Review: Why I will NOT buy Maybelline's Clear Smooth All in One Shine Free Cake Powder again

I will NOT be buying Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One Shine Free Cake Powder anymore.

The first time I was attracted how it's pink and affordable (Php 249.00). But the first day I used it the cake powder cracked. Maybe I just got the crappy one so I just mashed it and poured the powder into my empty can of Maybelline's Clear smooth mineral foundation.

I bought the refill, few months later, giving the product model (not the brand, because I've always loved Maybelline because it suits my skin well) a chance to redeem itself. It works well if you use it on it's refill case, but when I transferred it to the main compact,for the second time around, this is what it looked like:


Then my sister showed me this and I wish I had known this sooner:

But then, I don't want to go through the hassle of repairing it every time it breaks. So now I'm on a quest to find a reasonably priced foundation. Make up junkies say that we ladies shouldn't crimp on foundation, but I'm really loving Maybelline's Clear Smooth Mineral Loose powder foundation. I just wish it didn't cost that much. (Php599.00).

How did you transfer the refill to the compact case? :) Thanks!

Use a pin it's on the bottom part of the compact. (like any other powder compact) but this one's a little harder to see because it's covered. You can lift the sides of the compact using a pin to lift it up. That what I did with mine. Hope this helps! :)
