The coverage is surprisingly good for as light as it is. I'll be curious to see what Crab has to say when she gets back.
It's been about an hour and 15 minutes since I had it applied. First off, I'll say that the bright lights in the store really kinda turned me off at first. I grabbed a mirror, walked out into the mall for a natural light view, and was then pleased with what I saw. Those bright lights (IMO) don't help sell the product.
I'm pleased with what I see in the product so far, but will report back later on as the day progresses. I tend to get T-zone oil so I'm anxious to see what the product does as it sets more.
I will say this, though ... if you have visible pores, you may not like it if applied in the store under those bright lights. It's been awhile since I last microdermabrased, and wish I'd have thought to do that last night or this morning. But I'm getting back in my habit of doing it 3 times a week so as I do, the fine lines/pores are much less noticeable/visible. Now, I didn't apply the rever-upper stuff beforehand (forgot about it) so that could make a difference as well. But at home, in the mirror, my pores aren't near as noticeable as in the store under those lights.
Overall, as far as how the product feels, I'll give it a
... it doesn't feel as cakey as regular foundation (and I traditionally use a matte). This leaves you with a dewey, airbrushed look. If you're blessed with even half-way decent skin/complexion, I think you'll really like the product. I hardly ever break out, and moisturize regularly, so my skin (aside from pores) is in pretty good condition and accepts the minerals pretty well.
And I was a "light/fairly light" ... the med was a little "orangey" for my complexion. So if you cannot get to a sephora for a personal color "fitting", I'd go one shade lighter than you think you'd use. Chasey, I'd say you'd be in the same category (light/fairly light), in the winter. Come summer, I'll probably have a need to increase to medium, or use a touch more of the "warmth" minerals to match my skintone when I get tan.
Best bet if you can't go to Sephora would be to order it through QVC b/c they will let you return it if it doesn't work for you.
eeeyeww
C'mon folks -- it's freakin' WATER! 
I should make the same product and sell it for $5/can. 
I bought the light/fairly light kit, and the "light" is too dark for my skin, so I only use the "fairly light". So if someone out there buys the same kit and finds that "fairly light" is too light, I'd be willing to trade.
