MY OPINION:

Packaging: 

I love it because it looks really classy and chic due to it's black case and  is easy to carry it with you

Color: 

it has a slight yellow color to it, but it will not be obvious while wearing it, it will suit almost every skin color due to it's translucent texture

Smell: 

did not irritate my skin. I could not recognize any strong smell or scent

Oil-Control: 

was definitely ok compared to other translucent high-end powders like MAC or Chanel, but it won't beat the low-end ones, which I already blogged about. It will be able to control the oil-production for a few hours, but definitely not for the whole day - but definitely depends on your skin type too

Long-Lasting effect: 

If you just have dry to normal skin, it will definitely last you the whole day I guess. But if you have oily or combination skin, I would say that it won't  last the whole day. You definitely will have to blot several times per day

Finish:

Finish-wise it is really a nice product. Due to it's sheer and fine texture, it looks really natural, even right after application. It did not look caky during the day, which I experienced with many other powders.

OVERALL:

4/5

Pro: 

Natural finish and nice packaging

Contra:

Price (around 35 Euro)

 Oil-control and long-lasting effect is good but not perfect

 If you just aim oil-control I would recommend buying low-end brands instead because some of them are definitely more effective and way cheaper too

Even though the color is on the yellow side ( which is good for people with NC), it is not really obvious on your face later on, so that you can also use a white/translucent product instead
