Carmen Claire Shine Patrol Pressed Powder

Hi guys.... 

I've got another pressed powder review --- Carmen Claire Shine Patrol Pressed Powder in Medium Light. It is made in the U.S., Talc and Paraben free and that no animals were harmed in making this powder. Regular price is at P415.00 per 11.3g product. I adore the product when it arrived inside an elegant gold organza pouch...

What Carmen Claire says about the product:

Keep oil at bay and shine in check.
The ultra-smooth formula absorbs excess oil without looking cakey or flat, while adding just a touch of sheer color. It's talc and paraben free too, so chances of a breakout are minimal. Phew!

The powder is in a black round case with mirror and black sponge applicator. This is my first time to have a black sponge applicator :D

I got the Medium Light shade - a natural beige shade

Other shades available are: Porcelain, Medium and Tan

Swatch... 

What I like about the product: 

- Quality of powder is smooth and fine 
- Coverage of powder is sheer to medium so doesn't give you a white cast
- Controls oil and shine in my face 
- Staying power is 4-6 hours
- Made of natural ingredients 
- Talc and paraben free
- With mirror and applicator
- Price is budget friendly (you get 11.3g of products that would probably last till 5 months) 
- Cruelty-free 

What I don't like about the product: 
- It doesn't have SPF content

- A hard surface on the powder appeared and stayed on top of it permanently I guess, unless the powder is broken :P

Will I repurchase?

Maybe...
