I tried it last year but ended up not being able to use it due to the inclusion of bismuth oxychloride. That aside, the brush dispenser was convenient and worked flawlessly, although I'd have to say that I was disappointed with the quality of the brush which was stiff. On the plus side, I needed very little of the product for decent coverage and the finish seemed nice. Oh! And it is SPF 26.
If you didn't want to spend the money for the brush dispenser, the refill is a lot less expensive and comes in a glass vial with a screw top lid that could easily be transferred to a more convenient container.
The ColorCorrect stick is a chubby, double-sided, highly pigmented concealer pencil that contains 2 colours, one slightly darker/lighter than the other. The packaging says it can be used to "brighten under eyes and inside corners of eyes, to highlight cheekbones and brow bones, to soften the lines from nose to mouse" and, of course, as a concealer.
I don't remember much else about it as I misplaced or lost it shortly after I purchased it.  All I have left is the empty packaging! 
ColorFlo Mineral Foundation
Active Ingredients: micronized titanium dioxide (6%), micronized zinc oxide (6%)
Other Ingredients: iron oxides, boron nitride, bismuth oxychloride, superoxide dimutase, vitamin A (retinyl palmitate), vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), mica
ColorCorrect

HTHs!
p.s. I think I remember reading a few positive reviews on MUA |

| Thanks havana8, I have been using the Susan Posnick foundation and really like it. I bought just a refill as you said and have applying it with a brush. It does have bismuth which made me just slightly itchy for the first couple of days but no problems after that. If I get it again I will go down a shade and buy the brush dispenser that goes with the product. I like the concealer too, but I am as fickle with concealer as I am with eye cream and I've already purchased another concealer that is in the mail on the way to me. I do like using the light end of the concealer as a highlighter too, that works really well. I put some under my brows and across the tops of my cheeks and my cheeks were more well-defined. The foundation powder is very finely milled and seeps right into the skin and fills pores nicely. I usually apply the foundation with a brush then wipe off the excess with the JI sponge, which is a really great sponge by the way. All in all I like the foundation, I would say it is the best MMU I've tried (others I've tried include JI, BE, Laura Mercier) and it does not look cakey on me. If I get a little crepey under the eyes I wipe them with the sponge and everything is fine. I would repurchase the foundation. I like the concealer too and highly receommend them both! |
