General Comments on this product:
The product itself is great! I was skeptical at first; thinking it was just another mineral makeup to add to the list of many mineral products available.

Recently, I recieved an Ulta ad in the mail with the Pur Mineral 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Foundation for Buy 1, Get 1 Free! Wow! If you do the math, lol... $24.50 each (Break it down-- $12.25 each). I thought it was worth to try.

I purchased Light & Blush Medium (Golden Medium was sold out).
I've been using it for a few days now, and I really like it. It blends well, looks natural, covers imperfections, light to medium coverage (if you want full coverage; wear it with foundation) and there's no smell.

Unfortuantly, the packaging isn't nice.
Gray compact with clear top. A built-in mirror on it's underside with a sponge. I don't use/re-use a sponge with this product (hygienic issue), I prefer a brush.

This product is similar to Mac's Mineralized Skin Finish Natural. These products are about the same price. Personally, I prefer Pur Minerals over Mac's MSFN. It seems that Pur has more product with a single swipe of a brush... For example, I have to literally press and drag my brush into Mac MSFN's to get a lot of product at one time. But with Pur, it's just a light sweep over the product.

I would definitely buy this product again!

After 2 months using Pur Minerals, I've changed my views on it.

I realized that Pur doesnt have much colors for light skinned people. Dark, yes. But for light skinned, it's limited to 4 colors; porcelain, light, blushing medium and golden medium.

For me, golden medium was dark (plus it was sold out). So I bought light and blushing medium. I've noticed that blushing medium is still dark on me and light is lighter than I would like it. This is a problem with Pur Minerals that made me NOT want to buy it again. I can't get a correct color even when I mixed the products.

And when I stated "This product is similar to Mac's Mineralized Skin Finish Natural.", I take that back. MSFN seems to be way better; offering more colors/shades and it looks way more natural.
