Slowly Put Down That Other Mineral Powder…

…so you don’t make a mess!

Alright ladies, and I’m talking to all of you out there, even the ones who have still not tried mineral makeup…I have a new mineral foundation powder that will put all the others to shame.

Last week I ran over to Ulta after work to get some more foundation powder.  I’ve been using Bare Minerals for a few months now and was about to run out so I needed a replacement.  Even on the drive over to the store I was still not sure if I was going to repurchase Bare Minerals again.  I haven’t been thrilled with the length of time it takes to apply and the amount of product you actually need so you’ll get decent coverage, not to mention how messy it is and how hard it is to travel with.  I’ve also find that the powder has a bit of an orange tint to it, which I do not like at all.  The one good thing I found with BM is that it has helped to keep my face healthy and clear.  I have had significant fewer breakouts since I started using BM.  But, I wasn’t for sure if this was enough for a repurchase, so I decided to look around.

I was hoping to find another mineral makeup powder, but since BM was my first I wasn’t for sure what else was really out there.  I ran upon a mineral line called Pur Minerals and I instantly got interested because their foundation powder was in a compact which generally equals less mess and more coverage.  At that exact time a salesperson asked if I needed help (hello, Kayla if you’re reading) and I began to bombard her with a bunch of questions.  The first thing that I liked was the fact that she wore Pur Minerals and her face looked flawless with no orange at all in her skin (she has fair skin, like me).  I basically told her all the woes I had with BM and told her what I was looking for in a mineral makeup and she told me I would find all that and more with Pur Minerals.  I asked her to apply the makeup to me for a color match and the application looked flawless and matched my skin tone perfectly.  I decided to get the foundation and it turned out that the whole line was buy one get one free (hurry, this might still be going on).  How lucky was I that day?  So, I decided to get another foundation and walked out of there for $24.

I’ve been using the foundation for about a week now and I’m in love, full on love.  My face looks flawless, it’s super easy to use and apply (I use my Kubuki brush and concealer brush during application), the coloring is perfect and it lasts all day and it’s been great at absorbing oil.  I also love the fact that Pur Minerals is a 4-1 foundation:  powder, foundation, concealer and SPF 15.

I’m telling you, Pur Minerals is hands down my favorite foundation powder I have ever used.  So please go out and purchase it for yourself.  I would be absolutely devastated if they went out of business!!
