Signature Minerals



I can't say enough good things about Signature Minerals mineral makeup.  I am absolutely loving the blushes, concealers,correctors, bronzers, and veils.  The best part is that they will send you a sample of every product and every color absolutely FREE!  Yep, that's right, free.  You can order sample packs of 6 (as many as you like) by visiting their Signature Minerals website.  All you have to do is cover the shipping, which is a very fair deal. 

As a woman with "skin of color,"  I have a very difficult time finding cosmetics that match my skin tone.  I recently ordered a 3 pack mineral sampler from another company that came to over $17 (including shipping) and didn't even get a good match.  I really can't afford to try too many colors at that price!  But at Signature Minerals, they make it easy.  You are limited to one free sample per color, but with all the color choices available, who'd want to?

I wanted to give everything a fair trial before writing about it here, so I have been trying it for a few weeks now (the samples are very generous!).  I can honestly say that I will be buying full sized products soon.  The colors are great, the quality is high, and the full sized items are reasonably priced as well.   Also, the shipping is lightning quick.  I ordered my samples on a Saturday afternoon (during non-office hours) and received them the following Tuesday.  So there's no real waiting time for your goodies to arrive, which is another great selling point.

I swatched a few of the blushes to show the wonderful range of colors, as well as the vibrancy, and they really look fantastic when you apply them on your cheeks!

Swatches (top row l-r are gleeful, desert rose, palest pink, pink jazz, adobe sun, dusty mauve; bottom row l-r are:  cocoa bean, caramel kiss, damask, buff apricot desiree, and coral

in the picture:  corrector in sunshine under 8.3 medium to dark beige foundation, cocoa bean and caramel kiss blushes and goddess bronzer for contouring cheeks, jawline, and nose, desert rose blush, radiance veil as highlight on upper cheeks, forehead, and nose, and  translucent veil to 'set' the look

You can get your free samples (and I highly recommend that you do, after all, free is good!) at  http://www.signatureminerals.com/free-sample-pack.html
