I was so incredibly disappointed by this product. I wanted to love it, I really did, because it looked amazing!! However, this product contains Bismuth Oxychloride, which irritated by skin so bad....

I am so disappointed in this Philosophy product. $35 was pretty pricey, but I thought I'd try it since it's from Philosophy. What a bummer. No coverage and the foam spongey thing sucks. I often...

I thought I was going to love this stuff. I've used Bare Minerals, and I thought this would be similar but with easier application. It is true, it goes on easily if you only want a very sheer layer...

I was really disappointed. It did not provide any coverage on my skin and it dried out my t-zone. I think I will stick with Philosophy's yummy scents instead!

I really wanted to like this from all the good reviews I've heard but the coverage was poor and didn't last long at all. They don't have many colors and the "natural" looked yellowish on me. I...

This is just ok. I have the bronze. It's a little dark, but if I have a little color, it's cool. It doesn't cover super well, but that's actually what I do like about it. It's not heavy. I...

My skin is usually fine, so I hate the idea of wearing foundation. But yes, when I really need it for a terrible skin episode, I'm gonna wear it. I thought this would be great, as it's mineral...

This is just a ho-hum product for me. I does provide nice coverage, but for the price I just can't justify it.

I like the idea of it, I like the packaging, I like that it doesn't break me out. But it's not light/pale enough for my skin, it looks funky. I also don't love the mica on my oily skin, but I...
