Received my powder, it really is just a refill.
I left feedback on the site to let other customers know.
I just tried it real quick, it's very silky but also seems to cling onto dry spots and peach fuzz a little bit. Love how light the shade 00 is, perfect for NW/NC10 (it's pretty neutral).
I don't really see a difference between applying it with the spongy side vs. the fuzzy side of the applicator.

Forgot to add that it's very soft as well, it was crumbling a little on the sides of the pan and was a bit dusty, it's not pressed as hard as other powders (e.g. Chanel Puodre Compact). Feels comfortable on the skin. Going to have to order the case now, but I'll wait until they have some nice samples.

They act like there are no dark/deeper skinned people either! I would love to try their foundation but it is soooo not dark enough. At least their bronzers cover a wide spectrum of skintones.I haven't seen the 00 shade in the US yet.These cosmetic companies act like there are no pale-complected individuals here (I'm looking at you too, Guerlain).

I think it's strange that Armani has a wide range of shades in some foundations but they don't seem to have it in their newer formulas.

I couple the powder with luminous liquid and i really like the combo! On its own I have used it like maybe 2 or 3 times. But I havent noticed it clinging to dry spots (i do think thats because by skintype ismore normal to combination than dry).

I agree! They act as if everyone is either light-medium, medium or medium-dark. It frustrates me when I hear people on shopping channels like QVC say: "If you are unsure of what shade to get, just get "Medium." It works for everyone." Are you kidding me? They ignore the fair and deep/dark shades, not realizing that they are many times pushing customers who are in these ranges away from the line as whole, not just from the foundations.

It's 2015!! That's no longer acceptable! I just view it as those brands not wanting our money! One blogger I follow takes the approach that if a brand can't cater to her skintone in foundations etc., then she won't be patronizing them at all despite the fact that their colour cosmetics (lipsticks, blushes etc.) could still work. I'm not that hard core (yet) but I do give a lot of those brands the side-eye if I do have to buy something. I also hate when bloggers/vloggers etc say "Oh this is the perfect nude!" or, "This shade will be so flattering on everyone!" and I'm there asking myself, who is this "everyone" because clearly it's a limited percentage of the makeup buying/wearing population. That could just be me being bitter/petty but I feel if you have a platform and you put yourself out there on youtube or blogs etc. you have to (well should) appreciate that people from all the colour spectrums will hear/read your opinions. There is "no one size fits all" product! Not even toilet paper lol!

Good point! I get frustrated when QVC won't tell you whether the shades they do offer are warm or cool. I want to see swatches, not just a made-up model.

I have been saying this for years. I took it a step forward, if I'M the darkest shade, then I won't be patronizing you at all. Which reminds me I need to write Sephora a letter. I was in there trying on the MJ foundations and the sales rep kept saying how dark I was. I was taken aback b/c had she said that to someone who was dark, it would be a serious offense. I couldn't believe she kept referring to me being so dark, as if it were a problem. Not, it is the makeup companies fault.
I also totally agree with youtubbers saying this is the perfect shade and etc... no for you, say it is a great pink nude, beige nude, or whatever. that's another reason why I can't follow a lot of them.

I think that's really bad. Like seriously, with all the access people have to the internet and television these days, why is it shocking that some people (quite a lot of people actually) are really fair and some are really dark and deeper complected?

That's disgusting. I can't imagine how she thought that it was acceptable to keep commenting, like you were causing her a problem by not matching the existing foundation range.
To my mind, there is no excuse for any new foundation launch not to have a broad range of shades in this day and age. Do these people even have an internet connection? Have they not seen the diversity of skin tones even among dedicated beauty bloggers, let alone consumers? To me, a company that doesn't take into consideration the range of skin tones, as well as undertones (I know it's a source of frustration for very pale Asian women that every company assumes that the fairest skin always leans pink) doesn't get how beauty works.

So I played in the new eye tints at Nordies. To my surprise, I liked the Orangey one, no 14, the best. I left the yellow and purple one at the store.
