I have heard Alima has no talc and perhaps no cornscratch, a common ingredent in powders, that usually breaks people up

That's right, Alima's ingredients are listed on their web site, and there is none of that:

Sorry for the terribly late reply, I didn't see this. And yes, I use the satin finishing powder. It provides a very silky (not glowy) finish on top of your foundation.

I really like the PF MMU I am very fair nw15 or nw20 (I think it's been a while since I used mac foundations) I have the creamy natural and trans light and I mix them. They have decent buildable coverage and dont make my face itch like BE did. Oh I buy the loose powders.

I've been using some of the Physician's Formula Mineral Wear products for a while now. I love the concealer! It comes in a tube with a brush attached. The brush isn't too rough or too soft and does a decent job of blending. I also use the liquid minerals foundation. (My dry skin seems to cause mineral powders to settle directly into every single line and wrinkle on my face!) The foundation goes on smooth and gives me pretty good coverage.
I have the Matte Finishing Veil powder and the Bronzing Veil powder. Ehh. I don't like how they're meant to be used (the brush is attached to the jar and you shake and swirl, shake and swirl) and the brushes are too stiff and hurt.
I'm not sure if it's part of the Mineral Wear line or not, but I recently got their Natural Eyelight and I love, love, love it! It lasts forever and little goes a long way. I've just started putting it on my very deep, very dark hereditary undereye circles on top of my concealer and before my foundation. It does a great job of camoflauging those suckers and brightening my eyes besides!

I just saw the Finishing Veil in translucent at Target and it intrigues me b/c it looks to be just like BE's Mineral Veil for so much less! How do you like it, besides the brush? Or has anyone else here used it? Comments?

I haven't tried it, but I've heard great reviews for Physician's Formula Organic wear MMU. Those who react badly to mica or cornstarch probably won't like it, but the ingredients are quite lovely. I'm kind of tempted to try it myself but will hold off until my current supply from Everyday Minerals [that stuff lasts forever!] run out.

Re: Drugstore mineral makeup?
I used Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Powder (the pressed version) for a year and a half. I loved it until my face exploded into a ton of clogged pores, and it took me months to get rid of them. I haven't tried any of the others though.

Re: Drugstore mineral makeup?
The PF was too creamy and orangey for my skin. I have oily skin and needed something more matte but I think it'd work for girls with darker and drier skin than mine. You could get full coverage with the mineral liquid or powder.
I've tried NYC's too, the pressed version, and at first I really didn't like it but I think I was just learning how to use it. Coverage is sheer and can be built up a bit more and I actually like it now using a decent brush. The one that it comes with is completely useless and scratchy. I use the 182 and it's way better. The lightest shade is good for other NC15 girls.

Maybellines pure mineral powder foundation is amazing - gives a beautiful airbrushed look and doesn't have talc in it etc etc. I'd highly recommend (and I bought it because it was highly recommended to me by several others - so seems like its a good one
