LOVE THIS STUFF! It is so smooth and pretty...I wear Sheer Zircon. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is not very long-wearing. However, it is not really marketed to be that. I really like it, alot, though!

This lipstick feels really smooth. The colours are really nice. The one I bought (Mauve Quartz) is a great nude shade for me.

Lipstick is my thing! I love lipstick so when I saw these at the drug store I decided to try them. I tested the Sheer Zircon on my wrist and the colour looked perfect but when I got it home and put it on my lips, it disappeared completely! It had no colour saturation. It was creamy and moisurizing but too expensive for a product that had left my lips looking bare. I decided that maybe it was just that particular shade so I bought another, the Sheer Citrine. This gave more colour but not much. I think that may be my issue with these lipsticks, they lack colour saturation when you put them on, they are almost more like a very light gloss, in fact, their gloss line is fabulous, lots of colour saturation there, my fav gloss so far! In fairness, the lipsticks are wonderfully moisturizing and seem to last but at 18.00 a tube, too much to pay for a glorified lip balm. This product is not for me.

I purchase this in Rosasite, a very sheer ruby which looks just a shade or two deeper than my own lips. It seemed one of the creamier, less frosty shades; swatched in-store, the tester seemed dry and seemed to pull on my skin. However, after reading so many glowing reviews, I chalked it up to being an ancient tester, and brought it home with me.




My first impression wasn't stellar. The smell! These Pur Minerals lipsticks carry with them the scent of a lipstick going bad. Crayons, perhaps? I almost resented swiping this on my lips. But the butteriness, the smooth application, quickly diverted my attention from the less-than-wonderful smell, and the color, a soft, sweet shade of pinky red, made my lips look so healthy I knew I'd either get used to the smell or ignore it altogether. Plus my lips stayed hydrated for hours, a feat for any lipstick on my dry lips.

Great lipstick! I got it not too long ago and so far I am very impressed! It feels silky smooth and moisturizing on my lips and is not sticky at all. I got it in Sheer Zircon 19, which is a beigy-orangey-nudey-brownish-pink which may seem too dark when you're at the store but is quite neutral and looks amazing on. I got this colour because I wanted a neutral everday colour, but I did not want it to be very nude because it would wash out my skin tone. It is kinda pricey ($18 Canadian), being a higher end brand, but I think the small packaging kind of fools people because it actually has quite a bit of product in it, but not as much as most brands do. I am fine with the smaller amount of product because I normally don't use up all of my products, or it takes me a very long time, which I find annoying. This product also has amazing ingredients, if you are someone who cares about the quality of the products you put on yourself and pay attention to the ingredients. The packaging is also very cute and convinient. Even though it is moisturizing, I would reccommend to put either a clear gloss or lip balm over it to make your lips look even better. Overall, I would definitely reccommend it, even though you get a bit less product than most brands, you get a whole lot more quality!! :)

I LOVE these lipsticks! I used the Pur Minerals online make up consultant and it told me to buy Black Amethyst. So I purchased it and fell in love. It is the perfect deep red for autumn. It looks almost black in the tube, but it's quite sheer, so it looks more deep plum-red on the lips. Gorgeous. I was so pleased with Black Amethyst that I purchased 2 more colours- Pink Diamond and Rose Garnet.

Pink Diamond is a bit too pale for me. It's a light frosty cool pink- not too heavy. I look better in warmer pinks so this isn't the perfect shade for me, but I make it work by using very little and putting clear lipgloss over it. It looks really pretty when using that method, and it blends better into deeply pigmented lips like mine when it's diffused with a bit of lip gloss.

Rose Garnet is a frosty raspberry red colour with a bit of gold in it. It's a nice casual colour. It fades really nicely into almost a coral type colour. It looks nice on warm skin tones and it brings out brown eyes. Really pretty.

All colours are very moisturizing. They don't last forever on your lips- be prepared to reapply after you eat, but honestly, I'd rather wear something natural and good for you that you have to reapply over something toxic and bad for you that stays on all day.

I can't wait to try more colours!

Mauve Quartz: I received this in a kit on special with The Shopping Channel. I've worn lipsticks/gloss in mauve for years, so if this is supposed to have any 'mauve' tone, I'll eat my hat. At first I thought it was a sheer brown tone. It was creamy when applied, and I've come to really like this when I want a nude/sheer sort of look. It's actually quite neutral. I'm thinking of trying another shade or two, as the consistency is great. Definitely would buy again.

