My first Laura Geller Balance & Brighten purchase - is this 'normal'???

[JR's Ego]

Hope you are all great :mysmilie_59:

A good 6 months back I purchased from QVC, my first Balance & Brighten in porcelain, 9g
Then, as time has passed with daily usage, it have discovered this 'grid' appearing in the centre of the pan. Now this grid is like a solid brick, maybe a base 'stone'

The first thought I had - if this product is 9g, a good 30% of this weight would be the weight of this grid. So the consumer is not actually buying 9g of face powder... possibly 9g combined of a bit of powder and a bit of grid.. The grid is as solid as a rock. I think this true weight of product could be wrong

Does anyone else see this grid in their used B&Bs?? Maybe mine has a fault?

B&B is baked onto a terracotta tile, so what you see should be that.

I'm a B&B user, but have not yet gotten anywhere near the tile yet. I am sure other users will have a better idea to tell you.

I would hope that if the product states 9g that it is the actual product on the tile not the product and the tile that make that weight.

I hope so also!

Yes the compact has the tile at the bottom. Interesting point you raise about the weight. I would hope that there is 9g of powder!

I just weighed two compacts, one of which is well used, up to half, and one is at least 2/3 down, perhaps more. They were 56 vs 53g. So I reckon the 9g is the product weight.
