Most of my blush is still useable. I don't tap the excess off in the pan, my blush and brush generates a lot of loose powder for some reason, never had this problem with other blushes from Cover Girl to Nars, never seen a blush with so much loose powder.

Thanks for the suggestion! I picked up and put back the Urban Decay Naked Palette several times when I was shopping at Sephora during Chic Week but just couldn't justify the cost even at 15% off, especially since I already have a zillion eye shadows. I bought the Mini Daily Palette. It was only $11.25 after the discount.
I guess I didn't realize that blush wasn't suppose to kind of come loose when you use it? Down Boy from theBalm does this, as well as my blush from IT Cosmetics. I think the only blush that I have that doesn't do this is Laura Geller, but that could be because it's baked. And the loose powder is slight so it doesn't bother me. I received Sweet Cheeks also and love it!
I don't know that it should or shouldn't....I mean it doesn't really bother me unless I need to travel with it. The looseness of the powder is what makes it so blendable in my opinion. To me it's not something to assign a "good" or "bad" value to. I prefer that over a really hard blush that your brush can barely pick up any color from, that's for sure.
I have both of those items. I will have to try that tomorrow.
I've been doing that too! Very happy to find a use for Tough a Taupe cause up till now I haven't been a huge fan. But that combo is fantastic

Mica (Sericite) as a general rule is safe for the skin and usually will not cause any significant problems for women with normal complexions; however for those of us, like me, with sensitive, allergy prone skin issues, this ingredient can cause severe distress to the wearer. Mica is made from pulverized (crushed) rock which tends to have sharp microscopic edges causing micro-tears when buffed onto the skin. It can also cause further irritation to women with acne and rosacea making both of these conditions worsen. Certain coated Mica based products will wreak havoc on acne prone skin due to its' heavier consistency which requires more buffing onto the skin in order to disperse pigment and keep it from slipping into fine lines. It is this same action which forces the makeup into the pores which in turn can plug them and create an environment for more acne to grow.
