Skin Food Peach Sake Pore Pact

I was meant to do this review long time ago, as I use this product from almost a year... Well, better late than not at all, right? :D

Product description: This Pore Pact is made with rice sake that controls sebum production, while peach extract provides vitamins A and C. Rice extract and witch hazel help normalise pores leaving a smooth and lustrous appearance.

Product is a very handy 9g pressed powder pact with mirror and puff included. Like a lot of Skin Food's products it doesn't have any box/cardboard packaging, comes just sealed with film.

The moment you open the packaging you can feel a gorgeous peach smell. The smell fades during/after application. I'm really fussy when it comes to powder puffs - it has to be sponge like, but also soft and fluffy (I don't like velour ones). Since I thrown away my old favourite puff I couldn't find anything good enough, until I bought this pact. The attached puff is amazing - when I use up the powder I'm going to keep the puff!

A lot of people dislikes this product as "it doesn't do anything" - the funny thing is that it's subtle performance is what I like most about this product.
First if all - it has a very delicate colour, on the Skin Food website it's claimed to be transparent. It goes with every BB cream! :)
Secondly - it does mattify, but... not completely. And that's the part I like the most. As you can read in my 5 things you should know about BB Cream post, the majority of BB Creams are leaving skin dewy. It's nice and fresh effect, but slightly annoying on the T-zone. But as much as I want to matiffy my nose, I don't want to completely kill off the dewy effect - and that was happening with other powders. This one is just perfect to use with BB Cream - it does mattify a little bit, but not to a full flat matt, skin is still enlighted. Lovely!

The only downside is, that it's too subtle to be used on it's own - sometimes when I have lazy day and can't be bothered to put the whole make up on I just use dome pressed powder to even out and mattify my skin a little bit - but I have to use different one for this purpose, as this one is just not enough on it's own.

Price: £5-6 on e-Bay.

Pros:
+ beautiful peachy smell
+ transparent - goes with every BB Cream
+ mattifyies, but without completely killing BB's dewy effect
+ cheap
+ a little goes a long way

Cons:
- too subtle to be used on it's own
- no SPF

I really love this product! However I'm not sure about re-purchase as I would like to get some powder with SPF.
