Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder in Buff Beige

Don't get me wrong here, I extremely love the summer season. Summer means beach hopping, outings, spending time with family and friends. I love the sound of the waves, the feeling of cold water and hot sand on my feet, wearing comfy tank tops and shorts and sipping my favorite ice cold fruit shake! I just wish I was at the beach right now!!  I wouldn't mind the heat if I were! But staying here in Manila without a pool or the ocean in sight is making the heat almost unbearable! Would you agree with me on this? The heat is melting me! Okay, I'm exaggerating here. But what's true is that it's melting whatever I put on my face so I prefer not wearing any make-up these days. But I guess wearing powder is acceptable once in a while just to blot the oiliness.

I have read great reviews on Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder in Buff Beige and lots of beauty gurus on Youtube recommend it. So, the curious me got one because I've been looking for a powder that's lightweight and mild enough not to irritate my skin.

Shades:

The line originally has 6 shades available, but when I bought this at the Covergirl counter in Robinson's Galleria, they only had 3 shades for this line. I guess not all shades are available here in the Philippines. I haven't checked out the other Covergirl counters though.

Powder:
It's true, it is unscented. You literally won't smell a thing! Which I think is good. :) It has a light texture, although somewhat really powdery. You have to really blend it in to avoid the chalky look and make sure you get the right shade. It's great in controlling oiliness, too. Buff Beige suits my skin tone but since I'm acidic, it turns a little bit darker after a while. And it's the lightest shade available where I got it!

Final Verdict:
Honestly, I had really high hopes for this! Everything about it is great except for one thing, it gave me rashes!!! UGH. I wore it one day and after a few hours, I already felt the itchy feeling!! Right then and there, I knew it wasn't for me. I was out and wanted to go home right away just to take it off! I was so disappointed, but oh well.

What I like:

• light- textured
• unscented
• great packaging
• controlled oilies

What I dislike:

• turned dark on me after a while
• RASHES!!!!!!!!

Price: I'm sorry I forgot the exact price, I wasn't able to keep the receipt :( But I remember I bought this for Php 400.00 +. You may try it, because a lot of products just don't work out for me (which is so unfortunate). It might work for you!

Can you please recommend a good pressed powder I could use? :D
