3 brands two way cake refils review



Hello, Every one...this is another review :)
This time I want to review about 3 two way cake powders that I have been using lately. 
I tried my first run on Wardah Luminous Two Way Cake  in 01. Light Beige. Then I tried the Pigeon Two Way cake in Innocent White, then the last one is Maybelline Clear Smooth all in one Shine Free Cake Powder in  01. Light. 

Lets get rockin :D

Packaging : Overall, I choose the refills compared with the complete packaging they sell in the market. I think it will safe more money, because I don't need the complete packaging just for doing makeup at home. And...I never touch up my makeup out side my room nor during the day time I out. I think touch up is kinda less hygienic because you will put some oil from your face, dirt, dust and bacteria  into your makeup products. I just blot my face with tissue or facepaper. I have normal skin. So I don't worry too much for touch up. 

though they are just refills, I think the best packaging design goes to Maybelline. Maybelline provides space for your sponge inside the packaging plus a plastic divider between your two way cake and your sponges. I think they consider the Hygienic way to keep your sponge indirectly so the bacteria doesnt't have a party on your powder :D 
Love the colour and the design. So young and girly. White purple pinkish color. love it!

2nd best packaging goes to wardah, because they don't give a plastic divider but you can keep your sponge inside the powder case. practical, but not as hygienic as Maybelline's one.

last place goes to pigeon. They really designed this product as refills. They don't consider if some of the consumer just don't like to buy the complete packaging or simply their consumer want a cheaper one. I don't really like the packaging. No divider, no space for the sponge, and the color is just plain white. For 25.000 rupiah or 3$, and I guess also not that cheap for a drugstore brand, I expect better quality of the packaging. 



Two way cake quality wise, brand per brand :

for Wardah, I like the yellow tone cake powder it has. It claims that it has vitamin E and microcoated powder for the silky luminous skin. No significant sign of irritation. I spray mineral water after my DIY face primer, then just simply dab the face powder. 

For Pigeon, the Innocent white does make me look whiter, but not so innocent I guess. I naturally have less innocent face. :))
It makes me matte all the day, and  I am amazed to see after my nap, there is no oil on my cheek's pores. They normally have hints of oils after my nap.
the negative side, the ability to absorb oils makes me have a dry patch around my left mouth side. I will try to adapt my usage of this TWC Powder. I love the matte effect but nobody loves the dry patch. It does seem better if I apply it with my kabuki brush. More natural :D
