mua undress your skin highlighting powder review

I was unsure weather or not to buy the MUA undress your skin highlighting powder as I'm more of a matte face girl, but I've had my eye on the MAC mineralize skin finish in soft and gentle for ages and I heard they had similar results and for £3 (well, it was on sale for £2!) it wasn't really much of a loss if I didn't like it.
