Hey everyone out there 
I think that if you repurchase a product it means that it matches your skin very well and you love it. I’ve been using the Almost Powder Makeup SPF 15 from Clinique for 9 months and when it ran low, I repurchased it.
The only thing I don’t like about it is the packaging. It looks somewhat childish in my book. The plastic is thick and quality, but it imitates malachite, which doesn’t look stylish.
Clinique is a high-end brand, so plunking down some cash we want to get not only quality product but also a nice package. In my opinion, the Almost Powder Makeup SPF 15 doesn’t look pretty.
Inside there is quite a big mirror that you can use for touch-ups on the go.
The package consists of 2 compartments: the one has a powder, the other - a brush.
By the way, the brush is quite workable. It’s tightly bound and the bristles don’t prickle. Moreover, it doesn’t emphasize peeling when applying. However, the brush has its downsides also:
Unpleasant smell that I feel after each cleaning. The fragrance of a shampoo, shower gel and soap can’t handle it.
It sheds extremely bad. The brush started shedding only after 6 months.
The new brush doesn't shed
But the old one has bristles that stick every which way
Now let’s move onto the powder itself. I have it in 2 shades: 2 Neutral Fair and 03 Light.
The first tone has an intense pink undertone and the second one - natural beige.
The shade No.2 is new here, the No.3 is almost over

Ingredients:
Talc, Dimethicone, Nylon-12, Silica, Squalane, Boron Nitride, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Cetyl Caprylate, Diisostearyl Malate, Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Methicone, Aluminum Hydroxide, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Magnesium Palmitoyl Glutamate, Sodium Palmitoyl Sarcosinate, Palmitoyl Proline, Alumina, Tocopherol , Palmitic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Tin Oxide, Sodium Dehydroacetate.
I don’t like that it has Talc, but I keep on using this powder, because it hasn’t caused any problems against my skin after a year and a half of use.
The performance of this powder
My skin type:I have combination skin type with my T-zone being oily in winter. In summer my skin is oily and I have frequent breakouts.
I fell for the Clinique powder, as it meets all my requirements.
