very light
-12.22.11
Quick Take: sheer coverage
this is not a dense powder formula its good for a simple day out but not anything major. its a bit messy when you open up the container and even when i shake my brush some still lands on my shirt. but this color is perfect for me and helps neutralize my skin when im feeling a little red or uneven.

Sephora Mineral Loose Powder Foundation
-12.13.11
Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing, gorgeous, natural-looking

This is the most flawless, natural looking make up I have ever used. I used it as a foundation, bronzer, concealer, and to touch up my skin if it was oily, BRING IT BACK!!!!!

I bought this in the lightest color while they still had my shade in stock. I only bought it because it was on sale for such a good price. I wanted to use it as a foundation but if it didn't work I could at least use it for a setting powder.
Does not work for me as a foundation. I have combo skin and some areas can get oily. Those oily areas were totally oily and shiny within an hour, and the non oily parts of my face were also oily. The makeup completely melted off within 2 hours and I just had to wash my face.
As a setting powder, this is not mattefying. It's neat how a powder can give a dewy look but I'm afraid the dewy look turns into an oil slick look within a few hours. This really didn't work out for me but it might be really good for someone with dry skin.

thick finish

the finish can be cakey and thick, you have to dust very lightly. T-zone is oily end of the day.

BEST ever!
-11.21.11
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, amazing coverage, long lasting
I am so disappointed they discontinued this foundation. I have searched years for a foundation that covered well and stayed put all day but did not look cakey, and this was it! I cant say enough wonderful things about this! I am very very sad it is gone and pray for a day that they bring it back!!!

LOVE
-11.10.11
I am in love with this product! I really hope they bring it back...I can't believe they discontinued it. I will have to salvage what I have left! This covers imperfections on my face with one brush stroke. People don't even know I'm wearing makeup--it's that natural...sigh..What to do now!

Get It While You Can
-11.09.11
If you can wear this shade, get it immediately, it's the only one left. Sephora has (unbelievably) decided to discontinue their loose mineral foundation! This was the best loose mineral powder on the market, and at the lowest price, too. The sales girl suggested I try Bare Escentuals' matte powder (it's glitter-free also), but $28 for 6 oz. is WAY too much. They've lost me as a customer, as I'll go back to Skin Rx Clinic or Sheer Miracle.

good for price
-10.28.11
Quick Take: good coverage, oily
I got this on sale so the price was great for the product, also it just happened to be the right color which I'm happy about. Now it is 'moisturizing' so this means i end up a bit greasier later than I would with a standard powder. But overall decent lasting power, a little bit more grainy and clumpy than bare minerals but a very affordable alternative. And it can be used lightly or built up as with any mineral wear, so plus points there!

-10.21.11
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, good value
I have never used loose powder foundation before, so I figured I would try this because of the price. This stuff is awesome, I was not disappointed! I got so many compliments once I started using this stuff! I figured it would be gone soon so I bought 3 more. I am so sad its gone!!!

I love it! It's just as good as the Bare Minerals stuff and cheaper. I regret that I didn't order 2 or 3 of them last time since it is now discontinued. :(

why discontinue a 5 star product?
-10.16.11
Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing
If you have a product with such high ratings why in the world would you discontinue it. I do not see you offering a replacement item, so I guess its back to buying Bare Minerals. too bad you have a lousy marketing company.

I love this powder! Although I am careful not to use too much because it will look caked on. I actually take it from the lid so I dont get too much. But yea overall a great powder!
