So after 3 or 4 tries ... I gave up and kept these oh-so cute pots in my drawers. Buttt ... then I discovered Mac Shadesticks !!!! This stuff is in my opinion the best shadow base I've never tried ! It made a total difference to my eye make up ! For exemple today I'm only wearing pure luxe shadows on my lids ( white diamonds, charisma, risque and bubblegum), applied dry over beige-ing and Crimsonaire shadesticks ! The result is marvelous ... for real. The s/s seems to make the pigments "stick" very well and it stays put all day long. No more fall out or dull pigment shadows ! Now I loooooove to wear my pure luxe and Mac pigments because I found it as easy to use as regular shadows. ^_^' Hope this helps 'cause it completely change my pigment make-up life ! hahaha xoxoGraziellaxoxo

They are even better with MAC paints which give a better color payoff or try Krylon AquaColors for very intense payoff. The key is a definite paint, shadestick kind of base, the richer or deeper the more payoff you will recieve.

I recently bought 14 eyeshadow & 2 blush samples from Pure Luxe - and I love love love them. I will be back on their website (which isn't user friendly however for the price of the pigments/shadows, I can live with it!) very shortly to buy some more!
I use UDPP, then either a shadestick or preferably a NYX jumbo crayon (much better than the shadesticks). I then wet my brush with mixing medium (1 part glycerine + 2-3 parts water) (and dab excess on a small cloth), and dip into the pigment. I press this onto my eyelids (packing it on). Give it a few minutes to dry and then blend with a little more shadow/pigment on dry brush this time.
No fall out & the colour is startlingly vibrant, and lasts all day long without creasing or fading. Give it a try and you will be amazed!
As for the blush - I thought they were good (maybe not HG, but still good to have) - just apply lightly after applying setting powder - if you do it before, the pigment 'catches' on the moisture from the foundation and won't apply smoothly.

I find the quality of these e/s totally lacking. Compared to other loose pigments, these are just so sheer and muddy. I get frustrated every time I work with them! I'll stick to MAD x.x

Has anybody tried their Eraser?

 

[shonntew]

I have the eraser and I love it. It really smooths out skin and erases pores. I got a sample in the spring and I am almost out and need more. I will probably purchase the full size this time

Do you mean the cream or powder one? I have samples of both, but I haven't tried them out yet. How do you apply the cream one? I've been a strict mineral makeup user for so long it feels weird to use a non powder product on my face..

I've been using their loose powders quite some time know and i don't use anymore normal loose powders. I don't think PL powders are that much better but i can't use talc because it cloggs(not sure if that's the right word, so please correct my language ^^)my pores and causes zits which is not very nice. It took me some time and testing before i realized what the problem was

So i now use their loose powders and like them very much. I also like their foundation which i've been meaning to buy but i have already "few" foundations which needs ro be used

And finally to the eyeshadows. I love the colour selection. I've ordered some samples and like the intensivity of the colours.

 

[shatteredshards]

Actually, PL has been nothing but disappointing to me, and I first found them just out of high school (I'm 25 now, so figure that's a few+ years ago). And after figuring out that my favorite color, as sheer as it applies, is actually an exact dupe to a TKB pigment, which, ironically, applies better straight out of the bag? I feel jilted.

That's just my $0.02.

There have been rumors that many of Pure Luxe's shadows are repackaged. I bought some samples before I knew and weren't overly impressed. Then I read Grey's review on the company (Pure Luxe Cosmetics – A Review Gothique) and now I'm staying clear of the website for good.

The owner actually left a pretty nasty comment on MineralMakeupMutiny (Rainbows, Skittles, Gumballs, Brights, ROYGBIV? Join the Mineral Makeup Mutiny!) and actually threatened to sue. I understand why she'd be unhappy, but imho anyone who resorts to baseless phony legal threats are the worst (think Lime Crime).
