I have used bare minerals and then switched to Philosophy. I think the Philosophy coverage is longer lasting. Plus, the philosophy minerals come in a container and has a sponge to apply - so you just "swoop and swoop" on your face rather than use a brush to swirl and tap. I'm now trying Mary Kay's minerals and they seem to be very similar to the Philosophy coverage. But, I'm taking those minerals and putting them into my Philosophy container because it saves so much time in the morning! Hope that helps someone who is interested in trying a few good brands!

So I stopped using it, and tried it again when my skin got back to normal. Oh no, it happened again. Now I use Pink Quartz Minerals and am very happy with it. It's not shiny and I'm a bit older so don't want shiny. The only thing they don't have is mascara, so if anyone knows of a natural mascara let me know.

I think the Warmth is too orange, so I skip over that step. I also have Radiance and I'm not really sure what that's supposed to do, so I skip that one, too. It took me a week or so to get used to the application, but now I find it quick and easy. I’m also sold on Bare Minerals. I think the Warmth is too orange, so I skip over that step.

Mineral powder...or any loose powder bothers my contacts. I've used Lancome's Dual Finish for decades because of this issue. I'd like to use mineral powder - any tips for a contact wearer? HELP.

Also, I have eye circles like a raccoon and couldn't imagine how the powder covers that up. Anyone with tips or ideas?

I found Signature Minerals and they have a great sampling deal, so I tried it out and loved it. And I can still order cheap samples of new colors or products whenever I want. www.signatureminerals.com I know this is a great product, but a little pricey for me so I searched for something cheaper, but still high quality.

One thing that I've found is that I don't use as much as I thought (or they think you will--as far as the auto shipment if you buy it online. I bought my first kit in the store after getting a makeover. Anyway, I'm still on my first set, almost 4 months later. I need to reorder, and that does look like a great deal online!! I do agree with your mom, that it does seem to settle a bit around my eyes. Not that I have wrinkles either. I got some at Christmas.
