Here is my little review of Pure Luxe:
Pro:
- I am surprised at the ease of the ordering process – PL utilizes the Paypal shopping cart. If you already use pay pal you just have to type your username and password. Easy.
- Each time I order from Pure Luxe the shipping is prompt and the shipping costs aren’t outrageous.
- They have 25% off sales frequently – about 4 times a year I think.
- They have a ton of bright colors. I love that the colors can be as sheer or vibrant depending how you apply them. They are beautiful foiled.
- PL eye shadows are less expensive than the popular Bare Escentuals eye colors - $5.00 for a full 5-gram jar or a 1/8 tsp sample in jar for about $1.00. They are similarly prices to other small MMU companys.
- PL Eraser - IT REALLY WORKS!
- Blush and Radiances - Pretty colors, average quality, good value
Con:
- PL eye colors are not as bendable as Bare Escentuals eye colors. However, they are still very easy to work with. I believe the easy of use depends on the amount of glitter in the color you select, if you use a primer, the brush you use, and your technique. I haven’t had any trouble with blending but it takes more buffing than BE.
- The sample fill levels vary but this could be because the minerals settle differently, but I found some samples have ½ more than others and that bothers me.
