The ELF Clarifying Pressed Powder was bought in early 2012. You get a teensy-weensy elf-sized compact that does not have a mirror but only a baby soft powder puff. The powder is unscented and very finely milled, it disappears like magic into the skin after applying.

The powder's overall performance is good -- oil control, shine-free, long lasting. However, my big problem here are the shades. There are only three shades available and Honey is like a deep tan! With many other brands, the shade 'honey' usually means light golden-beige color. The effect is such that I could use this instead for contouring or bronzer.

Great: oil control, lasting power, overall performance
Neutral: limited shades
Against: used as contour/blush instead, Honey is too dark, tiny product
