Essence All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder

Moram da priznam da mi nedostaje pisanje postova, Previše posla imam u poslednje vreme i samo jurim. Sada sam konačno ulovila malo vremena i odmah uzimam da pišem o proizvodu koji je svaki dan uz mene. U poslednje vreme jako retko nanosim tečni puder, ali i pored toga uvek matiram lice nečim, da bih odložila prosijavanje. Trenutno u tu svrhu najčešće koristim jako hvaljen Essence kompaktni puder za matiranje.

I have to admit that I miss writing blog posts, I just have too much to do lately and I'm just too busy. Now I finally found a little time and I immediately started writing about a product that's with me every day. Lately I rarely apply any foundation, but nevertheless I still mattify my face with something, so I postpone it looking oily. For this purpose I usually use highly praised Essence All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder. 

Dugo je u Srbiji bila dostupna samo verzija u prahu, koju sam izbegavala da kupim. Na kraju sam ovaj kompaktni puder dobila od Taye malo pre nego što su se kompaktni puderi pojavili i kod nas. Puder dolazi u plastičnom pakovanju srednje čvrstine. Sadrži 8g i bele je boje. Na koži se generalno ne vidi da je beo, niti koža izgleda brašnjavo. Naravno ako baš mnogo stavite izgledaćete pomalo belo. Cena mu je oko 400 RSD.

For a long time there was only the loose version available in Serbia which I didn't want to buy. In the end I got this compact powder from Taya just before the compact powders appeared in our stores. Powder comes in plastic packaging of medium firmness. Contains 8g and has white colour. It is generally not visible nor white on the skin, and it doesn't look floury. Of course if you put a lot I will look a bit white. Price is about 400 RSD.

Naravno najbitnije pitanje je da li matira? Da i to dobro! Sa tečnim puderom matirana sam i po nekoliko sati duže, a ako nemam tečni puder višak masnoće skidam samo jednom ili dva puta u toku dana. Ali čak i kad pod prstima osetim da na koži imam višak sebuma lice mi se mnogo manje sjaji baš zbog ovog pudera. Evo pokušaja da vidite kako se zabeli na koži ako se baš dosta nanese.

Of course the most important question is whether it mattifies? Yes and it does it well! With foundation I look matte a few hours longer, and if I don't use any liquid foundation I need to remove excess sebum only once or twice during the day. But even when I start feeling sebum under my fingers, my face is less shiny because of this powder. Here's an attempt to show you how it looks when it is applied in a thick layer.

Ako imate masnu ili mešovitu kožu, ovaj proizvod je nešto što bi trebalo da probate, s obzirom da soldno matira i naravno jako je jeftin.

Šta mi se svidelo:

- cena,

- dostupnost,

- dobro matira,

- nije brašnjav.

Šta mi se ne sviđa:

- volea bih da je pakovanje malo čvršće.
