There were a lot of raves about this loose powder in makeupalley so I went ahead and bought one for myself. It was priced @ P330 at Somera in Glorietta. I think it’s an okay price since the net weight is 65 grams which is a lot. First, I have to say I like the packaging it has that vintage vibe going on and I think this product has been around since our grandmas were young because the scent reminded me of one of my grandmothers. I shared this with my mom since I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to finish this on my own. I placed 1 tbsp. on a sifter jar so I can have easy access because getting the powder from it’s original packaging is quite messy. The texture of the powder is finely milled, I like to use it as a finishing powder after I’ve put on the rest of my make up. I tried to use this alone it didn’t help much with the oiliness of my face but I wasn’t really expecting it to. I didn’t break out from this so that alone is good enough for me. Translucent shade is a bit light for me but since I’m acidic it darkens a bit in a few minutes also I can’t use this on the summer when my skin gets a bit darker especially after going to the beach. I won’t be repurchasing any time soon or never or maybe if I might see a shade that fits my skin tone.


 

Celeteque Oil Control Toner December 11, 2008

The only thing that made me want to try this was the witch hazel in the list of ingredients. Was it effective as an oil control toner? To me, NO. It didn’t help at all to control my oiliness and I didn’t notice anything remarkable to make me feel it did anything actually good for my skin. My skin type is acne-prone and oily, so I was really hoping that this would help somehow. This cost me like P100+ which is a lot more expensive than most toners I have tried. Obviously I never repurchased but I had a good use for the plastic bottle which now contains my home made brush cleanser.(^_^)
