Bette – a deep, velvety blue with hints of silver to add mystery
Act II Gift Set includes: All you need to create classic contoured cheekbones updated for natural, everyday wear
Harlow – a softly pearled highlighter with no obvious shimmer to brighten the skin and illuminate facial structure
Garbo – matte, neutral brown to create depth and drama with subtle contouring

I just signed up for Fig & Sage on my Google Reader. I would love to try Alima's Shimmering Blush, Color Balancing Powder, and definitely some of their brushes. A good brush is hard to find. :)
I would love to try their Satin Matte Foundation!
Thank you for the giveaway!

I'd love to try the Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow in Smoke!
PS-Email's in my profile :)
I learned that there are some truly nasty chemicals in a lot of cosmetics. It is hard to believe! For example, the "D and C Colorants" are toxic to the nervous and reproductive system.
That being said, I want to try everything from Alima! Especially the Black Cherry eyeliner. It is great that they are cruelty free as well!

I'd love to try it all! I've been researching mineral makeup and just looked at Alima yesterday. I found some great shadow colors and thought the Satin Matte Foundation looked great. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'd like to try the Zen Pearl Luster. I like that a little goes along way with Alima! I'm on a budget,but still want high quality products.

I am a shadow junkie ready to rid my makeup bag of all the MAC I own. I want to try some products with better ingredients that won't harm my body or it's functions! I've been hearing about Alima and I'm excited to try some of their products! I'd also be willing to give up my MAC cheek products too!!!!
Thank you for the chance!

I will try again as my first post isn't showing up!!! I am wanting to shed my makeup bags of all my MAC shadows....as I am a shadow junkie!! I'd prefer to try companies that use ingredients that won't harm my body!! I'd LOVE to try Alima as I've been reading about them!!
Thank you for the opportunity!

I am a reforming MAC junkie who's looking to switch out her makeup to companies who aren't using ingredients that will harm my body!! I am a shadow lover and am very excited to try some mineral shadows!!
Thank you for the opportunity!

I have not tried Alima but I was very exited when I read the last post about them. I would love to try everything, especially the concealer and any of the shadows. I am also looking to change all of my makeup to something I know doesn't contain harmful ingredients! Shadows are one thing I have not switched yet because it's hard to replace all of my colors affordably.
ALl the products look great but I'm really drawn to the beautiful colors in the luminous shimmer blushes.
All the products look wonderful but I'm really drawn to the beautiful colors in the luminous shimmer blushes.
I have always heard of Alima, but have yet to try any of their products. If given the opportunity I would love to try the Satin Matte Foundation, Nourishing Lipbalm, and of course a ton of other things. I know that not all mineral makeup is created equal because I have seen a lot of mineral makeups containing talc and a bunch of other ingredients that I would not put on my face because I know it is terribly bad. The fewer ingredients the better in my opinion, but of course you still have to watch out for those bad things. Well, thanks S & E for putting on this giveaway and best of luck to all!!!
I'd love to try Alima Pure because I'm trying to replace all my Clinique and Lancome products with natural ones and Alima Pure sounds like a really great company. I'm also searching for the perfect shadows to make the perfect smokey eye. I'd love to try the shimmer eyeshadow in smoke!
Some mineral makeups have things like pthalates and parabens. Alima Pure does not. Nice!

It's often hard to find a mineral make-up line that has great colors, Alima Pure does. I would love to try the Luminous Shimmer eyeshadow.

I would love to try the rivers collection. I am new to the whole makeup thing, and it would be great to have amazing stuff to put on my skin!!

I never tried mineral make up but would love to try the concealer

I would absolutely love to try Alima Pure. I have not tried them yet and I am always on the lookout for make-up that is pure minerals and has great colors. Thanks for a great giveaway!

i would love to try the Satin Matte Foundation for my mature skin.Never used mineral make up. And i learned that only 2 American Companies have the BDIH Seal and Alima Pure is one of them.
Sounds great , keeping my Fingers crossed :) thanx
The satin matte foundation sounds nice.
I would love to try Alina mineral makeup. I used bare essentials for awhile, until it made my face break out and I learned about what's actually in it. Alina looks like great makeup!
I'd love to try the Nourishing Lipbalm in Pomegranate.
I would love to try Alina mineral makeup. I'm currently a distribution for another line of makeup, but I am always game to try something new!

