market (the clinique derma white brightening loose powder) or to look for another loose powder to try out...

After searching for reviews on the net, i came across the Dior Diorskin loose powder from their Nude range. It seems to have received good reviews and i was actually "misleaded" by a blogger on the net :( Not misleaded as in the product has disappointed me though but misleaded as to the content of the product. The reviewer mentioned that it was 50ml for the price of RM140! I was thinking to myself wow! that must be a bargain since my current clinique loose powder is "only"  20g (equiv to 20ml)!

So i went to the Dior counter and i confidently told the consultants (who is a guy! *gasp*) that i wanted to be matched for a shade for this loose powder. It was then i found out that it's actually RM152 but i still proceeded with my purchase (btw, i bought it on Jusco's member day and i got a RM20 voucher! that's as good as buying the loose powder at RM132! woots! :D)

When i brought it back, i realized that it's only 8g!! Thats more than half less of what i get in my clinique loose powder at RM20 more! (the clinique loose powder is RM135) :((( Nevertheless, i kept my finger crossed and hoped that it would be a wise purchase.

I was matched with shade 020 which was the 2nd lightest shade of what they have since i wanted it to look natural on my skin instead of looking like i'm wearing a mask

That's how the shade looks like from the casing

And it even came with a little mini flat top brush!

This tiny brush was surprisingly good. It is around the same size as my everydayminerals baby kabuki brush and the bristles are comparatively soft but it sheds a little and is a little rougher than the everydayminerals one :)

Ok seeing is believing so i'm posting up my face on my blog for the very first time! Well, at least its "part" of my face :D

My naked skin without anything applied on the left and with the loose powder applied on the right. You can see my pores are not that obvious and it manages to conceal my spots a little bit too and redness is reduced :) 

The after-effects is a slightly airbrushed look which made my face looks made up but not really made up..i hope you know what i mean..hahaha. The main ingredient that Dior is boasting about on the box is something called "energizing mineralized water". I don't know what it is but i do feel a burst of coolness on my face when i apply it. Here's the description on the box :

DIORSKIN NUDE, the new face makeup that dazzles with freshness. The formulas contain a unique blend of 100% mineral pigments and energizing mineralized water to instantly recreate the perfection of flawless bare skin. Day after day, your skin looks more beautiful and radiant. Natural Glow Fresh Powder Makeup, the first Dior loose powder makeup that provides a "water" sensation. Apply with a makeup brush.

So based on my description i guess it did deliver what it was supposed to do.

And since i've been loving my clinique loose powder for so many years now, i think i ought to give it some "airtime" on my blog..lol

It's so used even the printing on the case is faded..lol! This lasted me for almost 6 months! 

If you were to ask me to compare between the 2, i'd say the clinique one does not have any concealing powder whatsoever but it is very lightweight. Whereas the dior loose powder does provide some amount of concealing and some amount of liquid foundation effects but because of that, i always feel i have to double cleanse after i use it. On some lazy days when it's just a quick trip out to have dinner, i feel it's a hassle to double cleanse after that. But of course, it's great to give you a made up more polished look when you are lazy to get out your liquid foundation :) I recently discovered that if i were to use a fluffy powder brush instead of the flat top brush, i get a more sheer coverage. 

- provides reasonable coverage for a loose powder

- provides exactly what it claims to give 

- good to create a "nude makeup" look

- convenient and fast to apply on days when you don't have time for foundation

- can be considered expensive for the amount

- need to double cleanse/use makeup remover on lazy days (only applicable for lazy people like me 'x')
