Review : KOSE Sekkisei Supreme Loose Powder SPF12++
As for Japan Brand, my family has trusted
Kose for a long, long, long time! My granny, my auntie, and Mom are all using
Kose. Me? Still finding for the right skincare because Kose doesn’t have the
range for troubled and sensitive skin like mine….*get slapped*
My Mom is the most loyal user of them all
LOL. When I shopped with her like….back there in November, ahem, I got this
loose powder for my own.
Beautiful-Useful Cap!
The packaging is sleek, comes in a pearly
white jar with a mirror-like cap which can reflect things. I lost the box when
I took these photos, boo me~
The bad from this mirror-like cap is, it
will easily get stained of your finger prints and it’s so easily to get scratched!
The good is, I often use this cap as a mirror because it reflects things out
pretty good la, hohoho. The cap also closes tightly too, and the container
overall is made of sturdy plastic and quite strong.
Here’s what inside, there’s a smooth,
super soft white puff which I really love! It has super good quality too, not
like the other puff which usually comes along with loose powder; this one is
not easily getting rough or loosened its original shape even after getting
through washing for several times.
Sealed = More Trustable!
Like other loose powder, this one also
comes with a shifter made of thick plastic. The shifter’s holes are covered
with white sticker as a seal, to keep the product inside sterile and hygiene
before using. Don’t forget to ask for an exchange if you soon find out the seal
inside is broken that you haven’t even touched it!
Kose Sekkisei Supreme Loose Powder has SPF
12++ for your UV protection. I’d say it’s just an additional protection,
because it’s in loose powder and loose powder usually gone very easily. Go for
a real sunblock underneath before using this powder for a serious, real UV
protection!
Despite of the real quite big container it
comes with, this powder only has 14g in it! Blah, we need more eh?
Has Beautiful Shimmer!
The powder is white, with very fine
shimmer. Don’t worry the shimmer won’t make your face look like a disco ball,
it’s super fine you can barely see them once applied on face. It will leave you
with a glowy skin on photos and in real life.
It’s also finely milled as it goes on
smoothly on face and not set into fine lines or laugh lines. It also doesn’t
crack at the end of day, phew! The powder are super lightweight and the
coverage is almost zero I’d say, because it has translucent with glow (because
of the fine shimmer!) finish. I
personally think it’s just a setting powder for me.
As what I explained before that this
powder has spf in it, some may think that taking photos with this powder might
be a bad idea. I would not agree on that statement! I tested out this product
with my camera plus its flash before buying it—okay now you know how important
is it to grab camera and have it with you whenever, and wherever you are—and guess
what, it photographs beautifully. I was left with beautiful glowy skin, not a
scary whitecast.
Oil Control? Check!
Lasts on me for 3-4 hours before started
wearing off, the oil control is quite awesome I should say. I have
combination-oily skin which sometimes can be very annoying once I used the
products that just don’t suit me and my skin well. But with this powder, there
were no excessive oil nor greasy looking on my face after hours and this powder
simply didn’t break me out which made me sigh out of a relief.
Oxidize………okay just a little
bit.
Oxidize a very little bit is the only down
side point for this product! It does oxidize, even for a slight bit, but it
does oxidize one me. Maybe it is something to do with the SPF?
***
For the price, I believe this powder ain’t
cheap yo. It’s for retail IDR 599,000 or around $60. No cheap, eh? Japanese
products are quite expensive outside Japan, but I believe it is sold in Japan
way cheaper! But wait, KOSE Sekkisei Supreme is one of their high-end range
both for the makeup and skincare range, so the price is quite reasonable for
the price eh?
Score
Last
Words?
It gives you a
glowy, healthy and radiant skin look once applied. This powder contains
shimmer, a very fine shimmer which just blends beautifully with skin but still
does the glowy job. If you hate shimmer or want a matte look, this powder
almost is definitely not for you!
So, would you or have you tried this powder? Giving it a try?

I love this review! I am currently finding the suitable loose powder for me... But it's the way TOO expensive for poor uni student like me! ;A;
