My review:

Why should you buy Lotus Herbals Botanical Compact?

• Has SPF-15
• This is one of the most beautiful and most thoughtfully designed compact I have so far come across. 1) It has a huge good quality mirror- I can do my complete makeup with this mirror. 2) The compact powder has a transparent plastic cover- this keeps the powder protected. 3) There is a separate section for sponge and powder. 4) A press button to open the compact so at no time you have to worry about powder-mess in your bag. Commendable!
• The powder is silky. No chalkiness.
• No strong perfumes. The fragrance is very light and pleasant.
• Comes with a good quality sponge.
• Excellent setting and blotting powder.
• Has a perrty lotus flower engraved on the powder. lol!!

I am using the Natural Beige almost every day these days and I have not faced any issues with it yet. No break outs, no pore clogging. Although I don’t have huge pores but i end up facing problems with powders that accentuate my tiny pores as well. This one doesn’t. These days I am taking break from the liquid foundation so I just dab a little concealer and set my face with this powder. And it completes my base routine.

I even showed it a makeup artist and she was impressed. Gifting one of these to her.

Why should you NOT buy Lotus Herbals Botanical Compact?

I think more shade selection should be considered. I personally feel that this is one product that could rule the purses of Indian women but with only three shades to select from, a lot of women would choose other brand over this.
