I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Not much of a coverage (some powders are so high pigmented they are almost alone enough for everyday look)
- Finish is not super matte or super oil absorbing
- The plastic case feels flimsy, cheap. Just like the puff. EDIT: In Oct. 2019 the case actually did break, the lid came off. I didn't even drop the case or anything. But at this point I'd already been using the powder for almost a year. Still, what's the deal with the refills anyway if the case will break within a year?
- The refills cost the same as ordering a new powder with the case! Just stupid. (And in general feels stupid to pay double for a product because of the shipping.)
+ Very natural, almost non existent when applied with a brush. With the applicator puff you get more product but the finish is still natural, not quite matte but no where near glowy either.
+ Lasts super long for a powder that doesn't "properly" mattify the skin! 8 hrs day without fixing is good (except my forehead feels oily at that point)
+ Doesn't cling on any dry spots, also didn't turn patchy on oily skin either
+ Affordable
+ Didn't notice any breakouts

* I bought the colour 01 Light which is pretty much perfect. I originally thought it was close to Lumene's Light/Medium (CC Powder) or almost the same but it seems Lumene is still a bit lighter and more pink. I actually think Cezanne is closer to my skintone.
* Someone recommended this powder and said it's natural and suitable for aging skin so I went and bought it as I was out of powder and didn't like Innisfree's No Sebum I had just tested (I've changed my opinion on No Sebum later!).
* I don't think the SPF in this powder means anything as you'd have to apply a huge amount, but I still hope that powdering around my eyes protects them even a little...
* I definitely want to try other things from Cezanne as well. Makeup or skincare, I don't know. Many seem to recommend Skin Conditioner High Moist! Neri Gel seems interesting too.

Buy again?
I would like to think yes. Maybe I'll try something else too, but just because I'm curious.
Worth the money?
I'm so impressed but maybe it's only because I didn't expect much! It's exactly what I wanted, an easy everyday powder. I would recommend it for an aging skin, too. Also for combination skin as it seems to adapt pretty well from oily to dry and never looking bad. I've been using my powder now for 4-5 months maybe and I still have plenty left, probably a half or so.
