Choosing that one pressed powder to use almost everyday is a big dilemma for me because there's just so many pressed powder (whether that is a drugstore brand or not) to choose from, and I say that I am very much easily attracted with all the choices out there. So with that search for my pressed powder, I ended up buying one for the sake of trying it out. Trying out in a tester won't do justice in deciding on buying so I ended up buying one anyway.

I bought Myra E Vitasmooth Pressed Powder. One thing is that its affordable, it doesn't hurt to give it a try
It comes in a square (yes it's square unlike most pressed powders) and small compact with mirror
Coverage
Light. Unlike most pressed powders I bought that are hard and finely milled, this was lesser compact. It is soft to touch so much product goes on to the sponge in a swipe. Speaking of the sponge, I usually put on bb cream before applying this powder and my only problem is that the sponge blots out the bb cream on my face.

Overall it does a fair job transferring the product to my face when used alone. This is more of an oil control powder than a coverage powder. If you want a powder that covers blemishes and correct skin tone this might not be the best powder for you
Controls oil up to 6 hours in my observation. Doesn't clog pores and I did not break out while using this.
It smells great and I like it. It has mild, hypoallergenic formulation suitable for sensitive skin.
Pros
-Affordable
-Easily available in stores
-Suitable for most skin types
-Great for setting makeup as it has good oil control properties
-Has SPF
Cons
-Light coverage (does not cover blemishes, large pores, redness, etc.)
-Lesser compact. Easily cracks
