Really Soft!
It is a really great brush especially for the price! Very soft feels nice on the face not rough or scratchy at all. My only complaint is the coverage I hear the handi-buki brush is great for fuller coverage maybe I will have to try it!

Bare Escentuals Hygrating Mineral Veil
Great product. For me it is a nicer product than the original veil. It's lighter in weight and gives a nice finish. I will be buying this veil in the future.

Good coverage quick to put on but not that light
Let's start by saying that in the past few years since I've gotten more an more into natural living I've started wearing less and less makeup. That said I'm still a girly girl so I've never left home without at least some mascara and a little bronzer.
Unfortunately I'm one of those people whose skin mirrors their stress levels so I'm prone to a degree of breakout and blotchiness when I'm very stressed don't sleep enough etc. This set is good for those days when I feel I need a bit more makeup: the foundation gives pretty good coverage (especially if you use the kabuki brush) Warmth gives the perfect glow on my cheeks and mineral veil is fab to achieve that finished look which I never felt I could achieve no matter how much or how little makeup I put on and how long I spend doing it.
Basically with this set you can get a better job done in A LOT less time.
However (and here's why I gave it 4 stars and not 5) if you don't like the feeling of makeup on your skin you probably will be bothered by this especially as soon as you put it on. I gets better after a few hours but when I'm done putting it on I always feel tempred to wash my face and take it all off again because I still get that feeling of "help! my skin can't breathe".
I think most people will be happy with this; as for those of us who are a bit more sensitive we'll have to keep looking and save this for special occasions.
Note: I haven't used the lotion included in the package because I'm allergic to salicylic acid so I cannot review that product.

So silky!
I've used Bare Escentuals makeup for the past 2 years and have really enjoyed the product. It's easy to apply (after the initial learning curve) provides great coverage and doesn't become oily looking or rub off. The only complaint I had was that the eye shadows didn't seem to stay put and would build up in the crease of my eyelid and that tiny crows feet became a bit more prominent after even a very light application. NO MORE! Prime Time has solved those problems and more. It's so silky smooth during application isn't tacky or oily and has even eliminated the look of small pores on the nose area. Will definitely be using the product consistently!
