I mix my bare minerals base make up and mineral veil together in it you do have to keep it in it carrying pouch if you expect it to be contained and then it is a bit bulky. The brush is not substantiall. I prefer to load the retractable brush and sprinkle a bit in the cap and carry tha instead and a few blotting papers. Fortunately, my bare minerals hold up so well I rarely need touch ups. June 2, 2008, 8:14 am

    A Bit of a Disappointment

    by Medic586 (61 reviews)
    I've had this compact for a few years now, and rarely use it. I bought it thinking it would be perfect for carrying in my purse, but as others have mentioned, the brush isn't the greatest for application and the powders (I use Mineral Veil in mine) aren't very well contained. Things can get a bit messy every time you open... April 21, 2008, 5:11 am I've had this compact for a few years now, and rarely use it. I bought it thinking it would be perfect for carrying in my purse, but as others have mentioned, the brush isn't the greatest for application and the powders (I use Mineral Veil in mine) aren't very well contained. Things can get a bit messy every time you open it up. If it came with a better brush and somehow better contained the powder, it would be perfect! April 21, 2008, 5:11 am

    I love the product but

    by iamvghjd (12 reviews)
    this one was junk. The brushes are outstanding and the make-up is awesome. This little compact doesn't seal so your powder ends up all over everything and eventually it will make it to your face. You'd do better carrying a retractable brush a pot with the minerals than this thing. February 10, 2008, 8:24 am

    I like The Compact But Dislike The Brush That Comes Inside It

    by Reservechic (258 reviews)
    The compact is really cute and a pleasure to pull out. However, I don't care for the brush that comes inside of the compact. As, it simply doesn't measure up to any of the other brushes in the Bare Escentuals line at all. November 23, 2007, 10:48 pm

    another necessity

    by cb1178 (3 reviews)
    This is a must have for Bare Minerals fans. I blended my foundation with a little bit of soft focus warmth to make the perfect color to freshen up with during the day. the mirror makes this very handy. Also easy to refill and very cute!! February 27, 2008, 5:23 pm

    Cute product, but....

    by Monnrella (19 reviews)
    Very nice product, but I agree with the other girls--the brush isn't fabulous. I got it with my starter set, and I do like it. However, the Mineral Veil does go everywhere when you open it up. Still, a cute idea for carrying your powder with you. February 23, 2008, 7:36 pm

    Perfect for touch-up's!

    by DivaMom (5 reviews)
    I love this product...it has everything, from the mirror, to the great application brush and refillable compact. I don't leave home without it. December 30, 2007, 3:49 pm

    Like this compact

    by abutterflykiss (24 reviews)
    I like this compact in the fact that it does have the door that keeps your loose powder from going everywhere on top of the sifter and then getting everywhere when you need to use it. I honestly realised that it is much easier to just use pressed powder in my pocket book cause it's a lot less messy and use your loose powder...

I honestly realised that it is much easier to just use pressed powder in my pocket book cause it's a lot less messy and use your loose powder at home when applying your makeup December 22, 2008, 10:28 pm

    Great idea but pops open

    by blondontherocks (4 reviews)
    I'm not sure if I just got one that is defective, but the lid pops open on mine if it bumps against anything. The inner plastic lid holding the brush has kept away any messy spills, but the top is difficult to keep closed. Great idea. August 17, 2008, 8:15 am
