Product review: In2it Oil control foundation powder

 

   Another delayed review..

   The first time I found out about this product was at projectvanity’s blog. Everyone, well everyone meaning those oily faced people like me, has been raving about this product. Well, now that I have my own product to test, I was excited for day 1 testing with this foundation.

  

    I forgot how much the actual price is, but this one is around P600+.

   On to the product…

      Product says: In2It oil control & oil free,  2 way foundation is an advanced formulation for sebum and shine control:

• SoSoft powder processing system for an ultra soft powder foundation
• 2 way application; apply the foundation using a dry sponge for natural and moderate coverage. Apply foundation using wet sponge for extra coverage.

  What Kitten says..

       This was just O-kay, it says all day wear, but this only lasted me for 3 hours MAX. So much for long wear. Though, once you apply it, I like the sheer coverage it gave me. But rather a little disappointed with day long wear promise. The SA was nice enough to accommodate me with the right shade to choose, and I also read in some reviews that the foundation turns pink on them. Personally, I’m glad I didn’t turn pink. Based on the picture, I got the warm beige shade which I think suits me well. Pretty good actually.

     It may be just the lighting, but this is how my face looked like after more than 5 hours using the foundation.

In conclusion..

PROS:

•  3 hour sheer coverage
• very nice packaging, looks and feel sturdy – LOVE the pink color

CONS:

• For the price, I find it too expensive- I’m just glad that the packaging is great.
• It doesn’t last all day and I hate having to re apply powder even if I blotted my face already. It feels like gunk.

 

   I still want to experiment with this product. Though, I didn’t like the texture when it was wet. I prefer it dry. Eventually, the powder melts in my face leaving me a bare. Next time, I’ll buy the skin hour mattifying day  cream and see if the powder will stay longer.

   I really hope there is a good foundation product out there that can last even at least half a day, I would be happy.

 

My verdict: 3/5 kikay points

 

Till then!
