Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder

Pros: Great price, makes skin feel great!
Cons: Sponge traps dirt, just purchase cheap replacements.

I have always trusted Cover Girl, so naturally I purchases the cheapest CG powder. This powder works great for me, I am a teenager and I play basketball every day, so naturally my skin is pretty oily. I use this stuff daily after I put on my foundation and I never have breakouts or problems of any kind. This is just a good, simple powder, and I love the price! I know so many other people that love this particular pressed powder and trust the brand as much as I do.

Pros: decent product, relatively controls oil
Cons: cakes too easily, compact easily broken

I used to use Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder when I was in middle to high school, mostly because it was difficult to find a powder that went well with Asian skin. I grew out of this stuff once I realized there were other brands of powder to try, and there are definitely better ones out there. The powder cakes too easily, and I never failed to break the casing. Other than that, the product is decent enough, keeping shine at bay and blah blah blah...but why settle for average?

Pros: gives a nice "glow," controls shine, evens skin tone,
Cons: dries out skin, doesnt cover major imperfections, smell,

i have sensitive skin, and using the powder really dried me out. after putting this stuff on, my skin would get all cracked. but on those oily days this works well.

the only problem is it comes off easily (but hey, its a powder) and it CAN look dusty and cakey if you put too much on. its not meant for coverage of imperfections, (at least i dont think so) i think its meant to just control oil and even skin tone alittle bit. thats another reason why i didnt like this product, my skin needed A LOT of coverage
and this by itself doesn't cut it.

the smell isnt that pleasant either, but i get used to it. To me it smells like some sort of baby powder or something.

and be careful with the container! i dropped it and the mirror cracked, and the powder fell all over the place... and this happened during class when it fell out of my purse! it was very embarassing.

I'm not sure if this product caused breakouts. it could've been my dry skin that caused them.
