Hello Beauties , it's been such a long while, yes i know. I have been up to lots of things, the store, work and family. I've been called back to book and so i promise I'm going to do my best and post as frequent as possible.

I love it when i find dupe of high end products which are as quality as the original.  I recently ordered some loose powders from LA Colors and guess what  I realized that one of the shades looked exactly like the famous Ben Nye Banana powder. I shared that info our store's IG page.

LA Colors Loose Powder, Light and Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder

Today we comparing the LA Colors Loose Powder in Light to the Ben Nye Banana Powder . Both are finely milled loose powder , smooth and flawless application and suitable for all skin types. They are mostly used for highlighting purposes.

Pricing

The Ben Nye Banana Powder retails for GH120.00 for 1.5oz . That's pricey .

On the other hand, the LA Colors retails for GH35.00 for 0.70oz which is so cool . Meaning that with the price of the Banana powder ,You can actually afford to buy 3 of the LA Colors Powder. This is a major win for LA Colors.

Both Powders comes with sifters but the LA Colors gets more messy

 if care in not taken when in use.

Application Quality

When you swatch both product, they are pretty identical. They feel the same in terms of texture. The powders are so similar in color.

What Is It ?

 Apart from those amazing Hi-Def foundations from Graftobian I purchased for my pro kit, i was also introduced to their pressed powder foundations. Powder being it pressed or loose is a makeup must-have; it sets foundation; polishes looks and adds softness to the skin.

Graftobian HD pro powders are versatile. They're great for TV, film and bridal work. They're also very great for men makeup. They can be applied dry for a sheer coverage and wet for a full coverage.
