Hey Ladies & Gents!
Here the link to where you can purchase this foundation:
http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.A216501.desc.tarte-Amazonian-Clay-FullCoverage-Foundation-SPF15-wBrush.cm_scid.zone
I have it in the shade Medium and I'm about an NC25-30 in MAC foundations.
REVIEW:
Let me just say, I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION! Great coverage, feels light, stays on all day, and just amazing! When you purchase this foundation, it comes with a brush that is seriously MADE for this foundation. The only downside to the brush is that it soaks up a lot of product, but you get an AMAZING finish with the brush! The price & shipping wait is well worth it! If you've watched my review on this, I also mention that it comes with .7 MORE foundation than a normal foundation would. Normal foundations come with 1 fl. oz. of foundation, where as this one comes with 1.7 fl. oz.! I have oily, acne-prone & sensitive skin. This foundation hasn't broken me out yet and I've been using it for almost 3 months! I love it so much, I will definitely repurchase! It lasts all day on me! Although it states to be full coverage, it's about medium for me. However, that doesn't bother me much as I like more light-medium coverage. Interesting, isn't it? I have a lot of hyperpigmentation! I have lots of past acne marks and even some scars. I still have existing acne, but this foundation hasn't irritated them at all. Bottom line: I love it & will continue to repurchase again and again! (good thing is, I won't have to repurchase that much considering how much foundation you get!)
=)
Hope you enjoyed & hope this helps!
Love,
Nalani

Bare Minerals & Everyday Minerals Review & Comparison
Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to update and post this blog!
Here's the link to the BM Matte Foundation:
http://www.bareescentuals.com/Large-Matte-Spf-15-Foundation---Medium-Beige/mastermatte,default,pd.html?start=2&cgid=BM_SUB_FOUNDATION
Here's the link to the BM Original Foundation:
http://www.bareescentuals.com/bareMinerals-SPF-15-Foundation/MasterSPF15Found,default,pd.html?start=3&cgid=BM_SUB_FOUNDATION
Here's the link to the EDM Foundation:
http://www.everydayminerals.com/store/base.html
In the BM, I am in the shade Light which is a little bit too orange but great if you have NC30 skin. In the EDM, I am or was you can say, in the shade Light Medium. It is not too peachy for my skin. I am thinking about trying it again (in a different shade, obviously).
The REVIEW:
The BM has light-medium coverage. You can definitely build it up to full and it'll still feel light on your skin. However, it looks cakey which I think is weird how it works like that. It doesn't break me out, never has and I have been using it for more than a year almost religiously. I do try out other foundations out here and there but always come back to the BM. Don't know why, I just always come back to it. I guess you can say it's my HG foundation, however not one with the best coverage for me. I have a lot of hyperpigmenation on my face from past acne, so it's seriously a hassle to find a foundation that works. I also find that sometimes it can look really patchy like I didn't blend it in well, when in all honesty, I have blended for like 10 minutes. People say that mineral foundation is supposed to be easier and faster to apply, however for me and my skin, it takes me longer than liquid foundation. It doesn't take as much work, it just takes time.
The EDM has light-full coverage, however like I said in my review it feels heavy on the skin and can sometimes look cakey. There are many, many shade options as well as different finishes, so anyone can wear this foundation. The feel of it, however strayed me away from this foundation (as well as the color, but there are many shades so it doesn't really hold me back). I really don't have much to say about this foundation only because I haven't worn it in a while. When and if I do, I'll post up my updated review on here. (:
I hope this helped anyone of you looking for a mineral powder foundation! I'll post pictures of myself wearing each foundation asap!!! Please let us know if you have any questions about anything that we've reviewed so far. Thanks for reading!!!
Love,
Nalani

Mini MAC Haul Swatches!
Sorry for posting up these so late! Busy busy week! But here they are!
Soft & Gentle (right) & Warm Soul Mineralize Blush (left)
The blush didnt swatch all that well, so hopefully you can
still tell color and all.
Glitter & Ice Lipstick in What Joy (top) & Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Absolutely It
They look very similar but the lip pencil has a deeper berry tone to it.
I hope these swatches on our blogs are helpful! Let us know if we should do anything different!
