"Ben Nye Banana Powder" review

What they claim:
Ben Nye banana powder is "micro-milled" into a silky texture, perfect for setting makeup easily and effortlessly.
My review:
It seems like every beauty brand out there offers their version of translucent powder...so why is everyone going bananas over this one?
Their SECRET is the "micro-milled texture". It feels different & it looks different! But can you really feel the difference? Yes you can, and it feels like a light dust of silk.
Unlike regular translucent powders, Ben Nye's powders lay beautifully on your skin while mattifying your face with a subtle hint of color.
PROS
*comes in a variety of colors
*mattifies
*settles into skin beautifully
*can be used dry or with a damp beauty blender
*has a hint of color
CONS

Retail price $4 - $40

"Mac's Paint Pot" v Bh Cosmetics Smooth Canvas eye shadow primer


Is the $15 difference worth the money?

My review:

Before I discovered Mac's Paint Pot, I was using Bh Cosmetics "Smooth Canvas", so I have used them both extensively. They both do the same job, and are both used for the same purpose, to prime your lids before your eyeshadow...but only one is equivalent to cashmere shirt and the other to a cotton shirt...they both cover you, but one just covers you nicer.
I this case, I would say Mac's Paint Pot is worth the extra $15.
Go out and purchase it, and feel the difference.
Retail price $27 Mac's Paint Pot
Retail price $7 Bh Cosmetics
