There is a difference in quality in various mineral makeup brands and formulations. Our sample size contains 1/4 teaspoon. Our 20 and 30 gram sifter jars are each completely filled to the sifter. Due to the differing weights of the minerals in each color, we feel the only fair manner in which to sell our product is to completely fill each jar. Please note that the 20 and 30 gram sizes are sold by volume and not by net weight. Please note that we do offer a combined shipping discount on all our listings for our Studio Direct Cosmetics Loose Mineral makeup. We supply our samples in jars and not cheap baggies so that you may use the jar as a travel jar.
