I know it sounds crazy but this powder not only works fabulously but smells really good. This is the second time I have ordered.

Prospoor useability
I never tried the power because I immediately returned this, The compact comes in a pouch with two pockets - one to hold the compact and one to hold a little brush to apply the powder. Mayne they thought this was a cool design but I think it is impractable and would be messy. They should have a space inside the compact for a sponge or brush inside the compact box.
I purchased 02 and it is more "peachy" than 01, from what I understand. This powder is extremely finely milled and no matter how I have applied it (have not used a sponge) it is not "powdery". I just get a beautiful finish. Yes, it does mattify and set makeup, but it does not dull the skin. Because I am oily this works beautifully, but those with drier skin will need to make sure they are moisturizing well. It comes in a little "velvet" pouch like the rest of the line, except for the foundation and lip products that I have tried. I have used it everyday for two months and can still see the signature checked pattern on the top. It is scented, but fades and I really do find it pleasant. The brush that is included is soft and thin, but can get around the nose and eyes well. It is too wide for you to place it horizontally on the palette, but I believe they did this so you place it diagonally(which fits perfectly) to recreate the check/criss cross pattern they are known for. The brush is stored in the front of the "velvet" pouch and I appreciate the sanitary nature of it. I will definitely repurchase. Worth every penny.

Lovely Powder!

Prosnatural-looking, oil absorbent, long lasting!, smells divine!, fancy looking!
I own the Burberry Foundation (Trench #.03) and the Fresh Glow sooo I decided to try the Pressed Powder. I would not call this a "Luminous Powder" but I does set your foundation pretty well. I apply this again about one o'clock just because I love the smell and it feels so fancy. The most beautiful Pressed Powder I owned. I love the brush that comes with it and the packaging is so fancy. I think this powder is going to last me for ever. I like it a lot!
