    Does anyone have any feedback about the mineral powder? I am pale, pale, pale and when I heard about Dainty Doll I thought this could be my ideal loose powder... http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/dainty-doll/dainty-doll-loose-mineral-powder/invt/0045800

    Only thing was, the (original) price put me off a bit, and mineral powder (as opposed to bog-standard loose powder) tends to be sparkly and shiny, not matte, as I prefer my powder to be. Mineral powder is usually used as a "buildable" powder, almost like a veil of foundation, so is this what this powder is like?

    Wondering whether to give it a try. Thanks :D

    I got one, and I read a lot of reviews. It is as you say, a nice subtle buildable powder, not shimmery on me at all, but the applicator brush is terrible. I am going to decant the powder into an empty pot and use it that way. Not a lot of product but at such a cheap price it's worth trying.

    That kit isn't Urban Decay, it's Diego Dalla Palma. It's a really nice set though, very good quality:)
    Someone on ebay has listed it as Urban Decay :o maybe to try and encourage sales!

    I'm finding the brush to be awkward too, I'm shaking it to try and get some out but not much is coming out and I was starting to wonder if there was a knack to it :rotfl:

    Bit dissappointed, ordered last Thursday and had confirmation email, and despatch email on Friday, still not delivered. REALLY want my make-up! Hopefully will arrive soon :-)
