I'm not exactly an expert on mineral make up, but I recently tried a few mad minerals products and I'm really happy with them. the ingredients are really simple and there are no known irritants. Mad minerals products are also fairly inexpensive- a 20g refill bag is less than 10$, which seems like a reasonable price to me.
I got the foundation and the spf powder. I have a pretty good match to my skin tone in the "golden light" foundation, but I've also ordered some samples of their other light foundation colors in case there'll be a better match for my skin. For reference, I'm NW20 in MAC concealer, or maybe a little lighter than that. The spf powder does leave a slight white cast but it's totally fine if it's used over the foundation powder. I think I'm going to mix the foundation powder with the spf powder.
I think mad minerals make up will be a little drying on most people but it's fantastic on the oilier parts of my face for the summer. I use it over the Devita sunscreen, which is a physical sunscreen with zinc oxide.

Maybe they had some ingredients that your skin didn't like, such as bismuth oxide. I'm pretty sure that the mad minerals mmu is very safe... |

Unless it's the mica that breaks you out. Has anyone broken out from mica?

I don't have a problem with mica but there are ladies from the MineralMakeupMania forum that avoid mica. A few MMU companies offer mica free foundation. |

I would like to add that MAD has sales on a regular basis. Last one was 20% off. If you sign up on their site you can have notification of the sales.
A couple of products that I like from MAD:
Cream indeligeble shadows (reviewed this under cream eye shadows as primer) Basically cream to powder and makes a great primer. Assorted shades
SPF powder - great additional SS protection
green corrector concealer - covers red well |

Thanks for the heads up. When I ordered, I managed to do it during the 10% sale and I had no idea. I was surprised when a discount was applied to my total, but I didn't question it
