SOAP AND GLORY ONE HECK OF A BLOT

I love trying out new powder and I haven't found one I really love since the MAC Mineralise skin finish. I want to find a drugstore powder that I love and can therefore re purchase when needed. I went into Boots and decided to try the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot Pressed Powder. I have tried their Kick Ass Concealer before and absolutely loved it so I thought I would give their powder a go and see what I thought of it. Although Soap and Glory are a drug store
brand, the product is still quite experience for £12 as a lot of other drug store powders you can get for under £10. I use this product as part of my everyday makeup routine to set my foundation and concealer. I was quite disappointed that I am already running out after only having it a short while. I would have hoped it would of lasted longer considering the price and I don't use a lot of it each time. This powder is translucent and is quite light in the
packaging but isn't when applied. It claims to offer "class shine control and oil-absorption". I do agree to this to some extent - it is very mattifying which I love and it does help my makeup stay on all day. However, it doesn't really impress my more than any other drug store powders and so I'm not sure whether I would re purchase it again for £12. I don't notice anything dramatic when it comes to shine control. It is a nice powder although I think you can get a cheaper alternative that does the job just as well. Have you tried it? What do you think?
