I applied this at night after my toner and I really liked how easy it was to use.  It went on easily and felt good on.  I did notice smaller pore size the next morning which was amazing to me and less oil throughout the day if I used this the night before.  I did quit using this the same time I quit using the blemish therapy product (see review) due to the awful breakouts.  I don't think this product caused the breakouts but my face was such a mess and now that I'm healing I don't want to risk trying this again.  I can definitely see how people are raving about this product.  It was the easiest foolproof product I've ever applied to my face.  It cut my nighttime routine in half.

Ingredients:  mica, corn starch modified, illite, barium sulfate, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), zinc stearate, silica, soil mineral concentrate, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, phyllanthus emblic fruit extract, retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), ectoin, honey bush extract, wheat extract, rosemary extract, white tea extract, roobios extract

I really liked the idea of this product...use the little brush and apply the powder to your blemish.  That part worked out fine.  So the problem came up about a week after I started using it.  When it arrived I read the packaging as I always do and checked the ingredients carefully.  There was one ingredient listed "Algae Extract" that I was worried about.  I had used a product with this ingredient about 4 years ago and my skin brokeout horribly in the biggest whiteheads I'd ever had but I was never sure that algae extract was the culprit.  Well, I knew it was the culprit a week after I started using this.  Every area I had applied this on my face was now covered in deep, painful zits.  Big zits, not little ones.  It took a trip to the face lady for a peel and about a week and a half to start looking better.  I now know algae extract and my skin do not mix well.  It just seemed so strange to me that a product called Blemish Therapy would include an ingredient with a comedogenic rating of 5 which is the worst rating an ingredient can get.

Ingredients:  sulfur 3.0%, zinc stearate, illite, barium sulfate, silica, willow bark extract, tapioca starch, soil mineral concentrate, kaolin, cyclodextrin, tea tree leaf extract, dimethicone/vinyl cimethicone crosspolymer, betaine, salicylate, corn starch modified, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, tea tree leaf oil, emblica officinalis fruit extract, sophora angustifolia extract, algae extract, retinol, dextrin, hydrozypropyl cyclodextrin, maltodextrin, farnesol, niacinamide, magnesium myristate, calcium sodium phosphosilicate, mica, bismuth oxychloride, titanium dioxide

So I'm very picky about mascara!!  I want my macara to make my lashes longer (as in really really long!) and I hate when it clumps or flakes.  Flakes are not tolerable!!  I just tried for the last week the new mascara from bareMinerals and I really like it.  I usually know during the first application if I like a mascara or not and this one was no different.  As I was applying it I knew it was a winner.  I think it's two things...first the brush is like no other.  It's almost like a comb.  Secondly the formula makes my lashes extremely long but there's absolutely no clumping.  With other mascaras my lashes felt brittle or hard to the touch but with this mascara they feel conditioned and soft.
