Opinion: I actually really like this product very much. Although its not my current shade, I can still work with it. How I use it is I dust it lightly onto my face to set my foundation. It doesn't cake up as long as you don't pack it on. Sometimes, I use this alone. It has a great coverage but it could look cakey. I also don't like the smell. It kind of smell like old powder. The packaging is beautiful. I really love the color of the bottom of the compact. The only thing I don't like about it is how big it is. It's not really travel friendly. I think they could have made the compact thinner. Other than that, this powder gives a beautiful satin finish. It doesn't make me look flat at all. I really love how it provides SPF.

Overall, it's an OK powder. There's nothing really special about it. But, with my sensitive skin, it's great to find powders that won't break me out and this is one of them. If I ran out of this, I probably wouldn't repurchase it. It's good but not the best. I would, however, recommend this to people with sensitive skin like me. Especially those who are sensitive to sunlight.

Grades:
-Pigmentation: 5/5
Great coverage.
-Texture: 4/5
 Smooth, satin finish but can be cakey if applied heavily.
-Longevity: 4/5
It last for about 3 hours when worn alone.
-Price: 3/5
I think it's too expensive for a drugstore powder.

OVERALL: 4/5
I'm not too crazy about this one but not a bad product at all.
