EXCELLENT QUALITY FOR THE $
This is the best inexpensive mineral like powder in the drugstore today. The quality is fantastic for the price. I got mine for about $2. I got it a month ago, and i feel like I haven't made a dent in it! There is no anoying scent, it doesn't have glitter, and the puff it comes with is actually decent. I use my own brush to apply this, because It's just a preferance thing, but I kept the puff. The...read morere is so much product in the jar, I just couldn't get over it. I love that it controls my oily t-zone throughout my work day without any touch-ups. I just can't complain about this at all.. There are no cons to this! It's so blendable and it will blow you away!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 8 people said helpful

Inexpensive Cosmetic Staple
An expensive price tag and a designer label on a cosmetic product doesn't always equal better quality. As a matter of fact, NYC proves this to me. I have Laura Mercier mineral setting loose powder which retails about $32.00 and I own this NYC loose translucent powder jar that only cost a couple of dollars. My better choice is actually is the NYC because it sets makeup with a flawless soft focus...read more finish without leaving streaks or demarcation, it's an ultra soft loose powder that feels like velvet to the touch, and it's versatile because it can be used as a blot powder for any touch ups during the day, however not so convenient. The case is not a twist top jar, it just gets lifted up to expose the product but this can become a chaos because product can fall out to the sides everywhere or fly around. I don't recommend any usage with that coarse sponge puff it comes with, this is most best applied with a large powder brush or a kabuki. For midday touch ups, I'd recommend investing in a velour puff or something more softer and sturdier than the application this originally comes with. Another con is that this should always be stored upright because once product passes through the sifter, it stays mainly atop the barrier and a pile of product basically sits there making messes a more frequent occurring incident.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 13 of 14 people said helpful

Fantastic
This is a great product at any price, but the fact that it's about $3 makes it even better. This is the best translucent face powder I have used, its very fine and soft, it makes your face look perfectly and naturally matte and sets makeup very well. However, I would not recommend using the sponge that comes with it, I use a small kabuki.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Good for the Price
At $4-$5 depending on where you buy it, this is a pretty good powder. It works with you if you work with it. I like to use it with a damp sponge or very lightly with a fuller powder brush in patting motions. This powder can easily look noticeable and patch if you bake with it, use too much, or use a brush or tool that doesn't pat/press it in to the skin. I find that it can sometimes crack around m...read morey nose throughout the day too. I will use it up, but since powders are so finicky with my skin, I think I will invest in another option once I finish this powder, whether that is at a similar or lower price. However, if you're skin is oilier and doesn't get dry patches, or you're on a budget, this is a great cheap powder that I like much more than the ELF loose powder.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Always In My Kit...
$3 for a translucent face powder that goes on beautifully? It's an absolute steal. It's my favorite face powder, partially because of the price but also because of the quality. It goes on so nicely, and keeps me matte. I love it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

A must!
Every girl needs a loose powder in their beauty regime, to keep shine in check and set makeup. This one by NYC is inexpensive and works fantastic. Loose powder does tend to take more time to sift out and apply but it is worth it!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Impressed!
Much better than I had expected. This powder gets the job done with no added shimmer and scents. I buff a little on my T-Zone using a generic cotton puff I bought. I do wish that the lid was screwed on, though. I accidentally dropped it and the lid did not stay on. To avoid the powder from forming clouds of powder whenever I opened it and to have a light application, I taped the holes and re-punctured them using a small pin.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Great Product
I love this NYC powder! The finish is great, and it leaves my skin feeling very light, almost like I'm not wearing makeup. The finish is matte, always a nice addition. I bought the powder in translucent, a clear color (obviously). It's great, but the problem I have with it is that it is EXTREMELY messy. The powder puff it comes with sucks. It doesn't have a twist cap, it actually has a cap you jus...read moret pull off, which makes for extra messiness. Be sure to find your vacuum, you'll need it! I was washing powder off my jeans for weeks! However, for the modest $2.79 I paid, I'm impressed with the quality. I haven't seen any changes in how long my makeup has stayed and not strayed, but I'll keep trying and hopefully let you know. However, if you're in the meaning to get a new loose powder, I'd look for this or a higher end product. The texture of this product is mostly very silky and smooth. Be warned, however, the packaging is quite bulky. The product does last a long time. The powder comes out the top through a sifter, and the packaging suggests when you first open the product to take off the covering, make sure the powder puff is on the sifter and shake it. DO NO do this..this caused a terrible mess all over my carpeting! I had to vacuum it all up..haha. Sooooo. I think otherwise that this product is great and you should purchase it. Sorry that this review jumped around a lot..I am very tired and will be reviewing more products soon! :)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful
