Purely You Minerals
Handmade!
The finest all natural ingredients! No talc, powdered starches, clays, bismuth oxychloride, parabans or nano sized particles (looking all this up on the internet…….). 100% gluten free and Purely You never tests on animals.
That’s what got my attention. I DO NOT like to play around with my FACE. And yet as a reviewer, I am constantly putting new product on my skin. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. However, I felt safe with Purely You because of the ingredients.
My lips bloomed with Purely Blushing Lips.
Not to light, not too red, this is a lovely lip gloss. For my eyes – Bare, a charcoal grey that lit my eyes up lightly. The Purely Mauve Blush and Purely Bronze bronzer were also light, but put enough color on my cheeks and cheekbones that I loved the look without the heaviness of regular makeup.
For my skin foundation
I chose Cool Fair as I am ivory skinned in complexion but I love a little pink tint so that I don’t look like Snow White (I like the Dwarves though, they are coming along nicely as butlers and cooks).
If you are a mineral makeup person like me, this is an excellent product. I am getting too old to wear a foundation that looks oily or heavy on my skin, and I don’t like ANYTHING on my skin. My compromise has been mineral makeup. I really liked the sample colors I received and I can get more creative with mineral. I can try different tones for daylight and nighttime. Although I don’t go out on the town like Broad Z, I do go out occasionally and the lighting is totally different.
I give a high five to Purely You Minerals.
I have tried other mineral makeups and have usually thrown them out for different reasons. I have very sensitive skin and I’m not much of a girly girl; I never wore any makeup until I was in my 40’s and even now I don’t wear it a lot. The ease of application and the colors of Purely You have changed my mind! I plan on a little Girl Time with Z in the future so she can show me how to apply mascara (honestly, I never learned and eyeliner is torture for me – I get it all over the place.) But back to the topic – this is a makeup that will not mask your face, but enhance it!
Purely You Minerals are available for purchase on their website.

We received product for this review.. All opinions are our own.
Great article! Your link to Purely You seems to be broken….
I love natural products and am ALL ABOUT natural makeup.
I LOOOVE Glam Girl Naturals Cosmetics. They are all natural, gluten-free and have a whole line that is all gluten-free, cruelty-free and 95% vegan! They are great for my sensitive skin, and still provide GREAT coverage! I am so happy that I found them and I highly recommend them!
I suffer from breakouts and I quite like a full coverage, would the Purely You minerals be suitable for me? Bearing in mind I want to cover my flaws!
Thank you
Hi Kelly,
Just to be on the safe side, I’d chat with the folks at http://www.purelyyouminerals.com/. Our reviewer is in her 60’s, so there wasn’t the opportunity to text for coverage from breakouts.

Nice ingredients! Non toxic has to be better.
I’ve never spent loads of money on makeup or face creams and not sure if I would. I find some of the dead sea mineral products nice to use. Have you any thoughts on such products?
I just want to say first off that Glam Girl Cosmetics is reviewing their own products and recommending them on celiac blogs 🙁 not a fair critique at all.
I tried them myself and feel duped 🙁 I would love to return the whole lot, but of course can’t because I tried them. Just want to save someone else from what I went through.
All of the container of makeup are very small, very very small. I wear makeup everyday, and would have to buy tones of it to feel like I wasn’t going to run out.
The foundation and concealer are insanely thick, they don’t spread at all. (With either a brush or fingers.) which makes you need to use even more of the tiny container to try and do your whole face. And the powder doesn’t fair much better just sticking to the clumpy foundation in spots and not blending at all.
Very disappointing. Although I must admit their lipstick is lovely, through not as pigmented as I would have liked. I tried many colours and they all went on very sheer. But felt lovely on.
Hope that helps, just put an order in with ZuZu cosmetics, hope I get it before the holiday parties coming up! Would hate to have to wear the clumpy mess I have, or even worse makeup with gluten eeeek!
Hi Toni W.,
You shouldn’t really be going around talking negatively. I am the supervisor for Customer Relations at Glam Girl Naturals Cosmetics. A few of our loyal customers who come across reviews found your NEGATIVE comments on 2 sites, and I had to find these and set the record straight.
Your ordered a few samples of foundation(very small because it is a SAMPLE SIZE) and samples of eyeshadows, are what the facts are. You ordered a LOOSE MINERAL SAMPLE size, 1 lipstick sample, a 2-in-1 sample, and some eyeshadows. The Glam Girl Loose Mineral Foundation sample you ordered is a fine mineral powder- that GLIDES ON YOUR FACE. So- you didn’t order any thing that would “clumpy foundation” as you put it. So there is your first lie.
You mentioned you ordered foundation, lipstick and blush, and that too in full size? You only ordered samples- 1 lipstick sample, 1 loose mineral foundation sample, and NO blush samples- so how can you write a review when you didn’t even use it? Anyone who HAS used our blush LOVES that it’s botanical properties help condition their skin, and that it has a slight shimmer, so it gives you that added glow. And here you are, lying. Second lie.
You appreciated our lipstick(s) saying it’s lovely- your ordered Divine- that is a nice and richly pigmented color of a lipstick, so to hear you saying that, is a little shocking. But we do appreciate your positive words on the lipstick. They truly are amazing, gluten-free, cruelty-free, and leave your lips soft, with the ultra-luxe moistness from our lipsticks!
You mentioned that our products don’t last that long- you ordered SAMPLES. Sorry, but our samples -as with any company’s samples- even if you use a few times a day, they can last at least a few days. I have had customers using their eyeshadow samples and lipstick samples for at least 4-5 days before they run out. But when it comes to Full size- our sizes of our Glam Girl Loose Mineral Foundation, and Creme Mineral Foundations are comparable to that of Bare Minerals foundation size- and let me tell you- they last super long!! So you always get your money’s worth. The same goes for our richly pigmented eyeshadows, gel liners, lipsticks, lipliners- all our sizes are comparable to what you see out there, so rest assured, if you had gotten the real size, it would have lasted you A LONG TIME!!
We wished you would have addressed your concerns to us at contact@glamgirlnaturals.com. We are always committed to excellence, and to serving our customers in the best way possible. We have mostly rave reviews on our products, so if there was something that you didn’t like in your SAMPLE ORDER, and if something concerned you regarding our FULL SIZE products, you could have directly contacted us, and we would have been very happy to help you with your concerns.
We stand by our products 100%, and by our customers- the ones that are HONEST and true- and are sorry that anyone was falsely lead by your negative lies. However, just go to our website and see the testimonials for yourself. You will see what our customers really think.
Sincerely,

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or
something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that,
this is magnificent blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
