Catrice Mineral Compact Powder - Review

By
I think, many of you might not be much aware of Catrice brand. It is basically a European cosmetics brand. The brand has the following motto:             


"Catrice - Beauty and Luxury, at the best price ever!                                                                              
For all women who enjoy using make-up and at the same time demand attractive packaging, classic design and quality, Catrice offers a range of 'go anywhere' make-up products that won't break the bank. Luxurious and distinctively modern products for the woman of today. (as taken from the website www.catrice.eu - also available in English)"                                                       


During my visit to Germany, I found plenty of this brand's products in popular malls like Muller, Galleria etc. I thought of giving one product a try and see how it fares.Depending upon its quality and price range I decided to buy some other products of this brand as well. After using them for 2 months now, I can surely agree to what the brand's motto says - "Quality without breaking your bank :P!"


So, here I review the first product I bought of this range: Catrice Mineral Compace powder. 
What the brand has to say about the product:


"This microfine compact powder with valuable mineral complexes smooths the skin and lends it a silk-matt finish. No preservatives. Fragrance free. Dermatologically tested."

  • Almond Beige

Catrice Mineral Compact Powder - Warm Beige


I chose the warm beige  shade, after trying various samples at the counter. Thankfully, the shade complimented my skin quite well. Below is my verdict on the product:

Pros:
  • The product comes in nice and handy packaging, with flip open lid.
  • It perfectly blended with my foundation. I tried using it directly over my skin and the results were quite great.
  • I was particularly astonished by its staying power. I usually apply it at morning after reaching office and my face remains smooth and oil-free till post lunch; which means a span of around 6-7 hours, which is quite amazing :-O
  • It didn't break me out! :-)
  • It is quite affordable. Somewhere around 4-5 Euros only!! \:d/ :D
  • The quantity is quite good i.e. 9.5 grams
Cons
  • It gives light coverage, which is perfect for me while going to office. 
  • It doesn't provide any sponge or brush to apply, so you have to get your own. :-(
  • Only available at certain selected European countries. Till date, they haven't provided any facility to sell their products online.

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

By
Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away. The second thing I bought sometime back was this Neutrogena Moistureshine LipGloss , which apparently happens to be my first tinted lipgloss too, as before this I was used to only lipsticks or lip balms.It took me a while to get used to the concept of glosses. I bought the shade 04 Glimmer: Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss Like usual glosses, it comes