I could NEVER wear lipstick until this product came along. I am so happy because this stuff is fabulous. My friends who never saw me with lipstick have been asking me about it because my lips look beautiful with color and now are soft and not dried out. I hope they never stop doing this product and I have several colors and highly recommend this product for those that have lip problems like mine. Previous brands always shriveled up and look god awful within 10 minutes.I find that my color may need reapplied later during the day but that it always leaves my lips moisturized.

I tend to find a lot of lip products start to make my lips feel dry right away or after a little while. The two lipsticks I have from this line are really nice and creamy, moisturizing, and stay on pretty good. Lots of colors to chose from, and they go on light or with lots of pigment depending on the colors.

I have this product in Dusty Ruby and Rosasite. These are my favorites and I wear them most of the time. I made the switch to natural cosmetics a few months ago and it has helped my skin and allergies a lot. The Dusty Ruby is a darker reddish burgundy. It's just right for me for winter. It has a slight plum tone. The Rosasite is kind of the same shade, but more subdued and a little more plum than red. It is great for summer. These lipsticks aren't necessarily more moisturizing than your average lipstick, but I usually use Burt's Bees over them which helps. They are conditioning and I don't feel like I'm "eating" artificial lipstick. I'd recommend them.

I agree with all the glowing reviews here. I bought one of these Shea Butter lippies in Pink Diamond and I love it! Uber moisturizing and makes my lips as soft as silk! The color payoff of this particular shade on my medium pigmented lips is only fair, but that doesn't bother me in the least! I love the way it makes my lips feel. This is the BEST, most moisturizing lipstick (or balm) I have ever used in my life! It's been so good for my lips, I am itchin' to buy more of these. Not the cheapest ($15) balm or lipstick you can buy, but definitely worth every penny, IMHO! ♥ It's one of the rare few that doesn't irritate or dry out my sensitive lips in any way... so I will DEFINITELY repurchase!

These are REALLY nice, moisturising lip colours. I am very impressed that they are not all "frosty" as mineral lip colours tend to be. The colour choice is outrageous, from soft peaches to deep burgundies to hot pinks. All of them are highly pigmented so if you want a sheer lipstick, try their lip tints which have less colour.

As an aside, for a line that's not so expensive they really have super nice packaging. It's a $15 lipstick but looks like $20.

I don't know what made me look at this display in Ulta, but there I was ... swiping away like a mad woman.



Had I not taken such time looking over Pur Minerals display of lipsticks, I might not have found Crystal Peach, a gorgeous frosty (but not in an over-the-top sort of way) shade of bronzed peach. It is fabulous! I love everything about it, from the color (it's well pigmented, which is great, as my lips are pretty pigmented, as well), to the feel (I kid you not, it's like BUTTAH ... but way better than Clinique's Buttershines). I can't think of another l/s that I have that feels as moisturizing as this one -- I can't stop rolling my lips together!



The silver casing is smaller than your average lipstick, but in the way that mark.com lipsticks are -- full sized product hidden in a tiny tube. This cost me $15, and I'm trying not to run out the door to pick up another ...

i bought this in rubelite. and it's a bright burgundy color (i went to three different websites to make sure that this was the color i wanted, but this color still came out bad). it goes on really bright in a bad way. the color stays put and is a little difficult to wash off. and my lips were NOT moisturized after i used this product. i'll probably NEVER buy anything that's pur minerals brand anymore (their lip revival was pretty bad too).

The greatest lipstick I've ever used - and I'm really difficult when it comes to lipstick. Available in a great shade range - really natural colours. The staying power is not excellent, but it is very moisturizing and I love the fact that they are mostly all frost finish lipsticks. Would buy them all of I could!

Retails for $15 USD from www.purminerals.com


I have this in Sheer Zircon which is a pretty ylbb milky pinky nude shade. It's quite unique IMO. The formula is non-drying, and the lipstick glides on easily. This has no smell at all. I also like the petite size silver tube.

I'm a huge fan of Pur Mineral's lipsticks. They have great staying power, are not drying at all, and I've yet to meet a colour I didn't love.

I also like the smaller size tube, since I can then carry like 7,000 lipsticks in my purse instead of only 5,000 of the larger tubes. Important stuff!

I got two of these in a swap. They come in the smaller aluminum cases. They are fairly smooth,and the two colors I have are beautiful: Rosalite (dusty brownish rose) and Dusty Ruby (very pretty neutral shimmery red). I must say that the fragrace is perilously close to that of a lipstick gone "bad"... you know, that rancid smell? Don't know if I'd shell out actual money for it though.
