There are two shades available in this…Warm pink (for wheatish to dusky skin tones) and Soft Pink (for fair skin tones). I got the Soft Pink one as I thought Warm would be a little yellow for me. Though it comes out almost normal on skin…like no much of a color seen. It has 5 holes on top for the powder to come out and an outer covering too.

Pros:

1. One of the nicest loose powder on a budget.
2. Absorbs oil and keeps skin matte for a decent time.
3. Very economical…you get quite a lot of quantity at 80 and it lasts a long long time.
4. Has a nice soft fragrance.
5. Helps set your make up in place.
6. Works for both people with dry and oily skin.
7. The shelf life is 2 years.

Cons:

1. This would not give any coverage if you expecting.
2. The box is not small to carry it along or while travelling.
3. It says it has SPF but not mentioned how much.
4. The powder wont come out easily from the holes and you need to tap it quite a few times.
5. The puff along with it is of no use..would give a build up and heavy look. I use a kabuki brush.
6. Has parabens.
