Shiseido Sun Protection Foundation Powder (Pressed)

 Time for another review.  This Summer, i bought a new pressed powder because i wanted something that gave me a little bit of coverage without having the heavy foundation or BB cream on my face.  This was perfect for that and it was convenient because it came with a sponge and a mirror.  It was also handy because it was SPF 35 in it which is just perfect for the Summer sun.  If you buy from Shiseido, you know that you have to put the compact case separately from the actual product.  Thus, it can become quite pricey.  I like the compact case and its separator from the product and the sponge, some just has the sponge on the product, which i don't like.  Even though this makes the packaging more bulky, its something i would rather have.  The actual powder itself cost $35 CAD i believe and the compact case is $9.  It was $44 CAD before tax, $43 to get a free gift.  So i decided to get it.  Next time, if i decide to repurchase the product, i can just get the refill. 

The powder it quite smooth on touch and its buildable coverage, but i wouldn't to pack the powder on my face because it can become quite cakey.  It is great to remove shine throughout the day as with other compacts (the extra special coming from the SPF).  Most of the time at home, i just use the ELF complexion brush to apply the product.  I actually have other brushes, but i feel for powders, that brush works very well with each other powder products i own.  Overall the product does a good job evening out my skin tone; i would definitely repurchase this product for the summer months of next year.  Otherwise, this product gave me more courage to try other Shiseido powders.
