I squeeze some out and it was a little gross at first. It looked like gloopy gel with bits of powder mushed into it. But after 45 seconds of smooshing around, it became this really high coverage layer of foundation. It smelt a LOT like the ale vera serum Karen makes. But only, it had a bit of sourish note too.
pinkpomelo, I think the brand you might have seen is Jane Iredale? They are the first ever brand of mineral make up I came across (but never bought because they are soooooo expensive). I have recently started mixing in some of my SN powder foundation blend with regular moisuriser to create a 'liquid' foundation, but never thought of trying it with serum - might be a good call on a warm day though when you only want a bit of hydration without any oiliness, so thanks for the idea :D

Ahh, yes, "Jane Iredale". Oh my gosh, they are so so expensive! How much foundation to serum/moisturizer do you mix?
