Pur Minerals Review & Sweepstakes
Last fall I did a review for the Pur Minerals Beauty-to-Go Collection and talked about how much I loved using their mineral make-up. So when they contacted me again this year to find out if I’d be interested in reviewing some of their new products, it was a no-brainer.
This time Pur Minerals sent me the following products:
4-in-1 Mineral Tinted Moisturizer
Your moisturizer, primer, foundation and SPF 20 all in one! This innovative 4-in-1 formula infuses the skin with powerful hydrators and proven correctives, including sodium hyaluronate and Pür’s exclusive Ceretin Complex-a one-of-a-kind ingredient engineered to radically renew the skin without irritation. Use it alone for a one-step, ultra-natural complexion or as a hydrating, broad-spectrum base for mineral makeup application.
4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation with Skincare Ingredients
Didn’t think our original 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup could get any better? Well, it has. Our newly enhanced formula has everything you love about the original 4-in-1 and more-same great coverage, same lightweight feel, same no-mess mineral makeup, but now with NEW built-in skincare ingredients, clinical results and sophisticated packaging.
Pressed Mineral Blush in Polynesian Pink
Add a fresh pop of color to your spring look with our newest Pressed Mineral Blush in Polynesian Pink. This island-inspired shade gives cheeks a light, natural glow that lasts all day. As with all of our mineral makeup products, it is free of petroleum-based oil, alcohol, talc, fillers, fragrance, preservatives and chemical dyes.
Limited Edition Pout Plumping Lip Gloss in Passion
Give your pout a color rich pop with Pϋr’s limited-edition Pout Plumping Lip Gloss in Passion. This deep raspberry shade with golden shimmer infuses lips with nourishing vitamins and volumizers for a fresh, full lip look that’s never sticky or tacky. Intensely hydrating, Pϋr Minerals lip glosses give your lips a pout-plumping boost of hydration, with ingredients shown to increase volume by as much as 60 percent!
I was most excited to try the 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer because although I love the light feel of the mineral make-up, I wanted to have a little bit extra coverage and the Tinted Moisturizer was just right. I apply the tinted moisturizer first and then follow it with the mineral makeup foundation. I find that the combination of the two gives me a really smooth look and holds up all day.
The Pressed Mineral Blush was a nice surprise because I actually needed new blush and the Polynesian Pink was the perfect spring color. The first time I tried it, I ended up going a little heavy with it and the color seemed awfully bright to me, so it’s definitely a good idea to use just a little bit when using this. I sometimes even apply my powder blush first and then follow up with the makeup and I find that this gives me just a hint of color, which is the look I want.
The Plumping Lip Gloss was also an interesting product to try. I really loved the raspberry color, but when I applied it I thought it was a little too dark for what I usually wear. So I simply blotted so I was just left with more of a lip stain and then applied some clear lip balm over it and it was perfect.
I really can’t say enough about Pur Minerals. Every time they send me new products to try I end up falling in love with them. I don’t have a lot of time to spend on doing my make-up, so I love that their products, like the tinted moisturizer, act as several products in one. There’s no need to use primer, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc. because they’re all wrapped up in one easy-to-use product.
Now you have a chance to win one of 20 Pur Minerals Spring New Arrivals Kits and try the products out yourself! They are also giving one lucky reader the chance to win an iPad2!

I am wearing Neutrogena w/ acne fighters….an ivory/fair shaded of foundation
Very very fair.
Thanks for the great giveaway! My Mother in law introduced me to mineral makeup about 4 years ago and I love it. I currently wear a medium shade of powder mineral foundation (it is about 4 years old, so I really should probably replace it). I’ve been blessed with ok skin, and just use all my makeup when I have special occasions, like a birthday to go to, date night with the hubby, etc. Otherwise, our two boys keep me busy and I throw my makeup on as fast as I can!
Thanks again for the wonderful giveaway.
