I have brought two of these Colour Adapt Foundations and am undecided on it.
The positives: If you have clear skin this would be ideal for you as it evens out the complexion well. I do not find it too oily which I have found with a lot of Max Factor foundations and the finish is quite matte, so you only need a little loose powder over the top to set it.
The negatives: As with the other reviews, I have found that it is not a very long lasting foundation, with it starting to wear off after a few hours, especially when on a night out, so I'd suggest taking a concealer stick with you: however it is much longer lasting with a powder on top :) I also find that it sets weird in any little line on your face, and also does not set nicely on healing acne...however I'm sure if you used a face primer this wouldn't be the case :)
Overall quite a good buy, however I'm still looking for my holy grail foundation :p

i have olive skin and wear the shade 70 (natural) which as true to the name, was a perfect match when first put on. However during the day the foundation would become more orange because it oxidizes during the day. It would be perfect if it stay the same after i applied i, but having oily skin, the foundation feels uncomfortably heavy to wear as the day goes on. I would recommend a matte foundation for anyone with oily skin. The No7 matte foundation has much better reviews and is around the same price

I have very pale skin naturally and find it very hard to find foundations to match my skin tone. I decided to try Max Factor Colour Adapt foundation in a Creamy Ivory shade as a friend had sworn by it. I paid approximately £10 which is around the usual amount i spend on a foundation which i aim to last me a few months. I was very impressed with this foundation when i first applied it. The colour of the skin on my made up face still matched my neck and i had no blotches or dodgy foundation lines. I usually put a lot of face powder on top of my foundation but when i have Colour Adapt on i dont need to as it has a nice finish by itself. The only downside is that after a few hours on a night out in a warm club i do need to reapply it but that would be the same with any foundation at the places i go to so i don't mind this too much.
Will definitely buy again :)

I've been using this for years (in Ivory or Almond, depending on the season) and although I try other foundations every once in a while - I always end up returning to Colour Adapt. It has good coverage, dries quickly but not too quickly and gives that finished look that does not need powder on top. On the downside - it does not have any oil-control so after a few hours I need to use translucent pressed powder on my T-zone.

I've worn this foundation on and off for 5 years. I still love it and whenever I come back to it I decide I'll never use another foundation (but I do because I'm a foundation junkie and I have dozens).
Anyway I have combination skin that gets very dry on cheeks but quite oily on my nose and chin. I really dislike a shiny finish too, but this is matte enough to wear over sunscreen and still not use powder. Makes your skin glowy and very even. I have horrible undereye darkness and a lot of redness on my cheeks. The redness is covered 100%, I use a little concealer on my eyes after I apply this, but really my undereyes are extremely dark so usually I'd say it will cover almost every eye pigmentation.
The best thing about this foundation though is that it really does adapt, unlike most that claim adapting properties and don't. I've used 3 different shades of it and they all looked natural on my nc15-20 skin. Most of the time I have an issue finding the right neural tone, almost everything is too pink or orange on my face, but this never leaves a dark or pink seem at the edges. It's lovely. If it were a bit more longer lasting (lasts around 3-4 hours on oilier parts) I'd give it 10 stars out of 5. Still it's a breeze to reapply, unlike most foundations it doesn't get flaky when reapplying, just go over it with some more product and fingers (I normally use a brush but this one does work very well with fingers because it's a bit moussy) and you will have a beautiful fresh face again.

Another one for the foundation graveyard. I have spent a lot of money over the years to find the HG base. After a long relationship with Prescriptives (now sadly demised) and Dr Hausaka, I decided to stick to No 7 tinted moisturiser (that was also subject to a formula and shade change, but weirdly not in the US so I stock up when I visit , so frustrating) but wanted something for days when I need more coverage. I like the bottle. Not luxurious but a sturdy plastic with pump dispenser. Has a see through panel at the side so you can see when it is nearing empty. Get a decent amount of product. Found the texture a little dry. I only used a half pump and it gave very good coverage, if a little flat looking. If it was the right foundation for me it would last a long time. However shade was too light even though it was mid spectrum (blushing beige). I wish you could buy samples of foundations for all the shades of every foundation to avoid expensive mistakes and crushing disPpointment

