Thin Lizzy 6 in 1 Professional Powder Set Review

Back when I was in high school and was just starting to experiment with makeup, this was my go-to foundation. Easy to apply and very light. Was a good starting point, but would not use it now as it is only in two shades, and it was difficult to get my exact shade with it

I was sucked in at a local trade show, one of those home and garden events where there are rows of sellers selling their wear. Under the weird lighting I tried out this powder and thought it looked pretty good so purchased that deal of buy 1 get 1 free in a tin set. Well, it was all fine until I pulled the sun visor down in the car to check my lipstick and was shocked to see an oompa lumpa staring back at me. What appeared to give me a lovely natural glow look inside the stadium had in natural daylight turned out to be a lovely shade of orange which just looked as if I had dunked my head into a bag of cheesy cheetos.

Totally ashamed of my look I headed home and washed off, which lead me to find out that this powder isn't that great to remove, it seemed to become oily when water touches and left a very dirty stain on my wash cloth.

Lucky for me my 2 young nieces that like to play dress up were very happy to receive a tin each to play with when I later visited them. Who ever thinks that this looks good must have a darker skin tone than me, I even get recalled horror shivers when I see the ad on tv.

This is like a bronzing powder and looks amazing over my foundation gives a lovely tanned look. It did make me a bit shiny. My skins medium but I got light as its quite dark, its also great as an eye shadow. Or a blusher. Its a great product especially for the summer glow, better then 'natural glow'

All -in-one products are obviously not going to be amazing in every aspect that they claim to do, however, I do expect it to be atleast reasonable. So when I bought this product my expectations were high as I thought that I could atleast use it for something. But nope.

I found it hard to blend even with their specially designed brush. it left spots that were darker than others. it also gave me an unhealthy looking orange tinge

Blusher aswell? hmm well unless you blush orange then I don't think so.

Contour - some skin tones you may get away with the sort of colours but personally I like a grey toned contour so will not go out in public with this. Definitely does not give a shadow effect on my pale skin tone

Eye Shadow..why?! so many other amazing affordable products out there so that's just silly.

Lip colour - no thanks. unless u want ur lips to blend into your face looking cracked .

BUT as a bronzer I really like the shine !

This used to be my holy grail when I was younger and knew what bronzer was. I do love the colour but feel that there are bronzers for the same price with better formula and easier to blend.

I purchased this product at a women's expo after the lovely sales lady convinced me it was perfect. I was really disappointed that the powder didn't even last until I had reached the car park. But not to be deterred I set about to try again. To my dismay I couldn't make it stay on my face. The sale woman put quite a lot on so I tried dabbing it with toilet paper to absorb some of it off my skin but the powder clumped in my creases and looked orange on my skin. This was obviously not the product for me, that said it was nicely packaged and came with a free lip gloss and brush, both are excellent quality. This often comes as a buy one get one free - a great deal if this product works for you.

Loved this!!! Amazing one of the my favs I put on everyday :) light on the face and goes darker the more you put on with a little bit of a sparkle. Good for bronzer or contouring as well. Love the set as well.

Though it says it's a 6 in 1 product, I don't believe that is accurate. I found this product was great as an eyeshadow and lip colour and that's about it. I didn't really notice much difference when using it as a contour, blusher, bronzer and face framer. I felt a bit let down actually, I was really hoping it was going to be that holy grail item but really wasn't to me.
