Love this product
Date:March 25, 2013
"I, like many others, prefer the previous container. But the product is great. I have been using it for years! The only negative is that Avon can't seem to keep my shade in stock. I have to buy it in quantity when they finally have it so that I don't run out. Avon - look at your sales and forecast the correct quantities of the most favorite shades!"

Excellent Coverage
Date:March 16, 2013
"I absolutely love this stuff, but unfortunately I believe I have a skin sensitivity to something in it. It's made my face itch everytime I put it on, which is horrible because I love the lightweight yet maximum coverage it affords. Would recommend this to anyone that doesn't have crazy sensitive skin. It's a great product."

Five star product, but sorry packaging
Date:March 10, 2013
"I have used mineral makeup for about 10 years now and love this product from Avon. Does not aggravate my acne prone skin and cause more. Even though it is medium coverage, I still think it is too much coverage so I mix my color with Transparent Glow and it is perfect. Just wish they would go back to the original sifter packaging with the screw on lid. With this configuration, the top keeps wanting to come off and I am afraid it will end up in my lap every time I open it."

Good Mineral Powder
Date:February 21, 2013
"I love the product, it's the lid I don't. Always before the lid had little holes that the product was dispensed from. They worked great because you shake out as much powder as you wanted or as little powder that you wanted. Now it's automatically dispensed (which is a great feature) BUT you get too much dispensed and there's no where for the extra to go except in your brush and then on your face! It would have been great if they would of put a couple of holes in the lid to be able to shake excess off."

"I like the way this looks. It makes my face look and feel like a porcelain doll. I don't get that gunky look when I use this that I get with the liquid foundation. Highly recommend it."

Best Mineral Makeup Ever, But...
Date:February 20, 2013
"I hate the packaging. I've been using Avon's Smooth Minerals for years. I tried a couple of others and wasn't really happy with either one. Then my friend and Avon rep told me (years ago) that Avon makes a mineral makeup too. As usual, I could return it if I didn't like it. Well, I fell in love and have been using it ever since.
When the packaging was changed, I was really annoyed, because I mix two different shades. After reading some of the reviews from customers who have the same problem, I wanted to share my solution.
I remove the lids/covers from both shades. Then I take both and mix them in one of the old containers that I still had when the packaging changed. If you don't have an old container, any empty one with a lid will do. You have to dip your kabuki brush into the minerals, but you're going to tap it off anyway, since layering is the key to good coverage.
Hope this helps and keep using the best mineral makeup in the fashion world! Thanks, Avon."

Good Buy
Date:January 31, 2013
"I like this product because it covers without drying my already very dry skin. It doesn't crack or flake off. The coverage I'd call medium, not full. I have to use concealed stick undrrneath. That would be my only complaint, that I wish it were full coverage so I wouldn't need concealer. It also feels light and breathable compared to liquid foundations. I buy this probably most at a much more affordable price than competitors. Doesn't melt in heat."

"I swear by this for all times of the year. I despise the lines left by liquid foundation, or that it seems to melt off in the heat. This absorbs oil and stays nice all day. I pair with Magix Face Perfector and I am golden."

Winter Perfection
Date:January 23, 2013
"I have been using this soft powder foundation for a year now and I love it! It is so light weight and looks very natural. This is a great shade to have during the winter if you don't plan on tanning. It is a really light shade so make sure if you are not a very fair person to swipe a little bronzer on. Overall, this product is amazing!"

"Great powder, but you can hardly get it out of the packaging!
Seriously, it's good powder, but the packaging is terrible- the worse I have seen- you can hardly get any out to use."
