My Lovely Android order was mostly an excuse to get Pinkpocalypse blush. I was a little put off by having to order a full size blind (Lovely Android doesn't offer samples on blushes yet), but it looked so awesome on the screen, and had a cool name.
Turns out I love it - applied with a duo-fiber brush it's a lovely flush that stays pink all day. It's also a nice eye color and works well patted onto lip balm - makes a lovely fuchsia with slight blue overtone. All of Lovely Android's blushes are eye and lip safe, which is really nice. So it's a quick look in a jar, which I like.

Review - Lovely Android Foundation
So you all saw my post about my Lovely Android mini-haul - and I've finally had a chance to try everything!
Foundation:
A. Color matching.
4. Close, but not quite. Not bad!
B. Coverage.
2. Barely covers blemishes. This is pretty light coverage. It will even out skin tone, but not much else.
C. Adhesion/durability.
4. Almost gets me through a twelve-hour day. No patchiness!
D. Combination skin friendliness factor.
3. Does ok until lunch.
E. Irritancy.
3. No problems at all.
F. Presentation
3. Beautiful presentation. 5g jar.
G. Value
2. Costs about what you'd expect.
H. Company is nice to work with, good customer service. 1 point. Can't rate on this, as I didn't have any problems.
Total: 21/30. Not bad stuff, very finely milled, but not enough coverage for my needs. I'll use the jar up, but probably won't buy more. If you're looking for sheer coverage and have normal skin, you'll probably love it.

Mini haul - Lovely Android: EDIT - now with pics!
I just got my mini-haul from Lovely Android, a new mineral company based in California. I got a foundation sample kit, which I'll be swatching and reviewing later this weekend, Pinkpocalypse blush, and a free sample of Tuxedo eyeshadow. Tuxedo is a sparkly navy blue.
Notice how the heart stickers match the color of the product inside?
Swatch of both the blush and the freebie eyeshadow. The eyeshadow looks bluer in real life.
Just the blush in close up - swatch on the right is over ELF mineral eye primer. All of Lovely Android's blushes are eye and lip safe.
Just the eyeshadow - swatch on the left is over ELF mineral eye primer (which I seem to use mostly for swatching lately).
Reviews to follow.
Everything was very professionally wrapped, and I like the packaging - clear jars with silver tone lids. Very classy.