It really adapts your skin tone :) I got the shade 75 golden, and its a good match for me..
Its coverage is medium. I apply it after my tinted moisturizer (Solante acnes tinted). And it looks okay :)
Its texture is average but if you apply it with your fingers you'll probably get a bad result .. I apply it with a brush, that way it looks and blends better. BTW i love the pump and packaging :)
Unfortunately it oxizides after 2-3 hours. It gets a bit kind of orangey. And after 5-6 hours,
its like you're wearing nothing but there is a fake tan on your face.
So i voted 3 due to its medium coverage and color adapting..
If you have questions to me about any make up issue, just tweet me ( @tayswiftturkey ) or contact me on MakeUpAlley, I would love to help you :

I love this foundation - it blends so perfectly with my skin tone. Just the right amount of coverage for me (I wear powder on top) and really does give flawless skin. Lasts well all day (I always use base) and can be topped up without the caked on look.
Also, I have very pale skin and find it hard to get a good colour match with good coverage. And this sorts that right out.

To start, I am extremely fair skinned, and as I've had no luck finding a good, heavy coverage lightly coloured foundation, I've started to have to go with the 'darker' look. I don't look at all orange, just so you know! I make sure to blend this down my neck and it looks pretty good!
I found a bottle of this in my moms drawer a few weeks ago, and the shade was 70 Natural. I knew it wasn't my shade, but I had ran out of my Max factor experience (which is great for light skin!) To my shock, this actually blended so well into my skin, and provided a great base. I found it was terrible for smearing on my oilier areas, however a bit of powder fixes this! It was not a good foundation for me, there was just not enough coverage!
I took the try of putting another foundation over top, which really makes a HUGE difference! It almost blends with the Max factor, and creates an even better foundation! It really gives a nice high coverage, without looking cakey! People told me my skin looks soft! I tried it with tinted moisturizer over top - It looked GREAT. I tried it with the lightest shade of Rimmel Match Perfection - It looked GREAT. I've even tried it with my Max factor experience in the lightest shade, and this too looks great!
At first, I thought the whole 'color adapt' was a load of crap, but it truly does adapt! I very much doubted there was a change at first, until I applied this in natural light. I applied It by itself, and before I even had the chance to start blending down the jawline, I saw the color had definitely lightened! As i mentioned, this was quite dark for me originally!
If I'm honest, i wouldn't really use this on a regular basis, even though i did receive so many compliments of FLAWLESS skin. Like really, me with flawless skin? what a laugh! It does make a great foundation to have for the days you want a lighter coverage, or when your running out of your current foundation!

UK Review.
I love this foundation! I have combination skin, oily t-zone, dryish cheeks.
It feels lovely going on, not heavy at all yet still giving good coverage.
I'm not sure so much about it adapting to your skin tone, however it didnt give me any tide marks and did match well.
Lasts well and doesnt make your face look horrible, greasy or even dirty like some others do.
Only tiny negative I would say is the packaging maybe.. it's a plastic bottle/tube with a pump on top. The plasticy packaging doesnt make it feel particually luxiourous.
However, as a foundation, I love it!

