Pur Minerals 5-Piece New Start Now Kit Review & Giveaway

I’ve had bad skin since I was in my early pre-teens. There were times that I stayed home from school because my acne was so painful.

Now that I’m approaching 30, my skin is somewhat better, but plenty of scars still remain. I also still breakout quite often. It’s in different areas now and it’s not quite as painful, but as a 29 year old woman, it’s still very frustrating.

Typically, my make up of choice is a thick liquid foundation. Of course there’s plenty of concealer and a good caking of pressed powder on top as well.

I did try a brief stint with mineral make up a few years back, but during my pregnancy with my daughter my skin changed and it just didn’t seem to be compatible with my complexion any longer.

Needless to say, I was a bit hesitant when I received my Pür Minerals 5-Piece NEW Start Now Kit! in the mail to review. I just wasn’t sure it would work for me.

Not only that, I am a mom, so my time to get ready is very limited.

I opened up the kit and this is what was inside:

• 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup (.15 oz): Loose powders are so last year. Combining pure mineral pigment with the finest skin care ingredients, our all-in-one foundation, concealer, powder and SPF 15 has inspired generations of women to forget the mess and go pressed.
• Neutral Primer (.3 fl oz): While most primers create the illusion of a more uniform complexion, our skin correcting formula contains special key ingredients that minimize the look of pores, dark spots and fine lines for a truly flawless makeup canvas.
• Mineral Glow (.12 oz): Combining premium quality minerals with proven firming ingredients, Mineral Glow gives skin a natural-looking touch of sun with added skin care benefits.
• Impact+ Mascara (.12 oz): Lengthen, thicken or curl—most mascaras give you just one option. Impact+ gives you all three, with the added benefit of extreme lash hydration for naturally healthier looking lashes.
• Chisel Brush: Designed specifically for our 4-in-1 formula, this cruelty-free total coverage brush delivers an effortlessly even application every time. Also works with Pür specialty powders

Yucky before

The first thing I did was put some of the Neutral Primer on my face. It was very light and not greasy feeling at all. I let it dry and then started to sweep on the 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup in a circular motion. I was so surprised at the coverage! I also loved the chisel brush that they included in the package. It was nice and soft on my face.
I used a bit of the mineral glow as blush and swept the Impact+ Mascara on my eyelids. So pretty!

After: Taken by my 4 year old son!

Just two girls getting ready!

I love the coverage of this makeup. You wouldn’t think a powder could feel this light, but cover so well. I have tried other mineral makeups, and I honestly think Pur Mineral’s is top notch above the rest!
