Price: $12-$13 USD for 0.25 oz
Availability: Drugstore and General Dept. Stores (Walmart, Target...)
REVLON claims: "Revlon PhotoReady™ Translucent Finisher is a sheer, translucent shade that eliminates shine and sets makeup. Photochromatic pigments bend, reflect and diffuse light to help erase flaws. Micro-refined ultra-lightweight texture. Soft, luminous finish. Fragrance free and oil free."
This powder, mmmm...has too much shimmer in it to my liking but I like it as a highlighter on top of my cheeks & bridge of my nose. If you like a luminous and a shimmery finish, this is for you. In that, Revlon delivers. I just prefer to place highlighter in certain areas on my face, not all over it (though I do love bronzers with a touch of shimmer on my face). I have noticed it can feel a bit chalky. It works great to set the concealer under my eyes, giving that area a nice glow (but I don't overdo it when applying it, as with any powder). BUT my favorite way to use this powder: I LOVE-LOVE it as a wash on my eyelids up to my brows. Perfect for days when I'm in a rush, natural looks or when I just want to have bright eyelids.
The big con: the price is def. high for a DS product. I mean, the price per ounce would be around $52 for this powder (at regular price) while MAC Select Sheer Pressed powder sells for $52.40 per ounce. Lucky for us, Revlon is almost always on BOGO-half price sale (Off Topic: Is it me or are most drugstores not having BOGO-free sales any more?).
Oh yes, the little brush and mirror are useless. Revlon could provide a more efficient, smaller packaging.

So this powder is a failure to me based on its intended use but a complete success as a soft highlighter and on my eyes (I mean that literally--I've already hit pan). LOL.
Rating: 4/5 (Would I buy again? Yes, considering I use it more as an eyeshadow. Love it.)
Later!
¡Vivan, amen y rían!
