Has Anyone Used this Powder from Edward Bess?

It's a skin enhancing powder. The color I want is on waitlist. It has one 5 star review. Does anyone know of a dupe or have you tried it? I was wondering if it's sparkly or what it looks like on.

Here is the Q link.

I don't have this one. I have one from tarte that looks similar. Called Colored Clay Bronze Blush that comes in Pink or Peach. I have the Peach one & I love it. It is very subtle, but adds some color & warmth to my fair skin. I like Edward Bess products, so I would give it a try.

This was on about six months ago as I watched the presentation. I waited for reviews and many of them were not good. They were saying there wasn't much color at all. Just this week they have the same product as "new". From the prior reviews, most people didn't like it.

@Pecky, @Dusty1

Thanks for your help. I'll check out the Tarte, I know I've seen this type of powder at drugstores with the different colors swirled in but have never purchased. Would this be considered a finishing powder?

Does anyone use face bronzers in the fall / winter? I do as it seems to give my skin a lift. I'm a bit colorless anymore, I like that all over sun kissed look. But, I don't like to use a lot of powder on my face.

@Himi lover I do use a face bronzer in fall/winter. I like the sunkissed look too. I was using LG mediterran bronzer and was thinking of trying Algengist bronzer after seeing the presentation.

Thanks @Pecky

I'll check out the Algenist. I don't seem to have much color in my face anymore as I've gotten older. Another "perk" of aging. 😖

Each brand works a bit differently. Some have no pigment, even with all of the pretty blocks of color & are basically just a translucent powder on your face. Some have more pigment & will work as a blush or bronzer. The tarte powder is a pretty powder. Finely milled & just adds a hint of color to my face. Not dark enough to be a bronzer or to contour or anything.

It's hard to beat Tarte's color payoff when it comes to their blushes and bronzers. At least that's what I've found with the ones I've bought.

They no longer have this here at QVC, but I was able to find the pink and peach on eBay.

Has as anyone tried this from Tarte, a Colored Clay Foundcealer? I think I'm going to put this on my wish list. I bought several things today Josie Maran) from here. I'm trying to cut back on cosmetics!
