Mineral Makeup Sample Size Information

To My Dear Customers,

Today, it was brought to my attention that some customers maybe confused in regard to our mineral makeup samples based on the differences in the amount of mineral powders they receive in the jar.  So I decided to write a brief overview of the differences depending on the category of each mineral makeup sample chosen.

In each category except eye shadows (full size only), there is a description of the color with photos that are representative of a full size product, and not an indication of the amount a customer will receive in their sample.  Also, the estimated amount given is with a decimal point of the fractionated number.  Basically this is equivalent to 1/10th of the value weight to slightly more actually, a customer would receive in a full size product.  All samples come in a 5 gram sifter jar.

This is why portion size in the sample category will vary according to the parts of the face where applied, with the overall face being the largest area to cheeks being smaller, reflects why foundations and mineral veils almost fill the jar to capacity.  Yet if using the moist method for face, the color application and coverage will be more intense, whereby needing less product.

Samples will only last according to usage, dependent on how heavy or light an application technique is used.

It is my sincerest hope this has explained in detail why our generous sample sizes are prepared the way they are for the convenience of the customer.  I am confident that a sample size of any mineral makeup category purchased will be sufficient to experience and gain the best results to make an informed decision on whether or not an individual color or product will work for you.  In the a case of sensitive skin issues or wish to try different foundation formulas, purchasing two in your best shade is recommended to make sure all goes well before committing to full size.

Thank you to all of my loyal customers and to those joining us in the future.
