I just ordered the Pur Minerals from the Shopping Channel this past weekend. I have tried the loose powder, which I didn't like because it's just too messy and you tend to get too much on your brush.

Have not been able to find samples but the Shopping Channel does offer a 30 day money back guarantee so if I don't like it, it can be sent back. Their blush was very nice - sheer healthy look (I've got the pink colour). Their eyeshadows are quite nice as well.

Glad you asked. I just read on another board that someone had been happy with Aromaleigh. I went to the site and ordered samples and I just love the stuff. New customers get a discount, so be sure to read the site carefully to claim yours. Their customer service is A+.

Just received my Pur Minerals from the Shopping Channel. I ordered the medium even though I thought the light colour would be better. The medium is more of a medium beige colour (a bit dark for me right now but should be okay with the summer just around the corner). I tried mixing it with the Pur Minerals loose powder in transparent and the colour is not too bad.

To give you an ideal of colour of my skin - I use Ideal Balance in Soft Beige. The lipstick offered in the kit is a light frosty pink - perfect for the summer season! And the bronzing powder and blush looks nice too. Will be trying it tomorrow and will post on how I like it.

The stuff is by Bare Escentuals, a company based out of L.A. All of their makeup is pure minerals and you can find samples at some Ulta Cosmetics store. I have heard the foundation works well if you are tired of liquid. Look online and let me know if you find anything.

hi, no I called the shopping chanel and they only had dark and tan left,I'm preety fair skin until I put my self-tanner on.But thnks for the idea,it helps when someone else tries it. I actually was shopping downtown and found a store that caries the Jane Iredale line and bought it(very expensive)and I love it.I was so amazed that a powder can do that and it doesn't streak when trying to cover up any imperfections.I've been getting so many compliments.
Love it!
Thanks for the replies