I really enjoy mineral makeup,

change brands/company that i buy from.
I would really like to try these products:
Cool 5Satin Matte Foundation
Beige Concealer
Medium Balancing Primer Powder
Expresso Satin Matte Eyeliner
Nectarine Lip Balm
I would love to try their pearl lustre eyeshadows. I currently use another mineral foundation, but I'm tempted to try theirs, too!
I'd like to try the "Illusion" luminous shimmer eyeliner
Now that we've accepted that gifts are the center of christmas,deciding what to give and how to get it comfortably and affordably deserves some reflection,especially considering that there are only 39 shopping days left until christmas."Giving presents is a talent;to know what a person whats,to know
when and how to get it,to give it lovingly and well.We should remember that christmas is not all about gifts about about uncondional love,selflessness.trust.faith.forgiveness.wholeness.compassion.second chances.comfort joy.peace.reassurance.rejoicing.generosity.chartity.wonder.hope.accpetance.courage.This is my letter to the world.
Let's give something that is given to us and we will save life and give each other a change of new start to a new whole of this thing we call life..
I liked the whole line..I will be grateful for anything I can win.I enjoy the gift collections.If I win it I shall give it to a person..with a heart who can't afford to look beautyful even thru she is..with or without makeup..She lives in a homeless shelter is looking for work..I would love to give her something that will make her feel more confident..
Merry christmas to whole winner lineups.
I'd love to try the Satin Matte foundation. I've used Bare Minerals and PUR mineral foundations before and I love them, however, Bare Minerals doesn't blend well for me--it gives me a powdery look. PUR blends in and looks more natural, but it's quite a bit heavier than the BM. I was actually thinking of shopping around and trying something new just to see if there was anything better out there.
I would like to try two things: the Color Balancing Powder (to get rid of some redness) and the Satin Matte Foundation. They offer these two in trial sizes for only a dollar so I'm already tempted to order them!

i would love to try the satin matte shadows, especially rain!
I just started using Alima a week ago. I really like it so far. They have so many color options for foundations. I ordered several samples and found a great color for my skin. I have wondered how to contour my cheekbones, so I would love to try their Act II Gift set.
I would love to try out their Satin Matte Foundation, it sounds awesome! Also the eyeshadow in Aubergine, oh heck I'd love to try it all =] kmg1128 @live.com

Fabulous site! The Satin Matte Foundation looks awesome!
I'm a sucker for a good lip balm so I would love to try Alima's nourishing lip balm. It's also hard to come by a good brush or two for applying make-up so those looked great also.
The shimmmer eye liner looks WONDERFUL! And the brushes are awesome! They look like they would be perfect with all make up application.
Thanks for the great giveaway! I love use mineral make up for my face and I love it. I won't use anything else. I love how light weight it feels and how natural it looks.

mandee220(at)aol(dot)com
I have never tried this. I would love to see what the chai eyeshadow looks like.
I love mineral make-up. It feels so light on my skin while providing great coverage, not to mention how much better it is for my skin than traditional make-up. NO CHEMICALS! The colors you are offering are beautiful. I would love to have this. Thanks for the opportunity.
I currently use bare minerals & I love it, but also love trying new things-
I would love to try their nourishing lip balm, I have such dry lips in our altitude!
I would loooove to try the Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow in Nigella! That color looks gorgeous!

I'd love to try the Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow. I've never tried mineral make-up before. Thanks!
I would love to try the Grace Pearluster Eyeshadow. I have never tried these products, but would love to! I learned that the U.S. FDA has only banned 10 chemicals that are considered unsafe in cosmetics, while the European Union has banned 1000 chemicals! This company has far better standards than most! Thanks!
I would love to try the concealer!

I am going to try the concealer...I have a lot to conceal! I love they have small samples, which I am going to order and try. I have tried so many mineral makeups and some have really caused problems so I am tickled to be able to try the samples first! Going to order a few now

I would love to try the Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow or the Satin Matte Foundation.

I've been hearing so much about mineral makeup lately, I'm almost embarrassed to admit I haven't tried any yet. Hopefully I will win this giveaway and rectify that! If not, then I believe I'll have to dip my toes slowly into mineral makeup, and try the Satin Matte Blush first.

I just received my first order for Alima and I love my new powder foundation. I use it to set liquid foundation or on days when I don't want to use as much make-up. I'd love to try more of their products--particularly the eyeshadows.
Thanks Fig and Sage! I learn so much from you two! I love receiving your updates!
:) Jeana
id love to try the Nourishing Lipbalm
would love to try the shadow in cassis!
I love Alima make-up. The best is that the mineral eye shadow can be used both wet and dry. I have some of the eyeshadow samples, and some of the foundation. I would love to try some of the lip balm or the shimmer powder!
Alima uses no additives, fillers or fragrances in their make up. I would love to try the Plum eyeshadow.
I would love to try the Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow in Stone.
annemarie562000(at)yahoo(dot)com
I've never used mineral makeup before but the Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow from Alima Pure in Aria & Azure look gorgeous! They would rock with the Luminous Shimmer Eyeliner in Nuit. I think I'll order samples of these next time. Thanks for the tip!
I would love to try the Rivers Collection. I have been wearing mineral makeup for the past year. I like it, but I don't love it. Would love to try these products and hopefully love it!
