This is a classic, go to face powder than you can throw in your bag and apply anytime you need a quick touch up. I like it for those reasons. I have oily skin, so I find I have to reapply throughout the day. However for the price and compactness, I find it a good product to have.
My fav powder! I just came back to it after trying several different brands over the past year. The minute I opened the package and got that lightly fragrant smell I remembered why I loved my Covergirl the best!! The powder covers evenly (and yes actually covers!) I have combination skin and it hides all the oily zones (forehead and nose) very very well! I have used other brands where this affect wears off in thirty minutes or so! Best coverage and price for what you are getting.
This is a limited edition collection of five different coloured eyeshadows and the one I'm reviewing is the colour "Cyber Green".
Oh, don't let the name fool you if you're purchasing this eyeshadow colour online. The colour "Cyber Green" is like a smokey black with an ever-so-slight green/gold metallic sheen running through it and some gold glitter specks. It's perfect for a smokey eye or even as an eyeliner. The packaging is gorgeous with the sleek gold and I love how it comes with a built in mirror and a sponge applicator.
I know these have sold out really fast and two of the five colours are sold out online on the Estee Lauder website. I wish the company would make it part of their permanent makeup line...but it's only a limited edition one.

i found this product while looking for something to go over my liquid foundation that would decrease the oily look on my skin. i tried this, first one, and i have to say that all the others i have used do not compare to this!
it goes on so easily, and the powder puff feels AMAZING on your skin!
and REALLY if this is second on effectiveness for you , the smell definitely makes it worth it. its almost like a pepper-minty gingerbread smell that reminds me of these Christmas scratch and sniff stickers that i had when i was little. I could smell this all day :)
Love this product!! It has perfect coverage every time I use it and never looks like I'm wearing cakey make up underneath. Blends in really well and goes on without evenly. Can't beat the price either. A definate must have for me.
Ugh I miss this power so much bahaha. I got some free Mac powder and I was SO excited, since I was used to always buying Drugstore powder, since I had always been skeptical about department store makeup (reminder, this was back when I was in high school. I'm now in 3rd university.) This power is FANTASTIC. Not only did it keep my skin from going all oily, but is it just me, or does it smell nice?! In comparison to that Mac powder I got for free (Thank god!), it's fantastic, especially for the price. The Mac makeup made my face feel all cakey about halfway through the day and believe it or not.. my skin was like ORANGE. This is funny because I'm BLACK bahaha. In all honesty though, for how much you're paying, this powder packs a punch =) Of course it's not perfect, I found I needed to touch up now and then but at least I wasn't cakey looking/oily looking/orange =)
Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any Cover Girl product. I have acne prone/oily skin and this face powder saved my face! I like that it is infused with Noxema because it helps control my acne and prevent further spread. I have a light/medium complexion and so purchased the face powder in warm beige (a guess) and it matched my skin tone perfectly! The powder goes on evenly and looks quite natural. It's compact, affordable and professional. Can't beat that combo! =)
I have pale, dry skin and this product isn't very good for it. Because my skin's so light, I have to apply a good deal of this makeup to even cover up the slightest of blemishes (I do use a base concealer before this, too) and by the time I'm done, I look incredibly fake. It piles on top of itself and is very thick, but surprisingly, it all wears off half-way through the day because it's so light-weight.
This product also amplifies the appearance of dry skin (my nose is very dry and you can often see dead skin on it - yes, gross, I know - and it builds up underneath the skin and allows everyone within a mile radius to easily see). Also, it even further dries out my skin, making everything worse, and I've even noticed it causing my face to itch at times.
