Comments on: Naked Minerals Gives Out Free Samples! http://www.themineralmakeup.com/naked-minerals-gives-out-free-samples/07/04/2007/ Everything about mineral makeup is here!

It doesn't contain bismuth oxychloride. I absolutely LOVE it! It blends really well and my skin looks and feels so much better. I've had acne since my teens, and have struggled to find a makeup that doesn't "encourage" any more breakouts, but the TruMinerals brand has helped tremendously. I love it so much, that when they offered me the opportunity to start selling it in a home party format, I jumped at the chance! I'm not just saying it's so great because I sell it now, like I said, I used it for many months before I started and the colors are beautiful and natural looking.

Is it really better that bare minerals. i use to have bare minerals but it left me to shiny and in a very pink glow. i did not like it. i have also been looking at the before and afters pics of naked minerals. they are amazing. There is also a video of a woman named Laura putting on the makeup and there is a transformation. I dont have problems with bismuth so i was wondering should i invest $126.00 in the fundamental collection (almond) of naked minerals?

But I'm a little nervous about the Bismuth too. So I'd love to hear some feedback from anyone about how they liked it(or didn't like it) before I purchase their "free" sample. So please let us know if anyone tried NAKED MINERALS? and let us know what you think. thanks, I’m very curious if anyone has tried the Naked Minerals and what they think of them.

My skin got itchy and horribly dry. I broke out in a rash on both cheeks. I'm SHOCKED as well that they market this crap as "natural" and it costs an arm and a leg. For those of you who developed cystic acne, you should seriously thinking of suing Bare Minerals. Good luck. Also, I'm trying Joppa mineral makeup -- bismuth oxy free! I'll tell you how it goes.

I'm so upset because I ended buying the Supreme Kit (valued at $180) - got it brand new on ebay for $110 because I was so sure this was the makeup for me. No more messy loose minerals (and I can't use any loose minerals with Bismuth, & just recently found out that Mica is also a irritant to my skin too). So I have to be so careful what I use. Well like all of you said they never really say what the ingredients they use, they just say they're the most natural pure minerals. So when I got my Naked Minerals, I saw the ingredients listed on the box, and lo and behold, Bismuth and Mica!!!! Are they kidding me!! Now I haven't opened anything up and thinking about reselling it because I'm so afraid to try it. But does anyone know if perhaps maybe the pressed mineral formulation reacts differently to the skin vs. the loose minerals formulation? Has anyone tried NAKED MINERALS and had a skin reaction similar to the reactions people have reported when using Bare Minerals (Bare Escentuals)? Thanks so much for anyone's feedback.

Does anyone have any feedback on Truminerals? They sell on ebay and have their own website. I recently ordered some of their stuff and it'll be arriving next week. I hope to post my own feedback here soon. I've been a user of Luminare for about 3 wks now, and although I've been happy with the "cosmetic" appeal of the product, I have been getting the ITCHIES tho thankfully no rashes or anything else. Also, I found a baby kabuki in Beauty Bar (P475) and the salesgirl claimed it was made of sable. Yes, it was really soft and blended my minerals really well, but sadly, it was shedding too... Hi!

Bare Minerals has made my skin a complete mess. After many tears, lost confidence, and hundreds of dollars on topicals and oral antibiotics I finally began to research the "minerals" in the makeup. I was so angry to find that bismuth oxychloride, the first ingredient listed on the label to be a cheap filler that is a by-product of lead and copper that is rarely found in nature, it is very heavy and and difficult for people with sentive skin to wear. and why in the world would bare minerals not warn sensitive customers of this ingredient? profits? Rosacea-support.org has a list of non-bismuth oxychloride mineral make-up as well as a list of make-up containing bismuth oxychloride. I am currently testing Larenim mineral make-up which is free of bismuth,and works ok as a concealor with a small drop of jojoba oil, too soon to tell if i am going to have a breakout, but i have read some great reviews and i am keeping my fingers crossed, by the way i purchased it at a local health food store. Larenim also has a great website. one more warning, some people are also highly sensitive to micas which can be very abrasive. good luck molly i feel your pain and i am so sorry that you had this same bad experience with Bare Minerals.

There are absolutely no additives, and no bismuth oxychloride, the ingredient in Bare Minerals that may be irritating your skin (it is a by-product of processing lead and copper). Their foundation also has anti-inflammatory properties from natural skin calming ingredients (again, see their website). They sell samples for only $2.00 so you can try them and not have to invest a lot of money. The make up is fantastic and totally natural looking. I don't think there is a thing in this makeup that can harm your skin and it will probably help it. Good Luck! I use mineral foundation from Afterglow (you can buy them directly from their website).
