Jurlique are one of my go to brands when my skins needs some TLC and I am obsessed with their Rosewater Balancing Mist which I keep on my desk at work to give my face some extra moisture mid way through the day when I have been sat looking at a computer screen.
In amongst all of their lovely products, this Rose Silk Finishing Powder is one of my all time favourite products from them and it is one I wanted to share on my blog today.

I have a 'thing' with finishing powders. I really like them to a mist but getting the hang of using them can become tiresome and annoying, you either add too much or not enough, so trial and error is a huge factor with products like this for me. Like most Jurlique products, this one comes packed inside a beautifully decorated cardboard box which depicts some beautiful floral decoration along with everyting you need to know about what is inside. Inside the box is a sleek looking tub which is really luxurious looking. Lifting the lid on the tub there is a mirror which is a great size and really handy plus a powder puff for application.
The Jurlique Rose Silk Finishing Powder is described as being a "translucent facial powder with precious botanicals designed to minimise oiliness and shine, to help skin feel smooth and look radiant". The finishing powder itself is incredibly finely milled and has a lovely silky feel to it. It also doesn't feel as though you are just covering your face in talcum powder either which is a massive bonus and nor does it leave any hint of it being there on the skin, other than the incredible scent. If you have use any of the Rose products from Jurlique you will be familiar with the scent already, but if not, it smells just incredible of fresh roses.
Application of this finishing powder is quite easily, I use the powder puff to intitially apply the powder and then taking my Real Techniques Bold Metal Arched Powder Brush to ensure I have even coverage and have my t-zone well and truly covered. As I have said the powder is really lightweight so you don't know it is there and what it does do is ensure my skin stays oil and shine free for most of the day with only the need to re-apply if I have an event in the evening.
This is for me an incredible finishing powder and having had this little pot of joy for almost a year, I am sad to find it is coming to an end though it is definitely something I would re-purchase. Costing £26 for 10g it isn't cheap but it is definitely a worthwhile investment.

What is your favourite finishing powder or do you prefer finishing mists?
I have never tried a finishing powder but this does look good.
ReplyDeleteAhh, Rachel, I'm sold!! 10 times over! I love Jurlique! I didn't know they did a finishing powder. I adore finishing powders. They complete a make-up look beautifully. I wouldn't be without one! I use By Terry's Hydra Powder and while I absolutely love it, the price - £46 I think? Ouch! When it's finished I'm going to try this Jurlique one. The rose fragrance is an added bonus for me too, love rose. Fab review. Tx
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this brand before. I am currently using a No7 one which i really like .
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous is this packaging!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently using a MAC powder which I love but it's almost run out!!

ReplyDeleteI love the packaging of Jurlique products so much! Their recovery is my favourite product :) I don't have much experience with finishing powders, I'd definitely end up applying too much xx

I don't really use any powder but I have used MAC Setting Spray and planning on trying the UD Setting Spray too which I'm getting for my birthday. Thank you for the lovely post :)
ReplyDeleteI'v enever heard of Jurlique, I tend to use Sephora's powder
ReplyDeleteI use a Ben Nye colourless finishing powder, that is pricey too - but last for AGES! I need powder to finish off my make-up, it feels weird if I don't! x
ReplyDeleteI love Jurlique, but I haven't tried this finishing powder before. I'd definitely give it a try though, especially since it lasted you so long :)

ReplyDeleteI have MAC transcullent poweder and I had SMahbox before. Now I was given similar to yours (dont remeber the name upss) so I am looking foreard to try it!
ReplyDeleteI never use finishing powder or mist, I should do. Maybe will have a look for one next time I'm shopping.
ReplyDeleteOoh I need a new powder and this sounds absolutely perfect! Going to go and have a look on their website x
ReplyDeleteI use both a powder and a mist, and I find that it really works for the summer Cali heat. That powder does look lush though, if I do say so.

Isn't it funny how a pretty box makes such a difference to our initial impressions of a product? I love a finishing powder, I'm a big fan of Keromask at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds brilliant! I've never spent so much on a powder but I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and invest at some point soon.

ReplyDeleteI use the bare minerals one and it always goes so fast. This looks good too
ReplyDeleteI love finishing powders, I haven't come across this one before though, it sounds lovely! xx
ReplyDeleteI do love the idea of finishing powders although I've not used one for a while. My skin is quite dry so I never seem to get the right balance. Maybe I just need some practice :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely powder. I'm loving at the moment my Chanel loose powder x
