The Products
For this review, I received four (4) products from Pür Minerals to test out based off my skin tone (light/fair).

*NEW! 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation with Skincare Ingredients in your shade ($27):

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. The 4-in-1 Pressed Foundation is best applied using a full-coverage brush. Apply in circular motions to achieve an even and flawless finish.

NEW! 4-in-1 Mineral Tinted Moisturizer ($34 value):

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. To apply, smooth a small amount onto clean skin and blend for desired coverage.

NEW! Disappearing Act 4-in-1 Concealer ($22 value):

Create a flawless complexion for today and tomorrow with Pür Minerals‘ 4-in-1 concealer with built-in skincare ingredients. Put an end to unsightly eye lines, dark circles and blemishes for good with salicylic acid, brightening Waltheria Extract and Pür’s problem-solving Ceretin Complex, featuring purified, nonirritating retinol and moisture-maximizing ceramides. Easily blendable and buildable, Disappearing Act brightens, balances and lifts the skin’s appearance with minimal effort. To apply, dab a small amount over desired area and blend using clean fingers or a brush. Apply generously to problem areas and visible imperfections.

NEW! Pressed Mineral Blush in Polynesian Pink ($16 value):

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. After applying 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup, sweep Pressed Mineral Blush over the apples of your cheeks, blending up to your hairline.

Here are two more NEW products that are part of Pür Minerals Spring collection:

NEW! Lava Rocks Eye, Cheek & Lip Colour ($16 value):

Give eyes, cheeks and lips a healthy dose of multi-depth color with Lava Rocks-the newest member of the Pür Rocks family. Using the same patented, three-dimensional design that made Pür Rocks a beauty star, Lava Rocks contours cheeks, colors eyes and lavishes lips in rich mineral hues of garnet and red clay. Using a powder brush or eye shadow brush, work bristles into the rocks to unlock the pure pigments. For more intense color, apply individual rocks directly to lips and eyes.

Limited Edition Pout Plumping Lip Gloss in Passion ($16 value):

Give your pout a color rich pop with Pür Minerals 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, PÏ‹r Minerals lip glosses give your lips a pout-plumping boost of hydration, with ingredients shown to increase volume by as much as 60 percent!

My Thoughts
As a stay at home mommy, who hardly ever goes anywhere with two little ones in tow, wearing makeup is not always a big priority for me. I am always looking for something quick, non-animal tested and environmentally friendly to use…which is what I found with Pür Minerals.

I love that all of their products are FREE of chemical dyes, petroleum-based oils, fillers and fragrance. This is definitely very important for anyone who has sensitive skin, as many of my friends and family have. Their pressed mineral colour formulations are specially engineered with good-for-your-skin ingredients that not only offer exceptional coverage, but also nourish and condition the skin for a healthy radiance.

• I really enjoyed the 4-in-1 pressed mineral makeup (powder) which has been clinically proven to: correct, prevent and interrupt your skin concerns; smooth away the look of lines and wrinkles; plump, lift and firm the skin’s appearance; and balance uneven skin tone. I found that  I really didn’t need to use a lot of foundation (if any at all) when using this product.
• The tinted moisturizer could also be a product that I would want to use on its own as well. It gave my skin a little bit of color, but not too much to look uneven.
• The disappearing act concealer worked really well for under my eyes (covering any dark circles from those late nights) and my blemishes. I liked that it came in such a small package, so you won’t go overboard using it.
• The Polynesian pink blush (which came with a mini brush built in) left a shimmer of pink that would compliment any skin color…I might even use it for eye shadow too!

With each use of their products, you are essentially eliminating the need for complicated beauty regiments – as Pür Minerals is a product that multitasks. It is for that reason, why I would highly recommend the use of this company’s cosmetics and beauty collection. Your skin will “thank you” in the long run, with your beautiful skin tones, eliminated dark spots and firmness back in place.

Now for the sweepstakes…To celebrate their new Spring collection, Pür Minerals is having an incredible giveaway where ONE person will win an iPad2 and TWENTY (20) people will win a Pür Minerals Spring Arrival Kit!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
