    OVERALL

    This is the first loose powder mineral makeup that i've purchased. I noticed that it was a bit pricey for a drugstore product. I guess it came with a brush though, so I guess that's good. The problem with this product, as been iterated by other reviews is that the makeup looks kind of cakey on your face. How I make it look the best it can look is by exfoliating, and applying and ample amount of moisturizer. This seems to help with the flakey and cakey look.

    I find this product gives nice coverage and the brush I find is decent. I don't think I'll be repurchasing this though.

    PROS

    -Nice coverage
    -Comes with a decent brush

    CONS

    -Gives a cakey look
    -More expensive than other drugstore products i've seen

    Well, this one was a real bummer, in my opinion. I bought this months ago and used it for about 1-2 months consistently. I can't really say that the product itself was that bad, although it was a little dark (or orange-y) for my skin tone. The actual powder is okay - but the package? Horrible! That stupid little brush does nothing and I do mean nothing...unless you want to blotch little patches of circles on your face. I have no idea how you are supposed to use it to evenly apply the product all over your face. Needless to say I used my own powder brush, but even then the packaging makes it really hard to use without spilling everywhere. When you unscrew the lid, there's just these little holes and the powder sifts through them, but there's no way of controlling how much comes out and when you dip the brush in, well, it just makes a mess.
    The powder itself was kind of greasy I think, and it did nothing to help my oily skin. I thought the coverage was okay, but if you put too much on it can look very mask-like.

    I just bought this product today from Ulta -had a sale and been wanting to try a mineral foundation-. It was $8.99 in Michigan -just in case the prices vary in each state-.
    I like it so far, I wanted to try it out tonight; although I was already wearing my Clinque liquid base, I put it on ontop because I didn't feel like washing my face yet tonight. It covers a lot better than I expected it to. I had read reviews on it and a few people mentioned you need to use a little more to cover your face... but I didn't really notice that. It seemed to cover my whole face pretty well; and I have a lot of flaws to cover!

    I like that its easy to blend. I alwaysss have a problems with blending my foundation into my neck, and this stuff made it easy for me to do that now.

    It feels a little cakey and tight, of course this is the first powder foundation I've ever tried so I need to get used to it.

    Personally I think if you have a lot of acne and dry skin... this wouldn't be good for you. I have dry skin and it doesn't hide it, it makes it stand out like most foundations -liquid, mousse, or powder-.

    All in all I do like it. Hopefully it works out for me.

    So I've been using this stuff... it's been drying out my face and it looks cakey.
    Its decent coverage but its not like liquid foundation. Kinda disappointed in this.

    This stuff is awesome! I always look flawless when I put it on to go out. Lost my little brush for it. But It still looks great on and you can't feel it. That's the best part!

    this is a pretty good mineral foundation. it looks quite natural (as if i might not be wearing foundation at all!) and is very buildable. i didn't like the brush that came with it..so i just used my own powder brush for it. overall its worth buying.

    Just started using this product, having never tried a foundation before. Love that it is light on your skin & you don't get the "pancake makeup" look. Covers & evens out much better that the plain pressed powder I was using before. Not sure about price since it was a gift.

    I tried this a while ago. It covers ok, but sometimes looks cakey.
