I have been using this Pressed Powder AA from Media for quite some time (5 months or so?) but somehow forgot to review it as it often happens considering the amount of product I have/buy. =X
As usual this comes in a simple dark blue compact. Considering that for very expensive brands like Lunasol you have to buy the case to put the powder refill in the Media case is actually pretty nice and it´s anyway value for money as the powder with case retails for 1000 Yen in Japan. You can buy refills for this product later on which will be a few 100 Yen cheaper than the set with the case!
As I always feel that Kanebo Media and Shiseido Integrate Gracy are direct competitors and very much alike in many aspects I want to remind you of this review I wrote some time ago. Very similar product!
Anyway, the Pressed Powder AA comes in 3 colors (Pink, Lucent and Natural) of which I chose Pink.
Indeed this is a super pale pinkish white which definitely gives a whitening/brightening effect which could look ashy on more tan skin-tones so those skin-tones might prefer to check out the Lucent or Natural versions.
The powder nicely evens out my skin so it´s perfect to set foundation with this.
If I overapply it might look a bit cakey so a light hand is needed when putting this on.
The powder lasts well on me and gives a very lightly satiny matte but not shimmery or glittery finish.
This is not scented and doesn´t cause any irritations (and I used it regularly over the past months). It also doesn´t dry out my skin.
Overall a good product so I can recommend this!

this product brought back such a good momory. I used to love Kanebo Media products a lot. It's one of the few Japanese brands speak my language. I have faith in most of its products. And I am sure your positive experience just proved so.
I really want to try this now!! However, it takes such a long time for me to finish powders!

Thanks for the review, this looks interesting to me, I have a few powders I need to finish :) I wonder how it goes with oil control :)
Thank you for the review !
Kanebo is my favourite make up brand

I enjoy following your blog !
I can't wait to try this - do you only use it to set foundation or can it be used on its own in your opinion?
