Glo Minerals: You Want HOW MUCH for that Makeup?


gloMinerals

If you're like me, you enjoy finding new brands and unique products to try. A few years ago I came upon GloMinerals and requested some samples of their liquid mineral foundation for trial. They were very generous in sending several shades for me to try. The coverage was great, I liked the SPF factor (keep in mind, this was years ago before it became fashionable to include SPF in foundations and moisturizers), and a little went a long way. So, I bought a tube, and I liked it.

I've not really re-visited GloMinerals again, though, since that first and only purchase. Not because I wasn't pleased with the product, I just got caught up trying other up and coming foundations from other brands as I do with almost every beauty product (except for my few HG's which I ALWAYS have on hand - see side column). As it's Earth Month, I decided to take another look at the GloMinerals offerings and requested a catalog by mail. It arrived yesterday. I am still in a state of shock! They must be half out their minds ...


These prices are outrageous


Let's do a little product/brand price comparison, shall we? I'll compare GloMinerals products to similar products by better known brands:

Overall I'm just absolutely amazed that GloMinerals would be expecting to sell competitively with this kind of price discrepancy. Unless the products are made in gilded pots by magic fairies, I fail to see the justification for the high prices. And that's a real shame, as their products are very nice. This blogger finds the disparity too outrageous to allow me to purchase from them. What say you?