Vlasic wins high jump in New York in return
NEW YORK (AP) — Two-time world champion Blanka Vlasic has won the high jump at the Adidas Grand Prix in her first meet since ankle surgery 16 months ago.
Vlasic cleared 6 feet, 4¼ inches Saturday on a cold, rainy afternoon in New York that made her foot ache.
Olympic silver medalist Michael Tinsley used the weather to his advantage to win the 400 hurdles, staying relaxed then coming from behind at the end when the wind was at his back.
Two-time Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica took first in the 200, while reigning world champ Amantle Montsho won the 400.
Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross, recovering from toe surgery, pulled out after deciding her foot wasn't ready to return to competition.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Ellice Street Festival bounces back
14th annual fest is free, other than 25-cent dogs & drinks
The season of the bouncy house continues.
The 14th annual Ellice Street Festival kicks off on Fri., June 14 at 7 p.m. with a free community concert at the West End Cultural Centre (WECC) featuring music from Clearvox and the Bahatizz, and Pip Skid.
But the bouncy houses don't open for business until the outdoor street festival starts at noon Sat., June 15.
"Two of them, every year (they're a) huge part of the attraction," Jessica Dressler, WECC community outreach and volunteer co-ordinator, said of the popular inflated mayhem-inducing houses.
The street festival will run until 4 p.m. with musical acts Cruel Society, Taylor & Young, Bobby Stahr, and Süss performing each hour in that order.
Attendees bringing bikes can have them securely parked by Bicycle Valet Winnipeg, or tuned up by the UWSA Bike Lab.
The West End Biz will be painting faces, Agnes the Clown will be on the loose, and artisans will be looking for people to join in making dream catchers, key chains, and hats.
All activities are free, Dressler said, except hotdogs and drinks selling until 2 p.m. for 25 cents apiece.
The Spence Neighbourhood Association (SNA), which has organized the kids' carnival games at the festival for the past 14 years, has teamed with Art City this year to have the kids who attend SNA programming at the Magnus Eliason Recreation Centre make the games themselves.
Ida Bakken, an SNA program co-ordinator, said the children started the carnival game creation process by drawing their ideas and making "small miniature versions of them before they made them out of wood. And they will be painting them."
The annual festival is a community celebration, Dressler said.
"We're in a neighbourhood that sometimes gets a bad rap — high crime rate, lots of poverty — so this is just a chance for people to celebrate the neighbourhood, people who live here and work here," Dressler said.
It's also a chance for people from outside the community to experience it, and learn about it.
"It's a great opportunity to come out to the west-central area and discover it on that day. Then you get to meet people that live in the neighbourhood who do so many interesting things… we're happy to welcome people from all over the city."
Although the WECC spearheads the festival, Dressler said groups like SNA, the John Howard Society, the University of Winnipeg Students' Association and the Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre help plan and run it.
The festival is on Ellice Avenue between Sherbrook and Langside Streets, which will be closed to traffic for the day.

I like the examples that you give your students using specific heat. I agree that since the math behind specific heat problems is easy that if you only focus on the math, the students completely miss the concept. Another example I use is similiar to your "attention getter." I talk to them about when they are cooking spagetti or macaroni and cheese after a few minutes heating a pot of water, they would burn their hand on the pot but the water may only feel luke warm.There is one other problem I like to give the students. I tell them about two folding chairs that I put outside in the sun. One of them is made of iron and the other out of aluminum. After giving them the specific heats of each of the metals, I ask them which one would be hotter to sit in.Technical Remarks:I didn't find any technical problems with this lesson.

The examples and connection to real life experiences are outstanding. I think the pool example is something all students have experienced at some point. If not a pool, then a shower after waking in the morning or right after a workout is very similar. I think your hook will grab the students attention and really engage them in the topic.I like the idea of using the clickers to assess student understanding. You stated that there wasn't much socialization in this lesson. What if you assigned the class clicker problems, and then after getting their individual results, place them in groups to discuss their individual answer and try the practice problem as a group. I would place them in heterogenous groups to make sute the student having trouble work with students who apprear to be understanding the material. Then after the group work, give another individual problem, similar to the group problem, and re-assess. Technical Remarks:There are no techical problems. The document is very clear, well organized, and easy to read.

- 3Dec 22, '12 by HM-8404Quote from InfirmiereJolieDo you actually know what happened when that ban went into effect? Here's an example, Chinese made SKS's sold for $99. That included a brand new "assault rifle" and 100 rounds of ammo. I purchased 3 plus 6 high capacity magazines. An AR-15 dropped in price to little over $400. When the ban started gaining strength in Congress the gun manufacturers ramped up production and flooded the market, making them affordable for everybody. In essence, there were more guns in the public's hands but yet crime dropped? That ban worked wonders, huh?I agree with RESTORING the The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act and the Federal Assault Weapons Ban which was in place in the 1990's like NRSKarenRN.
Basically there are copy cats on the street since it expired and one was used in Colorado last summer. Not good!!!!
- 1Dec 22, '12 by HM-8404Quote from InfirmiereJolieShowing your knowledge of weapons here. If given the choice I had much rather be shot with a .223 caliber Bushmaster AR-15 than a standard police issue .38 or 9mm handgun. It will do much less damage than they will. The only real advantage the .223 has over the others is accuracy at a distance out to 500 meters.Not if you ban assault weapons. Do you REALLY want to go up against one? I don't think so.
Are you REALLY going to use an assault weapon for hunting deer, rabbits, ect.? NO. It is NOT USEFUL. You can do it without a semi-automatic weapon. There is no use for these weapons except for NON-RECREATIONAL use AKA killing massive amounts of people.
I don't understand why nurses WOULDN'T be for a ban of assault weapons. Afterall, nurses are the ones who has to care for the injured after all of this. They would want LESS people dieing and going to the hospital, wouldn't they? This is caring.
For the record, I have gone up against assault weapons before. Much larger 7.62mm AK-47's.

