Swatches/Review: Star Crushed Minerals

If you read my mystery unboxing post yesterday, you already know that I got a little package from Star Crushed Minerals! They were having a 60% off Holiday sale and I just couldn't help myself!

I only got 3 colours since I haven't tried anything by them before. I picked Wine, Olive Pink and Electric Teal Nebula. It took a long time to get my package. I ordered this December 9th and received it January 6th. It didn't even get shipped for over a week. That is a bit long to me, but it was the holiday season so I will let it go.

The packaging of these is really plain. They also come in jars that I don't really like. The product can fall around the sides of the jar if you aren't careful. Shipping and packaging problems aside, the eyeshadows are amazing! They all have a really nice amount of sparkle in them. They also apply really well and blend easily. Here is a swatch of them on my arm with no base:

Sorry it isn't the clearest picture, but this really got the colours best.

Wine is a nice wine red shade with a bit of pink thrown in. Olive pink is a really interesting colour. It is like an olive brown tone with tons of red/pink shimmer in it. The last one, Electric Teal Nebula, is my favourite. It is an almost black base filled with tons of teal shimmer and sparkle! This is going to be my go to smokey eye shade in the future probably.

Overall I really like Star Crushed Minerals. While I'm not thrilled by the packaging or shipping, the actual product is really great quality! These all have an amazing sparkle in them that I think is very unique. The price is also quite reasonable. I ordered 2 large 2.5 gram jars and one smaller 1 gram jar. Normally the 2.5 gram jars are $10, but you do get a ton of product.

I am definitely considering getting more products from Star Crushed Minerals in the future, once my spending ban has been lifted. I think I would only get the 1 gram jars in the future though, unless I see a colour I love. I am glad I got the two large jars that I did though. Those shades are so pretty!

Have you ever tried Star Crushed Minerals? Did you like them?
