What do I love about Maybelline products?
Well, aside from the fact that my love for makeup started when I was in college and I would stalk Maybelline counter at SM Sta. Mesa (then Centerpoint)?

These products are very affordable and they deliver!
So yes, you and expect some raves for this particular post!

I recently missed the Maybelline White SuperFresh event because mommyhood comes first!  But thanks to the Maybelline PH team for still sending me not only a test product but also MORE for my dear AMW friends to try!  YAY!

This is the newest powder foundation from Maybelline New York that promises to keep your face fresh and matte for up to 12 long hours!  White Super Fresh is the name!  And I got it in shade Natural which is a perfect shade for me!

Pros

• Comes with refill.
• The sponge that comes with the packaging is nice and made of good quality.
• Has a good coverage.
• Can be used both wet and dry.
• Has a good oil-control.
• Makeup does feel fresh ALL DAY.  (for normal and combination skin).
• For very oily skin, less retouching as compared to regular powder foundation. 
• Has a matte finish - I love matte finish powder foundation.
• Very smooth texture.
• Has SPF34 PA+++
• No caking.  Skin looks amazingly fresh.
• Can cover minor darkness and redness.
• Thankfully, this powder did not cause skin dryness.  I have extremely dry skin and this works!  So this product works for ALL skin types.
  
• Price!
  

Cons

•  If you purchase the wrong shade, there could be white cast on photos.
• Shades, not much choices for darker complexion.

Neutral

• Packaging.  Some may find this okay but some likes smaller and more compact powder foundation packaging.

Overall
A matte, medium to full coverage powder foundation that indeed gives at least 8 hour freshness.

Tips

• Cannot stress further, WASH the sponge at least once a week!
• For light coverage, apply dry.  For heavier coverage, spritz your sponge or brush with water and apply.
• To keep the skin from looking dull and "flat", contour and highlight after powder foundation application.
• Apply with dabbing motion on areas that needed extra coverage.
• If you perspire or you feel like you're oiling up, dab with a clean tissue paper or an oil-blotting sheet and you'll look fresh as newly retouched.

Will I repurchase?
Yes.

To whom do I recommend this to?
Oily, combination and normal skin users. 

Where to purchase and how much?
At local Maybelline counters for Php299.00 (approx $6.95).

Packaging

PR team sent me The Fresh Test kit!  All I need to do is spritz with water on Brand X and Maybelline White Super Fresh.

I actually did a whole lot of spritzing 

 As seen, the Brand X did not absorb the water while Maybelline did it perfectly!  And after this "spritz test", I am happy to announce that the powder is still good as new!  I am actually using this tester product and it works just as fine making it a legit Cake Powder (a product that can be used both wet and dry).

 Before and After

I applied using a flat Kabuki Brush!

Check out it evens out my skin and covers darkness around the eyes and red spots on my cheeks and sides of the nose.