*** $99! LOL I bought 3 of those Norninco SKS's for $69 each!
- 4Dec 22, '12 by Spidey's mom, ADN, BSN, RN GuideQuote from PMFB-RNYou are right - there are no fully automatic firearms available to the general public since forever - the 1930's.*** Not really. The round fired by the Bushmaster is fairly weak, not usually considered adiquate for deer hunting. It is however widely used for hunting fox, coyote and prairie dogs. The weapon is fairly small and low powered compaired to nearly any other centerfire rifle.
*** That is a fact. At no time during the 1994-2004 so called "ban" were the "banned" firearms unavailable for immediate purchase. Same with magazines holding more than 10 rounds that were also banned at that time.
There isn't any way to get rid of them. There are literaly millions of similar firearms in cilivian hands. Almost nobody will give them up. We know this from recent history. I wouldn't reguardless of the law if I owned any. The only thing that can be done is what was done in 1994 ban the manufacture of certain types of firearms based strictly on cosmetic apperence or brand name. The effect of what available on the shelves of gun shops with be minimal.
*** Here is the main difference. The M4 or M16 he used in the military is an assault rifle. That means it is capable to "select fire" meaning the shooter can select semi auto mode so that in order to fire the weapon the trigger must be pulled and for each trigger pull one round is fired. It is also capable of full auto firing. Meaning that when the trigger is pulled the rifle fires and continues to fire so long as the trigger is held down. The rate of fire is very high, usually around 600 rounds a min. Such firearms are illegal for cilivian possesion (with certain exceptions) and have since 1938.
The rifle used in the recent tragadies looks similar to the military weapon but is NOT capable of select fire or full auto fire. The shooter must depress the trigger each time she wants to fire the rifle. In this reguard it is no different that a huge variety of traditional hunting rifles that have been used for the last 100 years or so.
What would be your realistic suggestion of how to make these relitivly small and low powered weapons unavailable? Banning them will not get rid of them. Are you going to send police to break into people's homes and confiscate their property? Whet do you think will happen if that is attempted?
I think people are misinformed and thinking that these firearms used are like the "Tommy Guns" in old black and white ganster movies or Bugs Bunny cartoons with Bugsy and Rocky and Mugsy and the bad guys hold down the trigger and spray hundreds of bullets at a time.
- 4Paper, pens, printing presses, radio, TV, the internet, cell phones" are NOT used to kill people as or be massive weapons.
There is NO logic in this spiral argument. Guns (especially the semi-automatic kind) are PRIMARILY used to injure or kill another living thing.
- 2Dec 22, '12 by mrmedicalTBQH the only reason this event blew up and got big press because a lot of kids died. Thousands of kids die every day in ways more violent and prolonged. The only reason the populace cares is because it was catered to them on an emotional level and the victims were children. If an IED blew up a school in the ME or some other 3rd world hole no one would blink an eye. Search your heart - you know it to be true. But alas, we as society are so masochistic that we love to suffer along with each other.
It was a freak occurrence, although planned and calculated by a mentally sick individual. However tragic it may be (most arguments are made from emotion because they were children) doesn't detract from the fact that these mass shootings are rare in the United States and are only brought to public light through the media.
Firearms used against criminals by responsible firearm operators or in self defense almost never make it to the airplay, and these events happen daily. As a nurse I don't see any moral or ethical qualms in killing another individual if I am assaulted and my life is in danger: it's the biological response of fight or flight and self preservation.
Those that argue the purpose of a gun - specifically semi-automatic rifle - aren't really within any credibility to establish what their primary use is. At the end of the day, it's a simple machine that slings lead and supersonic speeds at a target: and that target can be many things NOT exclusively people, as some are so disillusioned and keep persisting. And quite frankly, it is my belief that no other American is entitled to tell another citizen what they should or shouldn't have, especially that the MAJORITY of gun owners are rational and safe individuals who do not go on shooting rampages which constitute less than 1% of total firearm owners in the United States.
Mass shootings are freak occurrences and have happened in the past and will continue to happen. Humans can be violent and unpredictable animals. No amount of banning those scary guns is going to stop this problem. It's a knee-jerk response that bleeding hearts cling to in order to fulfill the need to "do something" regardless of how ultimately useless it is.
