Lust Minerals is an affordable brand of mineral make-up, suitable for daily wear. Their
Loyalty Rewards Program is a points-based program which is higher value than most. You earn one point for every $10 spent, and can redeem 50 points for a $25 discount. This is the equivalent of getting five percent of the value of your purchase to put towards your next purchase. For comparison, most points-based programs give you back about one or two percent.
