Although it claims to not use fragrance, the combined ingredients produce a light gingery scent that I loved so much. I'm not sure about their claim of a light texture, but the creamy powder does provide a thick coverage.

The shade I could choose in the drugstore from November 2011 was either Natural or Beige. Beige being too dark, I went for Natural, which looked okay when the swatches were done before buying. I think one shade was missing (Honey?) and could probably be the best match for myself. The effect of using Natural is that it looked much too pale as if wearing a white mask.

Good product... limited shades available.

Great: overall performance, oil control, gingery scent, full coverage, creamy powder
Neutral: available shades, the names are too long
Against: too pale
