I was getting low on my Bare Escentuals mineral foundation and decided to try the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear. The price was right and I was game.

From the moment I first applied it I knew that it wasn't quite as light as the Bare Escentuals. The Mineral Wear seemed to just lay on top of my skin. I thought that maybe as I wore it the make-up would start to blend in with the oils in my skin. It didn't.

I decided to give it a second chance just in case I had a "fluke" bad experience. The next time I went to use it I noticed a musty scent. The brush had somehow acquired an old, rancid smell. I tried washing it out but the smell remained. I tried using a different brush but the make-up behaved the same way. Needless to say, I haven't used it since.

I realize that I may be in the minority. Read other reviews about this product here:
