YEA! Mine arrived today and I LOVE IT!

One side of my face I used the sponge with no primer.

The other side of my face I used a small amount of the BM pore primer and applied with the BM foundation brush.

I would say its light to medium coverage. Think you could add more if you wanted more coverage. Blended in so easily with the sponge and the brush. Shade was spot on. Think my other powder compacts might start to feel lonely......

Both sides look great although I have to admit that I may like the sponge side better. It didn't take any longer using the sponge than it did the brush. I am so happy I got this. As someone else said, I'm tempted to get a back-up cuz I think once this gets out into regular brick and mortar stores and is on their website, it may be hard to repurchase when I need it.

I received mine yesterday and I have to say I looove it. The color is perfect, I ordered medium beige 12. It goes on flawless and looks so natural. I did use a foundation brush and stippled it. I am thinking of ordering the medium 10.

@Pecky - I'm curious as to the type of foundation brush you used. Was it a flat-topped brush or a different kind? Just wondering if it was more the type of brush I used that made me not like it as much as with the sponge.

@JudyL I used this brush that came with Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer. It is a flat top.
