No7 Perfect Light Pressed Powder 10g - 2 Fair

This is a great product, but it makes me shudder each time I have to purchase a whole new compact, complete with mirror, just to throw the whole thing away every 8 weeks or so. If it were available as a refill it would have earned 5 stars.

I used to buy No. 7 pressed powder in fair bloom. The new one does not have the choice of colours and I found fair too light. The powder crumbled after just a few uses and is certainly not lasting as long as my previous pressed powder. Will have to look for alternatives to No. 7 for this.

Love the powder but often use cheaaper alternatives as can't justify throwing the compact and mirror away each time i run out.

So first off, I work for boots, but I am a total make-up junkie and have tested MANY loose and pressed powders, from all different price ranges and brands, I would list but we’d be here all day! I first started wearing this powder when I was 15 and am now in my mid-twenties, I’m yet to find something I love as much. As an oily, spot prone teen, it kept me matte, and now as a few crinkles are appearing around my under eyes and smile lines it’s keeping me crease free. Nothing else simply does the job like this. Also the mirror is nice and large in the compact so it always wins when I’m travelling (although I would LOVE it to be refillable). I should mention that I am very fair and have always found translucent to be just that, never leaves patches and works with every foundation I’ve ever paired it with. I cannot recommend it enough!

Always leaves me looking more youthful. Would be good if Boots did a refill. It would be cheaper on the purse and less compact cases thrown away!

I always bought the Crème Touch powder refill in Fair Bloom and was horrified that I could no longer buy any refill. I bought the powder anyway, since I had run out, but was even more disgusted when I got home and compared the products, finding that this non-refillable compact only has half the amount of powder by weight as the old refills. What a backwards step by Boots for the environment and for offering value for money (not) for the customer! Will be looking for an alternative product.

Like the powder and have used it for a while. Hate that there's no refill. I'm now going to look for an alternative as this amount of waste is indefensible. Boots you need to sort this out.

This powder is an absolute dream. It glides on effortlessly, and my skin feels silky smooth for hours. My favorite powder ever!

Is there no guide to what shade matches the various shades of foundation to give a little help to choosing one as not able to pop to shop.

I dont like this "new and improved" version of the No 7 Pressed Powder. You now only get 10g of powder - the original had 20g. You now pay for a mirror - which most people do not want. Can the original pressed powder, 20g product (no mirror) be re-introduced? Based on the majority of other reviews, it seems the new product is not "improved".
