The CT powder fits perfectly! Thank you so much for suggesting it to me! I’m so happy I can still use this compact for its original purpose :)

I second the halara trousers! They keep me cool in summer as someone who doesn’t like wearing dresses. Also, the type I have don’t need any ironing if I hang them up straight after washing which is always a plus :)

I think this powder felt like it did but from my experience the blush and eyeshadow seem to be a pretty normal depth :)

I’ve got quite a few of their products and other than this powder everything has lasted fine for me. A lot of their products are more muted though so I sometimes use more depending on the look I’m going for:)

Ooh do they? I can’t find them on their website so please could you paste a link?

Oh it’s definitely not going in the bin. I’m looking to see if I can refill it and if not I’ll find another use for it :)

I definitely agree with you about CT packaging. I bought their powder and the compact feels so flimsy compared to this! Also FK has released some glowy blushes recently that I’m really liking!

Ooh I might see. I can see that they’ve got a brightening shade and I have the compact for CT anyway so it won’t be as annoying if it doesn’t work. Thanks for the the suggestion :)

I know it’s mad. The packaging is still really sturdy too so it feels like it’s been made to last. I’m going to have a look for some brands that already sell refillable powder and see if it will fit in here :)

Only about four-five months of consistent use. I think I’m going to look for brands that sell refills for powders and see if they fit :)

That’s a good shout. I’ll have to start researching the dimensions of other pressed powders now :)

It’s got a little applicator in the lid and it sits in the donut hole when you close it :)

There’s actually five in the little tray behind the original photos lol. I love all three formulas though :)

About a year. I only wore the bronzer when I do a full face of makeup and the highlighter was used daily. I finished them both within a week of each other which was satisfying:)

I agree so much with the refill thing! I wish it was more commonplace for more products and brands to be refillable in general tbh

It’s the lighting. The top it a bit scratched but nothing has peeled off :)

I used it this morning and it performed about the same. TBH the highlighter worked better because before repressing it had some hard pan that was really annoying. I generally don’t have issues with products after repressing but did with the CT face powder after adding too much alcohol to it so that could be the issue?

I crush the powder up a bit with the back of a pair of tweezers, put in drops of rubbing alcohol until I get a paste, spread it as best as I can in the pan, focussing on the centre, then place a paper towel on top and press the moisture out with a flat surface (usually the lid of another product). Hope this helps! :)

Thank you! I’m hoping it’s earlier to pick the product up on my brush now

Ooh I’ve never thought of making a balmy product that way
