Dr. Max Huber's spin-off, The Powder by La Mer (thanks to 三姐 for helping me procure this).
Aside from the cream, this is (from their makeup line) La Mer's most raved product.
I got this in 01 Creme, Translucent has got the shiny particles, so if you don't like glitter on your face, beware like me and opt for Creme.
Description and ingredients.
Brand overview.
The Powder info.
Opening . . .
Frosted plastic case. White cap. Bulky.
Small soft puff.
The 20 small holes were covered with sticker.
Texture: Extremely fine. Dissipates like smoke in the air when tapped with brush.
Color: Light beige with pink undertones.
Finish: Radiant, natural.
Oil-control: Yes.
Coverage: Effect similar to translucent loose powders. May be built up to light to medium.
Irritation: None.
Overall: Lives up to its reputation. The best sheerly-pigmented loose powder I've tried.
Bottom of it.
Below is MAC's Lip Conditioner in its white embossed box (Thank you 三姐 for helping me procure this {so much cheaper in Hongkong}.).
Opening, opening . . .
White-silvery tube.
Slanted applicator.
Back detail.
Texture: Gooey.
Color: Clear.
Scent: Vanilla.
Thoughts: Good hydration. Ok for night use, but Lucas' Papaw Ointment provides way more moisture. If for day use, use alone as it does not sink in lips to act as lip base. Overall, a basic lip balm that hydrates -- no more, no less.
