    This powder was garbage. It made my skin terribly itchy and dry. For the love of God, DO NOT BUY THIS.

    I'm surprised by all the reviews saying this only lasts them a month or so! Mine will last 3-4 months, and I use it (almost) every day. (Probably about 5 times a week...) I like the coverage, I...

    I don't use the brushes the set gave me because it's so scratchy. The mineral foundation lightly cover, but it shows dry patches if you have any.
