This post is long overdue really. I drafted it a week after I made the purchase and check where we are now…
I had heard of Black Opal from a friend a couple of times as she always sang praises of it (how amazing it looks on ethnic skin and most importantly, to cheapskates like myself how kind its price is towards one’s pockets)
So I waited for my Black Up liquid foundation to run out before setting off to find the closest Black Opal store. So after hopping in and out of a few Edgars Red Square departments, I finally found one at the Menlyn branch!!
The ladies there we super friendly and helped me with choosing something that suited both my skin and fast-paced lifestyle. All I did was explain my skin type (oily) and that I didn’t want a liquid foundations anymore (for daily use) as I don’t have enough time to apply both liquid and p0wder followed by the whole shibang (pencils, mascara, eyeshadows, lips etc). So she went to the tester drawer and came back with the Black Opal Perfecting Powder Makeup in Nutmeg.
Why I loved it enough to give Black Opal this free advertising 
- No spillage, this means I can drive while applying it (at the traffic stops of course ) without worrying that it could mess my clothes by accidentally spilling.
- Compact mirror – I don’t need another mirror while applying it
- Full coverage
- Not ashy – blends in perfectly with my skin tone
- VERY affordable – R145, 95
- Goes a long way – I bought this little baby back in March and it looks like I’ll only be refilling sometime in August (that makes 5 months)
- Matte finish - every oily-skinned person will understand why this is important.
- It’s two-in-one so no more two-step (liquid & powder)
Check the coverage (and kindly ignore my styling-in-progress hair.lol)
#sold. This post is perfectly timed for me. I will go find my nearest Edgars.
