Performance
I mainly purchased the Satin Sugar to use it as a dry shampoo in between washing my hair. It worked wonderfully. It freshened my hair and removes excess oil without dulling my hair one bit. I also loved that my hair smelled fresh after use. The scent lingered in my hair until I washed it the next day. I didn't feel the need to wash my hair after use, as there was no residue left behind on my scalp and no powdery feel when I touched my hair.
When used on my skin, the product really absorbed nicely and left behind a subtle scent that only lingered for about an hour. However, it does help remove unwanted odors left after working out, or even just a long day.
A factor that should be considered is that the product is very lightly scented, and is really only enough to freshen you up. If you are looking for a strongly scented powder, this is probably not for you. Also keep in mind this is meant to freshen up between showering or bathing - it's not meant to disguise heavy odors or to be poured on your body in mass quantity after you've been sweating profusely. If you are still damp (from sweat or...anything else) dry off or wait to use the powder until you are completely dry as it will clump when it's wet.

Packaging
Satin Sugar comes in a small (0.50 gram / 1.7 ounce) shaker canister. The lid is sealed and the circular plastic beneath the shakers will need to be popped out. The front features the Cake Beauty logo in light pink and the entire jar is a light brown or pale yellow depending on the hue you chose. It says "Satin Sugar hair and body powder" in English and French. The bottom front says "dry shampoo" in English and French. The side of the label says "Indulge" and on the opposite side it says "approved by beauty junkies". The back label has the instructions for use on hair and body. The bottom shows the ingredients and has their website URL ([link|http://www.cakebeauty.com]).
This shaker hasn't leaked on me in my gym bag or purse yet but just in case I keep it in a small ziplock bag. This is simply a beauty product so the packaging is very cute and discreet. It would make a sweet gift for any beauty gurus or people that frequent the gym.

Could this work like a bronzing powder for lighter skin tones?

Quote: Could this work like a bronzing powder for lighter skin tones?This powder really dissolves once applied to the skin. I have really fair skin and I got the darker hue (I have dark hair) and it didn't tint my skin at all like a bronzer would. So, no, I don't think this could work like a bronzer. Sorry!

Why would you want to use this and not a bronzer--less expensive and more effective!

Thanks for the review, this explains it to me. I was wondering what you would possibly do with "hair" powder!
No prob! I love it.

Thanks for the review! Think this shade would work for light red hair?
The scent sounds great. Thanks for the review!
Seems like it would be better than using baby powder for sure. Thanks for this review!
Very cool! Thanks for your thoughts!
The review has swung my thoughts. Yummy.
nice review, thanks
In fairness, 1.7 oz for something this light is still a decent amount of product (although it's not as much as I think the price calls for, as I have this myself)