Seemingly, as a culture we are so polarized on blaming objects, institutions, society than the individual themselves. But we don't do that be cause that would require some actual investigation and critical thinking to solve a serious problem rather than a spontaneous outburst of hormone induced drivel and whimpering, "but... but, think of the CHILDREN!" and "something bad happened, BAN SOMETHING!!!".
If push came to shove, I'd much rather have the rare occurrence of a shooting spree in some insignificant part of the country happen than be disarmed to the point where if that threat ever approached me, I would not be able to defend myself or my loved ones.
- 2Dec 22, '12 by kcmylornI am not a fan, nor am I a member of the NRA. I do not own a gun, I have ever seen a "real gun" nor have I ever owned a gun. I am terrified of guns. This would not be something I would have in my own home.
I am not psych nurse, nor have I ever been a psych nurse but I have taken care of enough patient's with mental health disease over 32 years on med/surg units, tele units, oncology units and in the outpatient family practice area to see, observe and understand enough to know, that mental illness is not adequately addressed in this country not are these patients given the attention and humane decency they should be receiving. Some one posted about non compliance with medication and if they don't want to "help themelves" well, My theory is, for what ever it is worth, is that due to the mental illness- they can't. it's called and I have seen this on many a patient charts in the doctors progress notes_ "insight is poor" "motivation is poor, non existant or minimal". These are 2 determinants that the doctors used to evaluated patients on daily rounds- please start reading your charts, people. Diabetics are non compliant, cardiacs are non compliant, so are many other patient's with physiological diagnosis. But i guess becase we can see a physical cause or symptom that makes them more socially acceptable and deserving of our sympathy. Well mental illness has symptoms we can see also: agitation, pacing, hostile, angry, poor eye contact, no eye contact, non verbal, aloof, distant, flat, mistrustful, confused, disoriented, "tearful"( and how many times have we charted that.) These are symtoms.They are not just adjetives bringing out the writer in us.
I have seen staff be so negligent, disrespectful, condescending, down right cruel and abusive to them. One @@@, I reported to my department of health. This nurse has no business working an inner city FQHC- she doesn't understand the patient population.
The fact remains that our mental health heathcare system is inadeqate- poor and lack of access, sever shortage of formally educated and prepared mental health professionals, poor pay for those who are already practicing, lack of widespead education and literacy on mental health. Lack of primary prevention and health promotion stradegies to address the issues. We simply are not prepared to take competent care of the mentally ill. Every person in this country is responsible. We need to look inside our selves first. How many times did we say something cruel or abusive to some one else. How do we know how that other person is going to take and react to the statement? We don't and we pass it off as- "well, that's their problem", and I love this---"They need to grow a thick skin!!!"" Well no , it's your problem- if you are the one who said the offending phrase or statement, you need to take responsibility for it.
I don't know what went on with Adam Lanza- I can only guess with what I have learned over the years in nursing, seen in my patients and how I have seen other nursing staff treat mental health patient's, know what has been disgusting quips have been said to me over the years and what I have read in the news. That kid did not have it together to begin with as a small child through no fault of his own, his mother and father went through a divorce- that is a major stressor on any one even with out psychiatric illness. It may be a common event, and if your don't have a psych illness going into the divorce, you'll end up with one coming out of one. It blows apart a life style for everyone involved. A coworker of mine, the Director of Critical care, whom I have known for 30 years, was going through a divorce, needed to be hospitalized for 3 weeks for MH reasons, lost at least 40 lbs and was so klingy- I didn't recognize them. That divorce impacted that kid and then mom was noted to have been planning to move him and her out to washington state- again, a disruption in a routine- to someone who was not adaptable to change. I think the kid then picked up the guns and killed mom to stop this move, and went to the school because it represented a family support system and a life he lost; seeing parents dropping kids off, laughing, running into the school and loving life, hugging and kissing their kids goodbye. I think he snapped, I think mom tried to stop him and he shot her. I don't think it was premeditated and I don't think the kid was rational when he did it. I think the suicide was to put an end to his own internal torment and pain. JMHO
- 0Dec 22, '12 by InfirmiereJolieHaving to quote 4 LONG posts made by only two people...
