My Thoughts

These loose shadows come in plastic jars with a sifter, making it fairly easy to slowly pour some product onto the lid. I find that these shadows are very opaque–unless stated otherwise on the website, some colors say they are sheer–they are easy to blend and are buildable. Since they are loose shadows, one worries about fall out, I didn’t have any issues, but I have the tendency to always tap off the excess on my brush–so fall out was no issue.
The eyeshadows can be used wet or dry, which is always a plus! And I haven’t found myself making a huge mess…yet!

Currently, Madison Street Beauty is having a huge sale, 60% off select products. You can purchase a Regular Mineral Eyeshadow for $2.00!! Definitely worth checking out! And there are hundreds of colors to pick from!
I love these shadows SO much, I went ahead and placed an order for more shadows and a few blushes. Anyone want a review?

Swatches

Top Row: Sandcastle, Amethyst

Bottom Row: Burnt Copper, Posie, Eclair

Here are a couple of looks I’ve created over the last month!

Coppery, Bronzed Look

This look is extremely easy to recreate and so quick to do. I’ve been loving this look lately and have worn it several times.

I started by applying Burnt Copper over my entire eyelids, messily, nothing precise.
I then took a clean blending brush and lightly blended the shade onto my crease, creating a fading effect.
Lastly I took Sandcastle, and swept that on my brow bone as well as dusting it with a blending brush over my crease a bit, enhancing that fading effect.

Super easy and in trend for Spring!

Soft, Neutral Look

I’ve been loving this look for everyday wear, it’s soft, neutral with a nice coppery feel.

I applied Burnt Copper to the inner third of my eyelids.
Taking Eclair, I applied that onto the outer third of my lids and onto the crease. With a blending brush, I started buffing the color outward.
I then added a bit more Eclair onto the outer third of my eyelid just to deepen the look a bit. I also took it down to my lower lash line, as well as Burnt Copper.
I then used a mixture of Sandcastle and Posie as my highlight.

Another easy look, great for someone on the go!

Smokey Purple Look

My husband and I just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary, although his crazy work schedule didn’t allow us to do much, we managed to go out for dinner. Here’s the look I came up with.

I started by taking the shade Mauve from the Lorac Pro palette and using that as my crease color.
I took Amethyst and placing that on my eyelids, concentrating the color on the inner and outer corners of my lids.
Taking a wet brush, I packed the shade Posie on the center of my eyelids.
I placed Amethyst on my lower lash line as well.
Taking Sandcastle, I placed that on my brow bone and diffused some of the crease shade.
