Catrice Mineral Compact Powder

Catrice Mineral Compact Powder - Review

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."

Shades Available:

Light Beige,
Pastell Beige
Warm Beige
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

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

Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts - Review

Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts The best way to spend four hours of waiting period in Dubai transit is to do shopping. In all the shopping I did there, I bought this particular lotion as well. The main reasons behind buying this lotion were: 1) I wanted to try Olay as a brand as I’d heard a lot of good stories about it. 2) I wanted a light moisturizing face lotion that has SPF, UVA/UVB protection and could be worn easily below my foundation for day wear. Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts Price: $10 Quantity: 30 ml What does Olay say about its Natural White lotion ?

Syoss Professional Performance Repair Therapy Shampoo - Review

Syoss Professional Performance Repair Therapy Shampoo During my visits to Germany, I spend a lot of time watching TV commercials, because of the only reason that I can somehow understand bits and pieces of them. I wasn't intending to buy any huge bottles, during my last trip, but I was so much intrigued by Syoss's continuous ads on the television, that I decided to give it a shot.