First off, PMRB-RN, just merely because you aren't afraid of semi-automatic assault weapons (e.g., copy cats of those used in the military) DOES NOT mean they are not dangerous and harmful on the streets, being used to kill and injure people. There are OTHERS who ARE afraid; I find this argument self-centered and selfish. Also, what about the military men and women who come home and are FOR this ban of assault weapons? They've seen them used also and are AGAINST it. These people know they are used primarily to kill people.
Secondly, you completely ignoring the fact that amendment was written in the 1700's when these weapons were not available is appalling. The constitution has since been amended and changed from 300 years ago as it was imperfect. E.g., the 14th amendment and universal suffrage. An argument basing it off the fact SIMPLY due to it being instituted (during a time when the any use of guns would have required minutes to load not split seconds, extreme difficulty not ease, and only shoot one bullet at a time not dozens in seconds...) into the constitution is circular as the constitution was imperfect and since changed. This is fundamentalism.. further the amendment states militias as well, meaning for the military. As we move forward with technology, we MUST accommodate in order to protect people or fail to adapt to change.
Moreover, I sense some fear of the government here. Just because YOU are afraid does not mean OTHERS are. This is essentially selfish as well since you want to stop all laws to fit your views/your OWN fears (which OTHERS do NOT share) and yes this is illogical as there is NO reason to fear the government so much. Other countries have bans (e.g., all of Europe, Australia) and they are very happy. They have had bans for years. Further, this is a slippery slope argument that doom will happen when in fact, it is simply getting dangerous, killing weapons off the streets. Then nurses and first responders don't have to care for as many bleeding, injured people in the hospitals and outside the hospital.
There is NO reason to use a semi-automatic assault weapon for "recreational hunting" use when there is another which fits the SAME method which CANNOT be used to kill massive amounts of people. How did people before these inventions hunt? They could hunt then successfully, cannot you? They also had guns, but not those with numerous rounds of ammunition and military capabilities.
This is not about being self-centered for your own wishes; this is about helping others and preventing further deaths. This is about stopping the continuous road blocks to improvement.
Quote from PMFB-RN*** Wow you need to brush up on your history. All have been, cell phones are being used to kill people every day TODAY.
*** Yes exactly why we have them. and why possesion of them is protected by the Constitution. Your attempt to paint those who disagree with you as illogical won't get you very far and is offensive. I understand that reasonable people can come to different conclusions than I and it doesn't mean they are illogical. In any event your argument is based on emotion and not logic. Evidence of this is your persistant calling of what in realiety are fairly small and low powered firearms "massive weapons".
Quote from HM-8404Do you actually know what happened when that ban went into effect? Here's an example, Chinese made SKS's sold for $99. That included a brand new "assault rifle" and 100 rounds of ammo. I purchased 3 plus 6 high capacity magazines. An AR-15 dropped in price to little over $400. When the ban started gaining strength in Congress the gun manufacturers ramped up production and flooded the market, making them affordable for everybody. In essence, there were more guns in the public's hands but yet crime dropped? That ban worked wonders, huh?Quote from PMFB-RN****For the record I have dozens of times. I also observed one skilled rifleman armed with a bolt action rifle hold off a whole platoon of highly motivated, but poorly trained, milita armed with assault rifles. Banning isn't realistic. Oh of course a law can be passed but noting will change just as it didnt' change last time. What are you going to do send the police to invade people's homes and take them? How do you think that will go? How would you know what homes to break into since there are no records of who has what?
*** I suppose if I hunt rabbits with a stick I have "assaulted" the rabbit with a weapon. You are right that firearms like the Bushmaster are not usually used fo deer hunting, they are under powered for that and in many states illegal for reason of being underpowered and unlikely to make a quick and humane kill on deer sized game. However semiautomatic rifles in .223 caliber (like the Bushmaster) are widely used in varmit hunting.
*** Well you are wrong but even if you were right so what? The 2nd Ammendment wasn't put in the Bill of Rights so that Americans could go hunting. It was put in for the same reason the 1st was put in.
***Thats just it. A ban WON'T change anything except make things more difficult for the most lawabiding among us. Yes I am a nurse and of course I would be opposed to banning firearms based only on their apperence as is being proposed.Quote from HM-8404Showing your knowledge of weapons here. If given the choice I had much rather be shot with a .223 caliber Bushmaster AR-15 than a standard police issue .38 or 9mm handgun. It will do much less damage than they will.

