    Okay so I got this at ulta for a good price as a mini set for about $25 compared to the $60 kit. At first I liked it because it gave a smooth finish to my skin but it was because I had to apply A...

    A waste of money for me. It didn't provide enough coverage . To increase coverage I'd put on some more and that just made my skin look dry and cakey. zero!

    I enjoyed using the original formula when I bought my starter kit, then when the matte version came out and I tried it I loved it so much more. If you're going to use this foundation I suggest you...

    A big no. Again, lots of hype and publicity, but it doesn't stand up under the scrutiny of everyday use. My skin's a little sensitive, but not overtly, but after I started using this, it itched...

    I have been using bare minerals for about 4 years now, it works well, but not like all the adverts say. It provides decent coverage, but you definitely cannot wear it to sleep, and whenever i touch...

    Not bad, not great. The range of shades can't be beat: it's hard not to find one that's close enough, if not a perfect match. The problem with the regular formulation is that it's too shimmery...

    Expensive and no longer the best. The veil is a nice touch up but a pot lasted me less than a month so won't be repurchasing.
