Dream Girl: BB Powder Lovelight SPF 15 PA+++ (4u2)

Hi lovelies! 
How's everyone? Hope you're all doing well. :)

If you're my follower on twitter, then maybe you've seen my tweet about my new purchase from 4u2 cosmetics. Face powder is one of my daily essentials. My loyal readers/audience must already know that I'm absolutely in love with BB creams and light coverage face products. You may see my usual face routine video HERE. I was intrigued by this product's name...I thought "BB powder? Of course I should definitely give this a try!". And I've been hearing a lot of raves about this Dream Girl BB Powder Lovelight. Hence, I had a hard time getting this one. It was always out of stock in Watsons and in local SM Department Stores. Fortunately, about 10 days ago, I finally had a chance to grab one. Here's what it looks like...Not the typical box packaging of face powders right?




PRODUCT CLAIMS:

*PROS:
-Travel-friendly, convenient size and kawaii packaging. I love the idea of a pink compact. But might be a CON for some if you prefer a professional packaging look.
-Great that it still comes with a mirror considering it's handy-dandy size.
-The coverage of the powder itself for me is light (which I love cause I'm letting my skin breath). I used it over several brands of BB cream and it worked great, builds light-medium coverage. While, using it over liquid foundations can build medium up to may be full coverage. It actually depends on  what products you'll work together.
-The sponge is nice and great for setting my concealer. Also blends well on skin using face brushes, specially my F84 Sigma and Large Face Powder Brush from Beauty Cosmetics. But the sponge alone works great, it also prevents it from being chalky than using brushes.
-Affordable price and locally available.
-Staying power is considerably good. Recently, I've been very lazy to do touch ups. I noticed that I actually don't have to,  my skin doesn't look oily at the end of the day (But please consider that I work in an air-conditioned environment everyday).
- It has SPF 15 PA++ which protects us from the harsh sun.
-Most importantly, this didn't have any skin break out! *yey!*

*CONS:
- Be careful of using this with a liquid foundation, it accentuates fine lines and wrinkles. Remember to blend well to prevent cakey feeling.
-The no.1 (which is the lightest) is still a little dark for my fair skin tone.
-The SA where I went didn't have any sample/testers where I can swatch and choose. The ones displayed are their old round foundies/powders.
-I hope there was a plastic separator between the powder and the sponge or mirror for hygienic purposes. But yeah, considering the compact size and prize, it's just okay.

PRICE:
PHP 194.00

WHERE TO BUY?
4u2 counters at Watsons or SM department stores.
4u2 products are also available online thru ZALORA PH.

Little bit of sharing:
In my honest opinion, this is a great compact powder to stash on your purse everyday!

Do I recommend this?
I do recommend this to people who likes  sheer coverage, no-makeup fresh face look and light weight face products. And of course, a BB cream lover/user like me. I also recommend this to ladies who are always on the go as this is very convenient to bring.

I do not recommend this to those who needs/wants  heavy coverage as this lacks the ability to cover up blemishes and dark spots.

First week and few days were absolutely great!
Let's just see in the long run, will just update this review if ever.
Have you tried this powder already?
Lemme know your two cents about it!
