    I just wanted to say ive just purchased my first mineral brand makeup (Pur Minerals, bought off the shopping channel - $44.50 for 2 x foundations). I cannot believe the coverage i get, the flawless finish and the 30secs it takes to put my makeup on. I would recommend it to all my girlfriends, seriously i would. Its now my Dh whom takes the longest to get ready - makeup is done in 2 mins with mineral make up !!!!

    I use I.D bare minerals too. Lasts for ages - I think around 6 months and I use it pretty much every day.

    I find I have to use a creamy foundation in winter though because my skin gets a bit dry from using the powder.

    I have to tell you all about the mineral makeup I found. If you like sheercover you will love this!! lol, I sound like I sell the stuff.

    Anyways, I found it at a little stall in a shopping centre when in Newcastle but you order it online (just put dot com dot au after the name of it). It's called pure cover. Anyway, the person selling it said that other mineral make-up brands you can buy in shops don't have to say what is in it so it can have like 1 mineral and the rest bad stuff. Even sheer cover contains bismuth which is what they use now in makeup instead of talc since they discovered that was bad. But they have since discovered bismuth is even worse. Anyway, pure cover has exactly the same ingredients as sheer cover but is bismuth free. AND the best part you get twice as much for half the price!! Yes, I'm serious!! lol. I used to get sheer cover which was $40 for one thing and this is only $20 and I checked the package and there is twice as much in pure cover (I think 8g compared to 4g or something).
    I find that it gives me even better coverage than sheer cover and stays on a lot longer. And when you order it online it's only $6 for postage no matter how many you get.

    Anyway, just had to tell everyone because it's awesome!! lol

    Livinia is an awesome mineral make-up that also doesn't use bismuth and is 100% organic. It's like Mac (colurs and coverage) but it's mineral. I love it!!

    I have tried two different mineral makeup items from Priceline ... and i warn those older women that it does show up your wrinkles a heap more & if you have little tiny fair hairs as you can get as you age from hormones the mineral powder seems to make them look worse ... so i went back to using a liquid foundation
