I got some sample pots from a firm called SheerMiracle.com in the States - it's excellent, and the set of brushes you can also buy is a bargain with the exchange rate at the moment.

I'm really pleased with the foundation powder, but the eyeshadow shades aren't quite as nice as they looked in the photos, but that's just a personal view. Can recommend them on the strength of SusiQ alerting us to them in the first place!

On the other hand, I haven't tried Bare Escentuals yet, but they're supposed to be nice too.
