Bare Escentuals - Has anyone change to another brand?

Since Lesley sold out to Shiseiso of Japan, I've noticed a great number of changes in the quality and configuration of their products. One of Lesley's selling points was that all the products were natural and in 'earth' form (loose and having no additives like 'cake or pressed powders) I decided with the first showing of the line after the sale that I didn't like the changes and now I'm using up my reserves and looking for a new line

Has any one else decided to change brands away from Bare Escentuals?

After the sellout, I noticed the loose foundation no longer blended nicely and started to irritate my skin. I now use It cosmetics

I have plenty of the older BE eye shadows so I am good there.  For my foundation I have switched to L'Oreal True Match.  I am also using some IT cosmetics but just not sure about them.  I like but not completely happy.

I didn't pay any attention to the date of the first post.

I'm not a fan of IT cosmetics.  I'll stick with Bare Minerals until they stop selling my loose powder and mineral veil.

I'm with you.  I stil love the original Bare Minerals.  I do also like Laura Geller's Balance and Brighten and use that as well.  These are the only two brands I use.

I tried the IT foundation and thought it was AWFUL. I like Smashbox Halo and still have some Bare Minerals from before the sale.
