The compact readers:
Feel shiny within, not without! Revolutionary light-reflecting powder contains porous silica beads, which absorb oil and minimize shine. Lightweight powder feels weightless on the skin without adding color, and sets with a luminous soft-focus finish.
Directions: Use alone or over makeup to set and seal foundation. Brush powder lightly and evenly over face and neck. May be used throughout the day for touch-ups and to rid shine.
I know that some drugstore brands make LOOSE colorless silica powders (NYX Studio Finishing Powder, e.l.f. Studio High Definition Powder and Ruby Kisses Set n Forget HD Powder come to mind), but I'm trying to think of another drugstore brand that currently makes a PRESSED silica powder and I'm drawing a blank (Hard Candy used to make one, but they discontinued it a few years ago).
At any rate, this is very exciting because this might be a nice, affordable alternative to the NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Powder ($34), MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder ($25), Make Up For Ever HD Pressed Powder ($36), Laura Mercier Smooth Focus Pressed Setting Powder ($34), etc.

Have you spotted this new powder from Wet n Wild in your area yet? Thoughts?
Thanks so much, Lorraine and Jenn, for the great sighting and pics. I really appreciate it!

I am REALLY excited for this one!
ReplyDeleteGood! I am running out of my back up of Welcome Matte so I hope this one is comparable.
ReplyDeleteEssence has a powder much like the NARS light reflecting pressed powder! Its called 'mattifying fixing powder' --it has the same silica, finely milled feel to it! Can't wait for wet n' Wilde's version though!!! :)
ReplyDeleteTotally forgot about the Essence one! Thank you!!
DeleteOmg I need to get my hands on this
ReplyDeleteHave got to try to spot this!!
ReplyDeleteEssence makes a wonderful pressed mat tidying translucent powder for $3.99 at ULTA. Bought it today and I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I totally forgot about that one!
DeleteOooh yes! Essence All About Matt is FABULOUS on my very oily skin. It's the best I've tried, and I've tried everything from DS to higher end.
DeleteI need this!!
ReplyDeleteEssence makes one.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Totally forgot about that one, and I think I even posted about it back when it first came out. Lol!
DeleteWow that is indeed cool!!! Never heard of this either!
ReplyDeleteA pressed silica powder that I can think of is the Urban Decay one. I have it and it's pressed white, translucent, i actually love it! Not sure if it's actually silica powder though.
ReplyDeleteHope to see this soon! I have the elf hd whatever and that did nothing to curb shine.
ReplyDeleteWow need this... :)
ReplyDeleteOooooh! I cannot WAIT to get my hands on this!
ReplyDeleteIt's translucent powder--been around since about 1960!
ReplyDeleteIt's not just a translucent powder. As I mentioned in this post, it's a silica powder, and there's a big difference, in terms of texture, feel, finish and potential capabilities when compared to a traditional pressed translucent powder.
DeleteThis looks awesome! I've been looking for a good mattifying powder. I use the Rimmel one currently, but I find myself not loving it as much as I used to
ReplyDeleteSame here Katy, I feel as if I was in love with the Rimmel powder when I first got it and now I reach for it less and less.
DeleteI have been using the rimmel stay matte for years. And I'm ready for a change. I have extremely oily skin. So I'm truly hoping this will work. If not any other suggestions.

DeleteBlack Opal makes one but it's very hard to find. I'm excited to try this one out!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liza! I think that one of the Rite Aids here recently reset their Black Opal display but I didn't look closely at the face stuff since it all looked the same as before. Now I need to go back and look again! :)
DeleteNeutrogena's mattifying powder is amazing, but the price point on this wet n wild powder is way better! I can't wait to try it! :-)
ReplyDeletei want to try it so bad but my skin hates silica :(
ReplyDeleteI'd be excited to find this! Yet somewhat upset... I just spent 20 something bucks on an it cosmetics bye bye pores transparent powder. (First ingredient: silica)
ReplyDeleteI got it. I just haven't gotten around to testing it out. Terrible habit I have here. :/
ReplyDeleteNEED. IT.
ReplyDeleteNEED. IT.
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteWould this cause breakouts? I only use oil free products, but i want to try this out. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSince its cheap you should give it a shot (CVS allow returns I know), while silica irritates my skin it controls oil really well for a lot of people. I only wish this had been around before I got stuck with a container of MUFE I can't use lol
DeleteBought it and love it! I was using on occasion the Rimmel, but so much hype and really didn't care for that one at all. For $4.99, come on..you cannot go wrong!
