Like many women I am constantly looking for the the best everything, especially when it comes to beauty products. Lets start with the most basic... Powder!
I have very oily skin so I am always trying to find a great mattifying powder. My very first foundation powder was like for many women MAC Studio Fix. While this is a great full coverage make up, it was causing me to break out and always felt like I was wearing a mask. So from there I moved on to try various mineral make ups including Bare Minerals, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, and Make Up Forever in their various mattifying formulas. After much trial and error I went back and forth between loose powder, which I don't mind but it isn't very portable, and pressed powder, which is much easier to apply and travels better, but I feel like I get less product.
So after deciding to go with pressed powder, one day I was browsing through Ulta, with the original plan grabbing my then favorite Laura Mercier, not realizing they do not carry that brand there. One of the sales associates recommended "pur". I'd never heard of the brand but liked what I saw and decided to give it a try.
Pros: Great Medium coverage, easy to apply pressed powder, SPF 15, good selection of colors, reasonably priced $26.
Cons: Smaller amount of product than brands like Laura Mercier. Only sold at Ulta in my area (I prefer Sephora).
So far this is my favorite it does pretty well with oil control but it definitely isn't a miracle worker. The formula is silky and goes on the skin really well.
