There is little more pleasing than a giant version of something small, or a mini-version of something rather larger. When New CiD sent me a taster of their mini-versions of their really rather superb face powders last week, I was utterly delighted. I'm a big fan of New CiD powders, I think they're hugely underrated for blushes, and it must be said that their i-Glow in Coral Crush is probably my favourite blusher ever - certainly it's the only one I've hit pan on twice!
They sent me i-Glows (which work as blushes or highlighters, or in the case of Coral Crush, both) in Sirocco and Ice Pop and an i-Bronze in Rio, which, if you've ever read this post, you'll know I own full-sizes in these already:
Coupled with their dinky powder brush, these are an ideal stocking filler, and a perfect addition to any makeup bag. I'll be carrying Ice Pop around with me for blush emergencies from now on!
So, how do they measure up to the full-size versions? Full size i-Glows and i-Bronzes are 8gms of product, and the mini-size contain 1.8g, so just less than a quarter size. That said, these powders last and last and last though, in daily use, 1.8gms would probably last you at least 6 months, if the two year lasting power of a full-size powder is anything to measure by ...
They're just as pretty and as pigmented as the full-size powders, and cost £14 each, as opposed to the £25 for a full-size one. The brush, also a handy makeup bag size also costs £14. Now, I'm just off to pick up a mini Coral Crush, and I'm all set ...
You can find New CiD makeup at their website, or at Look Fantastic.

Oooh they look fab. I love mini powders as I'm always traveling for work at the minute.
ReplyDeleteI bought Ice Pop and Coral Crush full sizes off of Feelunique during the summer and then the minis of Sirocco and Coral Crush that came in a set with that brush off of Home Shopping. I find the minis are very small, cute but very tiny compared to the full sized. That said I bought them for the very reason that they were so tiny, easy to carry around. Caroline Hirons and your blog post pushed me over the edge in purchasing the full sizes.
