The best powder blush. Others have made me break out. It's not too dry/powdery looking and not too sparkly.

For years I'd been using the blush from Kohl's makeup line, but the ingredients are horrible. So I decided to try this because I loved their 4-in-1 powder foundation. My main complaint is that it really doesn't blend well over the foundation, or in general. Maybe it's too chalky? However, their pigments are strong, so a little goes a long way = longer lasting. And the ingredients are slightly better than standard blushes, which makes it lean heavily in its favor for me.

I just bought this with my 20% off at Ulta in Polynesian pink and I think it might be an ok dupe for Nars o. The price was great and I love the color it's gorgeous peachy sort of pink and it shimmers but much less so on the cheeks. I only have one issue with it and that's that it kind of dissolves when a brush touches, there's a lot of fall-out from the packaging which is kind of a waste, but I still love it, I might need to try other colors now!

I was given this product for christmas and I've carried it with me in my makeup bag ever since. I have naturally rosy cheeks and this blush (in a light pink) does a good job of blending out the natural red and defining the cheek bone.

It's a very natural color and can contour without looking fake. I would recommend it for a quick, easy, natural look. However - this product will not layer and does not always play nice with other makeups. When I used bare mineral foundation powders, it was phenominal - but when used on top of other foundations (makeup forever, color stay, smashbox tinted moisturizer...) it seems to 'sit'.

This company makes very pretty blushes, especially in the limited edition palettes they've been coming out with lately. The colors are pigmented, soft, and wearable. It really livens up my face. My only complaints are the lack of shade range and the packaging. While the packaging is sturdy and easy to work with, it looks very cheap. I'd like to see them re-vamp the blush packaging to resemble the new foundation compacts. One thing I do like about the packaging is the clear lid. I like knowing which color I'm grabbing without turning it over first.

i have this blush in cherry opal. i'm nw43 in mac so pretty brown. this blush shows up beautifully against my skin. i wear meow minerals foundation but hadn't found a blush in that line that was flattering on me. i wanted a mineral blush and the pur minerals rep in ulta had me try this one on. i'm glad i did. really this is the only blush i wear and sometimes i layer it with the bronzed blush by the same line. to me the color looks natural and just gives a healthy glow. even with my oily skin it lasts. i really haven't looked for another blush since getting this. i like that it lasts, plays well with others and is also a good stand alone product.

I have this in "Roselite", the color is peachy-rosy, though it is a little bit more peachy than it is pink. The color look very natural on my cheek, my complexion is light-medium with a neutral/yellow undertone. I apply the blush lightly to get a very sheer natural looking color or apply more heavily for more color, but I don't think it looks too fake or too dramatic even applying alot. The blush fades a little bit by the end of the day, but that's okay with me since it looks natural anyways and there's still a bit of color left, you can always retouch it if you want more color. I love the more natural ingredient since it's mineral, I feel more safe using it everyday on my face. I don't know if I'll be repurchasing since I only use a little bit each time so I think it would last for a long time.

I have this blush in "Copper Sienna" and it is a gorgeous coral/rose color. This blush is very pigmented, and a little goes a VERY long way. use this with a light hand, and it gives you the most beautiful, natural color ever.

Love this stuff. I have it in "Pink" and it leaves such a nice, dewy finish on your cheeks, and adds just the right amount of colour them without making it look like your stuck in the '80's. And it blends very very well and doesn't leave a tell-tale line. Looks very natural.

i would like to start by saying i would not pay the full price of 16 dollars for this small blush but there is always a sale going on plum ademite is a nice purple based color and roselite is a pink/coral. this blush is great for a natural look but i do have to apply quite a few layers to get a more dramatic effect. i see this as an overall pro because i have a tendency to put my blush on too heavily. this way i can gradually build until i get my desired effect. the blush comes in a case with a mirror which isokay but there is also a brush inside that to me is pointless since it is so small . overall this blush goes on smoothly and stays on well. pur minerals is a cruelty free company and i highly recommended their products.

update: overall not very impressed with these. i wont be repurchasing
check out the universal powder in pink though its a great pink blush in a better large compact.

I picked up this blush in Roselite and I absolutely love it. Its difficult finding a good shade with my pale complexion that isn't too bright or so understated it doesn't show up at all. Roselite is a pinkish brown that applies easily and leaves just the right amount of color. It goes nicely with my Pur Minerals foundation and you can tell that they are formulated to work together. Its pricey (I think) at $15 for a little round pan. With my oily complexion and tendency to break out just looking at most blushes, its worth it for me.

I lreally like it, better than loose blush as you don't waste as much. I have roselite and diamond rose goes well with my bare escentuals makeup. I just wish they had more colors.

I have this in Sienna Copper and I am looking forward to buying more of these blushes. They are quite highly pigmented and go on very smoothly over mineral makeup. They don't go on quite as nicely over liquid foundation. But when I wear my Pur Minerals foundation, they are the best. They last long and keep their color.

I bought the blush in Plum Adamite because it was on sale on the website for $3.75 I think. I really liked the packaging at first because it opens on both sides with the top being the pigment and the bottom a mirror and a brush inside. The brush is so cheap and ugly that it really ruined everything overall. So the blush looks very dark pigmented but when I tried swatching it barely showed up. And on top of everything it has a funny smell. I'm very disappointed :-(

I have this blush in Plum Adamite--might be one of the newer colors.
Anyhow, it is a plum-brown shade, very close in color to Benefit's Dallas, but much easier to use, since it's pressed. Also cheaper!
Also like the flip-top lid on this, makes it wasy to use and travel with.

So many of their blushes have flecks of silver-colored glitter in them. If I want to look luminescent, I'd prefer something that looks classy -- not tacky! The SA were pushing the Pur cosmetics like crazy at Ulta. Give me a break, this stuff is cheap looking and I'd never buy it!

Pür Minerals Pressed Powder Blush comes in the standard Pür Minerals brushed silver (lately, sometimes black), double-welled, round compact with a see-through lid on top and a brush and mirror in the bottom. I automatically throw out the scratchy little brush housed in the useless bottom compartment, wishing the mirror would be under the lid of a sleeker compact with a snap closure. Pink Sapphire is a very natural looking, cool, medium pink shade. Neither matte nor shimmery, it gives freshness and a healthy glow to the face, never looks chalky and has excellent staying power. Pür Minerals seems to have discontinued this winning shade. Hope they will be replacing it with an even better one before I run out of mine! :)

I am a 52 yr old with a very oily T-zone, huge pores, red blotches and some breakouts. I wanted to use mineral make-up but I'm too much of a clutz to manage the loose powders. That's why I really really like the 4-in-1 Pur Minerals foundation compact, as well as the compact blushes. I can carry it in my purse without worrying about spillage. I can sneak a quick re-apply by barely opening the compact and using the sponge to reapply to problem areas. I have to be careful not to apply too much as it can become cakey and overdone. Just use a light touch. BUT MY PROUDEST MOMENT from using this makeup was when my employer decided to give us photo-id cards. They put us in a poorly-lit room with some other employee taking a quickie digital photo...no time to primp. All my other co-workers' photos are horrible, but mine looks like my face was air-brushed. I wear my I.D. Badge proudly as I know my photo looks GOOD thanks to the mineral make-up. (I use Light foundation powder and Pink Sapphire Blush.)

They come off a little colour intense in the packaging, but go on really sheer and naturally. Last all day and don't look "powdery" on the skin. I have Pink Sapphire and Sienna Copper. I just wish there were more colours to choose from...!
