I have been using this product for quite some time now and the results are just something worth sharing. I am just happy I was able to try this out and see how it can do wonders on my face.

What I am talking about is this newest powder from the brand L'Oreal Paris. This is the Mat Magique All-In-One Matte Transforming Powder which was launched early this year and is now available in the leading department stores nationwide for Php499 each. You can also buy a refill for Php399. This as SPF 34 PA +++ so you don't need to worry about getting exposed to the sun.

The packaging is something that first caught my attention. The box looks stunning and expensive. It gave me the thought that this product is going to be really expensive since the box isn't cheap looking at all. But I was wrong. It is completely affordable. The compact is very sturdy and I am loving the purplish-pink color which makes it look girly yet classy. It is made out of plastic but doesn't feel cheap at all.

You will get a nice-sized mirror perfect for touch ups because you can definitely see your face in there. Plus, it has a sponge that is really helpful and not flimsy at all. It feels quite rubbery but doesn't smell like one. I can totally ditch my powder brush and use this instead. Another thing I find nice is the separate compartment for the sponge. It just makes it hygienic.

As I have mentioned in my other reviews, I appreciate when the packaging shows ingredients, expiry and/or manufacturing dates. This has a shelf life of 24 months but I think I will hit the pan in no time.

Vanilla Ivory (left without flash; right with flash)[/caption]
It is available in five shades and mostly are yellow toned and suited for every Filipina.

The shade I used for myself is G1 Vanilla Ivory (the one I swatched). I think it is the perfect match for my skin tone. The powder is fine and feels really smooth when applied. It is not powdery because it is well-pressed on to its pan. It gives medium coverage and can be used on its own.
It has a very faint smell that you can only notice when you really put it very close to your nose. But most likely, you will not notice it.

See the claims? Primes, covers and perfects! It's like hitting three birds with one stone. Combo 3x! Thanks to its Volcanic Perlite Infusion that helps the powder absorb sebum. I placed the powder to the test. Let's see what happened. See the video below to know how I applied the powder and to know my first impression verdict.

The left photo shows my bare face (eyebrows defined already) and the right with the L'Oreal Mat Magique Powder in Vanilla Ivory and my other makeup as well. As you can see, it covered pretty much all the imperfections even without foundation or bb cream underneath. But I noticed that my broken capillaries on the cheek area are still peeking through (refer to the video). It gives medium coverage but I love how it evened out my skin tone without making me look cakey or too white. Application was easy. I used the sponge it came with because I know it will give me better coverage than using a brush.

Left - after 5 hours; Right - after blotting[/caption]
After 5 hours, I noticed my nose getting a bit shiny but I did not feel heavy or too oily. I just needed to blot the oil away and after that, I feel like the powder is still doing its job on giving coverage so that imperfections won't be seen. I can still see the blush and contour powder which is actually a good sign hence, I did not retouch at all.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
Left - after 12 hours ; Right - after blotting[/caption]
After 12 hours, it felt like the powder has faded and oil is visible already. But after blotting, I still feel like I have powder on. It faded on the areas I normally touch like the sides of the nose and under eye areas but I still feel pretty decent with how my face looks. If I needed to wear makeup for more than 12 hours and I will use this as my base, I think touch up is needed. But within the 12 hours or using this alone, I am pretty satisfied.

Here, I used it to set a bb cream. I used a powder brush instead because I don't want to add too much coverage since the bb cream already did that. This is the look after 12 hours. I had to retouch the powder once just because I feel like the coverage is slightly fading. I am not sure if it is because of the bb cream or the weather.
When I used the product alone, I did not retouch but after 12 hours, you can already see the dark area under my eyes. When I used this product with a BB cream, I felt the need to touch up but after 12 hours, my under eye area is not as dark. So I guess the BB cream made me a bit oilier but touching up mid of the day helped with hiding the imperfections. I guess it is safe to say that with my skin condition which is combination to oily, I can skip retouch and just blot the oil away but if I want to maximize the coverage it gives, touching up once will definitely help.

Overall rating: 4.3/5
As you can see, I am giving this product a really good rating. I love it to bits but I cannot give it a perfect one simply because I think there are still room for improvements. But, as of the moment, this is my go to powder. I love the fact that I can use this alone and still look as if I applied a foundation or BB cream underneath. I love this product to the point that I bought one and gave it to my mom. She needs to try it as well. For sure, I will be buying refills.
So that is it for my review of the L'Oreal Mat Magique All-in-One Matte Transforming Powder. I hope I am able to give you the details you are looking for in a review. Let us now move on to the fun part, THE GIVEAWAY!

I need to stay 12 hour matte and shine free everyday, since the puberty stage is full of flaw outbreaks such as pimples, black and white heads, oily skin, and worst pimple scars!!! I really need to stay shine free and have a matte polished face all day because I have an oily face, winning MAT magique would be the greatest magic I will experience in my life... Oh how happy am I to just imagine looking my face in front of the mirror seeing my face flawless and shine free would be heaven!!! Plus it will boost my confidence to face the world with my head up high.
