I just got my samples last week. I have only tried the "Angel" finishing powder. I love it!
The samples are VERY generous in size.

I have sampled a lot of them. I can NOT wear MMU with bismuth so BE and many others are "out" for me". My current favorite is PureLuxe, which I love. However I didn't really like any of their finishing powders. Most left me too matte-looking (and with dry skin that means "too dry and ashy"). However a lot of other brands, the finishing powder (i.e. mineral veils) are too shiny/sparkly. The Signature Minerals "Angel" finishing powder is a light cream color and takes away some of the reddness of my skin. Love that!!!
Overall, it leaves my skin looking flawless and not overly shiny, but not too matte either. I like it, and will probably purchase the full-size.
Once I use some of the foundation samples, I will let you know how coverage compares to others I have used.

Well I have been using my Signature Minerals foundation samples all week, and thought I would get back to you with my thoughts.
I like this MMU alot. As much as PureLuxe, which is my favorite. Coverage is decent. The medium beige color I picked matches me perfectly. I love the ANGEL finishing powder. It leaves my skin looking flawless, but not shiny and not too dry. Also, this MMU wears very weel. It only looked better as the day went on. At night when I went to wash my face, I hated to do it because I still looked so good.
I would definitely buy this product....so go ahead and give the samples a try. I think you'll like it too.

thanks very much Lori!
great to see that u picked the correct colour on your first purchase.
i am very tempted to give this a try seeing as its free and i only have to pay for the shipping...im gonna do it . should get it by next week
seeing as i just ordered it now and cant really change the order...did u find that the foundation or concealers covered any scars/marks and acne? |

| I have used Signature minerals before as well. I think that they are nice products. Samples are large and easy to use since they are in the sifter jars. I like the yellow concealer for dark circles. The multi-purpose was a little too dark for me. As I remember, it gave pretty good coverage, just would have preferred it to be a little lighter. I don't have scar or acne issues but am trying to cover some pigmentation. I would not recommend the long handled kabuki brush since it sheds way too much. The concealer brush was good. Hope you enjoy the products. |

I actually picked out 3 different foundation shades. The middle shade is perfect so the shade that is a little darker will be good later this summer I hope.
I found the multi-tasking concealer too dark. I am trying to cover some brown spots (from sun damage) on my cheekbones. It's too dark so it makes them more obvious. I have found that mixing this multi-tasking concealer with the Angel finishing powder (about 50/50) works well to conceal these spots after applying the foundation.
I think the coverage is good, and if you pre-conceal with the foundation, you probably will be able to cover any marks you have.
Let us know how you like it. Have you tried other MMU before?
Lori
The multi-tasking concealer was a bit too dark for me, so I mixed it |

no i havent tried other MMU before, i dont usually wear makeup either...only a little bit of concealer for my pimples and scars. i cant be bothered getting up that early to do my makeup, cos the whole cleansing and moisturising taking at least 20minutes, incorporating makeup would at least take me a good hour! id rather sleep more 
i would love to try some other MMUs- Laura Mercier (if i can find a counter), PureLuxe, Lilylolo (cos its based in the UK). but i gotta see if my credit card can handle it!
will let u know how the Signature Minerals goes when it arrives! |

I bought a sample set...but I did six eye shadows.
I'm excited to try the shadows...I'm set on my MMU but I love buying sample sets with eyeshadows because they last forever! |

I layer Everyday Minerals (matte formula) over LM Tinted Moisturizer.
Though I might switch to the silk creme instead why my TM runs out  |

I had ordered a sample kit a while ago. It was IIRC $5.84 to ship to Canada.
I like the Tierra light eye shadow. I also ordered two other eye shadows, two concealers. I got a nice bronzer also (gran Marier?) that makes a nice eye shadow. I am quite happy with my foundations right now so I did not try the foundations.
I like Jenulence (former Alpha skin care) for a heavier coverage. I also like Lumiere Velvet veena for medium coverage. I have oily skin.
It is a nice sample kit; wrapped nicely and generous size jars of products. They also let you pick eye shadows. Quite a few sample kits do not let you pick eye shadows at all. (you could purchase separately.) This is one of the better sample kit offers IMO. |

Everyday is offering sample kits again?? I did order one last September (with a premium kabuki brush as an add on.) Is this your second order?
They have added new finishing powders (silk) and new foundation colours. I wish they would offer sample sizes like everyone. I would like to buy samples of blush and eye shadows (not mini sizes.) |

this is only my first order with them, however, a while back i tried to order but was refused by their website cos they didnt recognise my address.
so i tried again, emailing them my order and got thru.
maybe u can try emailing them for samples? |

i received my package!
i got 3 foundations and 1 soft mint concealer, 1 multitasking concealer and 1 light touch concealer. i didnt like any of the concealers as they were too light and seemed to draw attention to the spots and dark cirles.
as for the foundations, they kind of looked cakey on me, it looked like i had loads on. all of the three colours seemed to match my skin though, but it just looked really fake and unreal on my skin. but i will continue finishing the foundations, probably using a very very thin layer to even out my skin.
i did like the CS though. very friendly, fast efficient shipping and it was wrapped really nice with generous sized sample jars. but i dont think im going to re-order from them though |

| I have decided to NOT use the signature minerals as even usign it as a finishing powder makes my face look cakey and powdery...I have received the Everyday minerals and comparing the two, everyday minerals is a lot better |
