Good Coverage
This product offers good coverage, absorbs oil, controls shine and allows for touch-ups during the day without icky build-up. Good for really oily skin.

I usually love this product, but I got one with the new packaging last month and it was terrible. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch or if the formula changed with the new packaging as well, but the powder started cracking after just a few uses and turned in to a crumbly mess! I am now having to...

not a fan, very white casting.
Meh
Used it for the first time, and I wasn't impressed. Bought one a few months ago, and now that I'm halfway through, the powder is starting to chip and big chunks are coming loose in the compact. It's very sheer and light, which I like, but I don't think it does a good job of keeping shine away. I either have to put on A TON, or constantly keep re applying for it to work well.
Worth using up, but wouldn't repurchase.
I got this powder because I wanted something sheer, lightweight and mattifying to set my liquid foundations, and to wear by itself on my light makeup days. On day one I noticed that this powder is VERY hard pressed and was difficult to pick up on the sponge that came with it. I had to actually scrape the hardened top layer of powder away to be able to pick up any product. The texture of the product is ok, but it isn't as finely milled or light as I was hoping. It has a tendency to feel thick and heavy especially if you use it for setting. I don't really like touching up with this powder throughout the day because of that. The shade range was a little strange too….The shade I got looks kinda grey and ashy on me, but it does oxidize a bit and looks more natural after a while. The other shade options looked like they'd be way too yellow to work for me, so I'm stuck with this one. As far as oil control, it does the job briefly but I find my oils come through pretty quickly and I'm not even a particularly oily person. Yet it dries my skin out significantly which is disappointing. I'm about halfway through my compact and the powder keeps getting hard and almost dried out, where the only way I can continue to use it is by scraping the top layer off again. I use it daily so I don't know why this happens. I've never experienced this with other pressed powders. I notice a lot of people had issues with the powder cracking fresh out the compact and I wonder if that's why. It just seems to dry out quickly. I will continue to use it up but I have too many issues with it to justify repurchasing.
Powder cracked

I've been using this powder for years. Recently (45 or so days after purchasing it) it became loose in the case and randomly cracked and started like crumbling. It was not dropped or anything. I tried to exchange it at the Ulta store I purchased it at, but because it was over 30 days they could not do anything. It is really frustrating because of the price I expect better quality. I had to buy a new powder.
Disappointed in Condition Received

I love this powder and have been using it for a few years. I like to purchase before I run out, so sometimes I do not open the product immediately. My last one lasted longer than expected, so I did not open the new one for a while after I received it. When I opened it, the makeup was no longer glued into the compact. I reached out to customer service who told me that it was past the 30 days, so they could not help me. I have had never had this issue before, so clearly it is on off or something. For the price, I expect quality which I did not receive this time.
