Disappointing Products: Pur Minerals

'Beauty - pur and simple'? Not so much. I saw a forum posting about a sale and zipped over to the website to check it out. I was willing to overlook that their products are overpriced because I have seen good reviews on Pur. Then I started reading their ingredients lists. I do give them a thumbs up for an ingredients listing on all of their products. Unfortunately, most everything I looked at has Parabens and/or Bismuth - which is an allergen for a lot of people (including myself) that can cause redness and insane itching.

You get the drift. The only product line I found that didn't have Parabens was their eye shadow, and those do contain Bismuth. Always remember to look at the ingredients list when buying products!
Excuse me while I scratch...
