    After much deliberation on this product, I think I've finally decided that I love it. At first, I had some trouble getting over the fact that it has a slight shimmer, since I have always liked my...

    I would give this 4.5 lippies. It is really a fantastic mineral makeup. VERY natural looking. I use a lot of it and it doesn't look cakey at all. I only wish that they would make it in a compact...

    My comments are based on testing this product in the store. I felt that there wasn't buildable coverage and when I reapplied it just looked powdery, nothing else. I also must say that the store I...

    I REALLY LIKE THIS STUFF. THE COVERAGE IS GREAT, AND I NEED ALOT, BUT IT'S STILL NATURAL LOOKING, NOTHING LIKE A MASK. THE OTHER BIG PLUS IS THAT YOU GET TWICE THE PRODUCT FOR LESS THAN MOST...

    I tried this one before I bought the Luxiva Ultra Powder foundation (see my other review) and I really wanted to like it. My skin is super oily and pale and this stuff didn't help either one. The...

    A truly excellent product. BE had terrible shades, settled into lines, made me oily, etc. Everyday Minerals didn't have a pale yellow-enough shade either. Merle Norman not only got the shade...

    Usually I agree with the reviews on here, but I have to say I'm really disappointed with this makeup. First of all, my complexion is very pale almost Nicole Kidman-like, so it's difficult finding a...
