I really like this compact. I had 2 loose powder samples from tarte that I really like but never seemed to use anymore because it gets all over the place even in my drawer when it hasn't even been...

I really like this and for a long time i never had any problems with it! But oneday the plastic contanier that you use to hold the loose powder in just got stuck. So now i cant open it to refill it...

I was not impressed with this product. It was messy, especially for someone who wears a lot of black! The brush is horrible. It's easier for me just to carry a pot and a handy buki brush in a...

This was a nice idea, but soooo messy! I find it easier to take out a mini pot of foundation and a brush! So I am only giving it a 3 because of the mess!

I don't mind the small size of the flat brush that comes in this compact, as I only ever need to swipe a small amount of Mineral Veil on during the day. The only thing I don't like is that the...

This came with my BE starter kit. I don't think I would buy this if I could do it again. Basically, I put Mineral Veil on the bottom tray, then you close the lid (with holes in it for the MV to...

I actually like the halfmoon brush for touch-ups. I actually don't use the BE line and use EM instead and put my mixture in there. I mix a little foundation and a little finishing dust to zap oil...

There has got to be a better way! First, I'm always afraid that when I open it, the compact will fly out of my hands and spill. You open the mirror part first and then pull on a tiny tab on the...

I like the idea of taking loose powder on the go for my oily face. The size is ok to fit in most regular size purse, but I didn't use the zipper case though. Brush is just OK, not much different...

I guess I'm one of the few that loves this thing! I don't care an itty bitty purse, so the size doesn't bother me that much. Yes, the brush sucks, I will agree with that. But it's nice to be able...

Since I use a mix of foundation, it was great to be able to put what *I* want into the compact. To be honest, I've barely had to use it for touch-ups (which is a testament to the longevity and...

I hate this thing. By the time I got around to using it, after carrying it around for a few days, all of the foundation had migrated from under the sifter and started leaking everywhere. I didn't...

I think if you're getting a big mess out of this product, you're not closing it properly. It does it's job of holding makeup and keeping it separate from the brush and mirror. The only thing I...

God, do I feel like a sucker. I felt like I <i>HAD TO HAVE THIS </i>to do touch-ups with my mineral makeup. I'm just ashamed, especially because $25 is a lot to plunk down for something this...

Great carry-along compact! But, it comes with a bad brush, unfortunately!

The compact is difficult to use and the brush is not good at all. Every time I close the lid, a puff of mineral veil smoke will come out. I am better off bringing the flawless application brush...

I agree, this compact tends to spill sometimes, however, I like it. It's very convenient if you're an on-the-go type of person. Just make sure you store it in the black case that comes with it to...