For the record, I have gone up against assault weapons before. Much larger 7.62mm AK-47's.
- 1Dec 22, '12 by Laurie52Ya sure. Since paper, pen and the printing press were the only form of media available when the 1st Ammendment came about we should ban radio, TV and the internet. After all the internet provides a medium for the rapid disimination of child porn and makes possible the spreading of terrorists ideologies. Certainly cell phones must be banned since there weren't around when the constitution was signed and they are often used to detonate IEDs and murder people.
Sheesh, your logic sort of freaks me out.

I love this powder so much. I have really fair skin and this is the only powder I've ever found that doesn't make my skin a shade different from my body. Everything usually looks off, but this is dead on. I use this both as a foundation and as a powder top-off over foundation. It smooths everything out nicely and doesn't feel heavy on my skin.
The container it comes in is really cute, but I found that with it being replacable, it falls loose of the compact, especially if you carry it around in a purse. A big chunk got knocked out of the center of mine and I was kinda bummed.
A bit expensive, but worth the money if you're a pasty girl searching for some sort of match.

I picked this up while traveling because I had forgotten to pack my usual HG Chanel loose powder, which is not very portable anyway. Although this Stila powder is technically a powder foundation (Stila makes another product for pressed powder), I really like it as a setting powder. Even with a liberal dusting over my face, it doesn't look cakey or obvious. As an added bonus, it provides a little bit of flattering, sheer coverage. I haven't tried using it wet, so I can't comment on how that works out. 20 Watts is a good match for my fair NC20ish skin. A little pricey ($14 for the refillable compact and $26 for the pan), but this might be the nicest pressed powder I've tried in a long time. The compact came with a thin foam applicator that I don't use -- I prefer to apply with a face brush. I'm not usually a big fan of Stila, but I'm pretty happy with this purchase and will keep this around for portability.
I sort of have a love-hate relationship with this product. I am only 15 years old and I started using the Stila IPF last year when i was 14. It is perfect for a natural look.
Very easy to use
I feel really safe with this product.
Nice, soft coverage
Doesn't look cakey
Looks good on top of concealer
One lasts me 6 months, so thats only 2 per year :)
Shade matches me :) I have Asian Skin and I use 70 watts in the summer, and 60 watts during the rest of the year.
My face will get SUPER oily by the end of the day.
It is pretty expensive ($24 at my local Sephora plus tax)
Compact is expensive and sold seperately
A powder brush will not give good coverage. I use the sponge that came along with the powder . (I wash it every week to keep it clean)
& that's pretty much it :)
I feel pretty safe with this product <33 It's my first love. I'm running out though so I have to go back to Sephora and get another one.
-___- I can't believe I didn't sign up for a Beauty Insider Card yet.
Oh and btw, whenever I first apply this, my first looks really matte and made up. However, after about 10 minutes, the powder will sorta "sink in" to my skin and give a more natural look.
This product looks nice and natural, and I usually apply it two times a day, morning and late afternoon. It gives a nice finished look when I put it on over my liquid moisturizer/foundation. The only downside of this powder is that if my skin is not exfoliated or moisturized, you can see every bit of dry skin because of the powder.
Update--I'm going to replace this with a loose powder. I don't think the staying power of this powder is worth the huge price tag on it. However, I would buy it again if it were cheaper, and I applied it with a brush instead of the sponge it comes with.
Generally o.k. if you have great skin and like to have that "no makeup" feel. It didn't provide enough coverage for the slight rosacea I have on my cheeks, and tended to buildup around my nose and chin creases about 3 hours into the wear. The packaging is ridiculous because you have to buy their $23 compact to have protection for the pan. It's cheaper just to de-pan a used powder compact and place the Stila pan into it.
Will not repurchase due to the poor coverage factor.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Finally. Something light enough and neutral enough (i use 10 watts) for my skin that feels like skin and not makeup. Where has this been all my life? Yes, it's on the expensive side but i've wasted so much money on foundations I'm just happy to find one that works. I use the sponge that comes with it and kind of gently buff it in, over concealor for the "bad" spots. It's not full coverage, just makes your skin look better. Will repurchase. Will tell all my friends. ;-)

