    I really love this foundation. Its far superior to alot of the other mineral foundations I have tried (L'oreal, Maybelline, Revlon, Collection 2000, Max Factor, Bare Essentuals, Lily Lolo). In fact...

    I bought this a few days ago and I absolutely love it. It's a very very fine powder in a regular round compact (no mirror though) and it comes with a tiny kabuki brush. The powder gives me a lot...

    This did not give me nearly enough coverage, wasn't really "buildable" even when applying it with my kabuki brush. It did make my skin feel really soft, though, so I will try it as a face powder...

    I love this stuff! Im not really into wearing anything heavy on my face and usually use tinted moisturizers as their sheer, so this is great for me. It's quite a natural, sheer finish on me but it...

    I hate when things that I love betray me, hence why I am writing this review. I bought this while I was looking for a pressed powder, besides CG, to carry along with me whenever I left the house....

    Edit: Will not repurchase, after having it a month or so it began to smell really bad. I thought maybe it was my brush but I get the same results after a good washing. None of my other mineral...

    I absolutely LOVE this foundation!! I've never found anything that made my skin absolutely flawless, but this is the one! I use it differently then I think others do. Instead of putting this...

    Definitely my HG powder! I don't use the instantly useless kabuki brush included, so I use a Lancome brush I got in a bonus set instead. This mattifies but also helps to cover what the concealer...

    Not bad for n.y.c. which is not my usual choice of makeup. The foundation is pretty good but the brush is terrible. smallest thing that can't give coverage. The price is so-so since the compact...

    UPDATE 3/4/2008: This broke my heart, really it did. IT BROKE ME OUT! Unacceptable despite all the great qualities about it. I disagree with the reviewer before me about the foundation....

    The "Kabuki" brush is a total joke (But thats to be expected). If you use the "kabuki" brush, you will end up with little stray hairs all over your face, and inside the compact. Also the...
