Review: Lush Emotional Brilliance Powder

I know that I did a Lush review last week so sorry for the repetition but I thought that this product would be a good one to review because as far as i know, it is not very well known.
Anyway, so this powder is made to go with the Lush colour supplements (which i have never tried) but I find it works really well with any concealer/foundation. It is basically what it says on the lid - a translucent face powder. I have quite oily skin but this powder never causes any breakouts, nor is it drying on the skin. When you apply it, it makes the product literally disappear into the skin and look completely natural. I have been using this for a few months now but I have also used multiple other powders which are meant to do the same job but have always gone back to the emotional brilliance powder as I am yet to find a product which does a better job.
It does have its downsides though, it is hard to apply. I am a very clumsy person which makes the application of this powder even harder. As it is loose powder and in a very small and deep circular container rather than larger and less deep, it is quite hard to put the brush in to get the powder but then when it is on the brush, it is then very difficult to tap the excess off (there is usually a LOT of excess on the brush). Most days I end up with a huge cloud of powder all over my dressing table.
Another issue is the price. It is sold at £12 for an 8g container (2014) which i think is slightly overpriced for what it is but I suppose it is Lush so it must be all natural good quality etc. It does last ages though.

Hope you had a lovely holiday <3