I have been using this product for over two years now, with the occasional "break-up" to try another product ... but I keep coming back! I love it because it does not wear off. I did take away one lippy because when my eyes have had a bad day (crying, sleepless night, etc.)basically, it shows the dry skin etc... it definitely has no mercy under my eyes on those days, so basically if my under eye skin isn't doing well, it will show, so I'll apply moisturizer on those days to keep the application smooth! But that's not it's job, it's job is to provide coverage, and it does. I love wearing it because it is semi-sheer and does seem to make my skin glow! It also has great staying power as you go through the package...no matter how old the powder is, it doesn't change color or texture. The sponge does have to be replaced after a couple of months...But in trying different means of application, you can use a brush to spare the sponge and it will look just as great. Overall, I'm guessing this powder is something special if I keep coming back! By the way, other powders I've tried include Jane Iredale, BE, Alima. (only one that came close to it was Alima).
UPDATE - tried yet another foundation in place of this one, but alas, I came right back to Stila Illuminating Powder Foundation ... it's officially my holy grail of powder foundations and I've changed my rating to FIVE STARS!!! Great stuff.
Sometimes it looked great and perfected my very imperfect skin. Other times, I looked ashy and gray (NC35, using 50 watts). Guess it depends on my skin's condition at various times and lighting? Anyway, I use to use StudioFix and it never looked bad on me, but has bad bad bad ingredients. Oh well. No rebuy.

I have re-purchaed this product a few times to use as a base powder under and sometimes as a finishing powder over liquid foundation as I like the finish this product gives. It applies smoothly and does not accentuate dry areas. However recently I have found it has irritated my sensitive skin and and my skin has improved since switching to everyday minerals foundation. I don't think this product provides enough coverage on it's own (unless you already have clear skin with no redness etc) so is best combined with liquid or stick foundation or concealer depending on how much coverage you need. If you apply too much of this product your face may appear a bit "ashy" and mask-like so I would say it is only good for light coverage. Because this product contains ingredients may irritate sensitive skin such as Bismuth Oxychloride, I don't recommend it to those with skin sensitivities, otherwise it is a good product to use in combination with liquid or stick foundation. This product is best applied with a big brush, the sponge provided is not very good.
I tried many powder foundations but this seems to be one of better ones out there. It's not perfect but considering the quality, size, and cost... it has earned it's place in my makeup bag.
I'm a MAC NC30, BB Warm Sand, and LM Sunny Beige with black hair and eyes. I have decent skin but I have uneven skin tones around my nose and a decent amount of freckles. I hate anything that is thick and overly matte. I was looking for a natural matte foundation that is easy to apply in the mornings. This is a great fit to use on top of the Illuminating Fluid Foundation. It gives a natural medium-sheer coverage AND a hint of shimmer. I find if you use this too much, it looks really unnatural (like MAC Studio Fix) but a good buffing brush on the cheeks and forehead makes my skin look luminous without the obvious glitter.
I like affordable refill... whether it was thought out to be environmentally friendly, I dunno but I like it for that point. The sponge is ok but I find the finish with sponge is mediocre at best. I highly recommend to use a dense and fluffy bronze brush for that polished finish. continued >>

3rd 9th 2nd day [morn]Dear Ed, Got thy cousin Thomas letter [for] 6th days mail - Suppose the credit of it is due to him not to thee - Therefore thee will not have looked towards getting an answer That was rather an awkward sort of a business wh. Joseph & Jonathan enlisted in where they undertook the Italian Opera I guess Joseph thought it did not operate very well- & he must have felt decidedly the most awkward of the actors. Well, for you was it, that the charge this time happened to be false. For I greatly fear me that some of you, at some other times, have not been overly scrupulous about such transgressions. - So for this consideration let us try & be lenient to the poor Professor remembering that poor human nature is apt to err. & if you are only innocent it will not trouble you much.Wish regard to my coming down! (every body has to "come down" She knows & as you all seem to be trying to brings me down, I shall not wonder at finding myself fallen in among you some of these days. If they dont get well before Geo.
