First off, though: in need of some frivolous yet inexpensive vintage-style pampering, I bought myself my first ever pot of dusting powder from The Witches' Spindle on Etsy. (The scents are organized alphabetically, so have a browse through and see what you fancy). I bought 'Inspire' -Rose and Sandalwood - and it didn't disappoint! It leaves a delicate frangrance and lovely silky-smooth feeling; plus, I feel ever so glamorous dusting myself with a big fluffy powder puff every morning- which is included with the pots! I'm even going to buy a spare one to apply my face powder with!
Even though dusting powder - or its somewhat less glamorous incarnation, talcum powder - seems to have a bit of a reputation as something your granny uses, I think it's a fabulous way to add subtle scent, and feel silky soft! And who doesn't want to be smooth, soft and fragrant?!
I can't wait to try more scents- let me know if you do! (Lilac and Lavender and Jasmine, Rose and Patchouli are next on my list!)
Ta-ra!
Can you explain exactly what you do with this? I'm clueless!

Sure! It's just scented powder that you apply to your body, either with a big fluffy brush or a puff like the one pictured. As far as I know, it's purely for the scent and the silky feeling it leaves your skin with. I don't think it's actually moisturising, but it does make your skin feel soft and smooth, if that makes sense. I've heard that it also makes your clothes slide on and off easier (oo-er!). Basically, it's kind of frivolous, but it's rather nice, at least I think so, anyway! I really like how it adds a hint of perfume. It would be great for layering scents if you had a similar-smelling perfume, body lotion, shower gel, etc.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you try any! X
