It's back!
I bought this in the most recent sale wanting to give it another try. The last six or seven of them that I purchased were definitely not the same formula.

Does not blend well
I was looking for a talc free/clean formula so I fell for the good reviews. This does not blend well with a brush or sponge and leaves me looking cakey, especially around under eyes. I was hoping loose powder would be smoother and easier to apply, oh well.
