Hi! My friend says she has good things about Pure Luxe, but I had never heard of it before. I'm about to order a bunch of samples from them, but was wondering if anyone had tried them and had any opinions or suggestions about what to order?? Thanks....

Compared to other mineral makeup companies I'm not into their e/s and blushes much, but I like their powder foundation, gives better coverage than BE. Tons of people rave about their stuff though, here's reviews from MUA:

Of all the things of theirs I have bought, the only thing I liked was Eraser. I tried e/s, I tried other stuff, but none of it was that special. Eraser was the only decent thing, and it's not even something I'd call a necessity.

All in all, I've been unimpressed by PL.

I have the e/s samples in many colors, and i like them. I use UDPP with my pigments and i don't notice a difference in wear between PL and MAC. They have so many colors and it is pretty cheap, I say go for it.

Well I love Eraser too,.. Is good stuff,.the shadows are pretty decent but not a whole lot of pigment to many of them,.. so in order to get them to pop you have to foil them,... I foil them even over UDPP and paints,.. but they do have some pretty stuff,..

[Sweet16x2]

Thanks everyone....considering most of their samples are only $1, I figured it couldn't hurt to try them out. I never really need more than a sample of a color anyway. I rarely wear the same e/s two days in a row. There are so many colors and so little time! =)

These new shades are all really good. I'm thinking of ordering a few in sample size and a few regular size jars!

I'm really liking the new kind of nude shades towards the bottom of the page.

Wow, Shameless looks SO pretty!

WOWWWWWWWWWW! Nice Do they ship fast?

[ebonyannette]

ooh, i like the misfits-glory section. Has anyone used these before do they show up like pigments?

[eowyn797]

holy CRAP, that Amethyst one looks gorgeous!

[darkbeauty27]

These pigments are wonderful, but sometimes they are a little on the sheer side. Pure Luxe sends good size samples too! They have a great variety of shades.

Can anybody tell me which Sweetscents and Pure Luxe colored pigments are similar to MAC pigment colors?

TIA!

[electrostars]

Here's a post someone posted with a picture of sweetscents & stagelight vs MAC pigments!

Sorry if this is listed elsewhere but- is there anywhere online that has a list of Pure Luxe shades?

This is their website, which shows all their products with pictures and descriptions.

I placed an order last night so I'll let you all know how they compare.

Some sweetscent swatch for anyone interested.

I am so upset at myself for buying pure luxe. I spent about 60 dollars worth of eyeshadows and although the shades look great, most of them don't apply well at all. Even with a base I find that it doesn't apply evenly. I'm soo dissapointed...

I recently put through and order and received it yesterday and had a play

I took swatches of the 21 shadows and before and afters using Eraser

+ Photobucket album
+ All swatches on one page (warning - large images)

My favourite shadows are:

+ Bullion (the metal shadows are amazing)
+ China Blue
+ Forged
+ Glory
+ Khaki
+ Lush (A dark, sparkly green. Think Sophie Ellis Bextor in the "murder on the dancefloor" clip)
+ Pure (very similar to MAC white frost)
+ Rockstar
+ Rococo (this is the most beautiful vibrant blue)
+ Visions (this makes a nice liner for a peach eye design)
+ Retro

Wasn't blown away by Black Tie or Minerella. Black Tie is nothing like MAC Black Tied, which I hoped it would be. It's very washed out. Might be ok if you wet it and use it as a liner.
Minerella sat in the wrinkles of my skin and not on top. It's a dirty purple on my skin

Eraser is amazing. It's like airbrushing your face when you use it. I painted it on my lips and it made all the creases in them look like they have dissapeared!
I took before and afters of me using it on the tiny lines next to my eye

I tried a bunch of PL e/s samples, but I didn't like them, too powdery IMO. I honestly think there's something better on the market (= Twisted Fayte and Taylor Made Minerals).

[super_chique]

I've tried PL quite recently and although I love the shade, coverage and ease of application, it looks too powdery and fake.

Has anyone managed to get their MMU to look more dewy or "real"? I've also tried Lumiere with the same problem.

I havent tried pure luxe but Oceanmist is my fave for foundation and fyrinnae has great eyeshadows.
