Black Rose Part 2

A few weeks ago I posted my first review/swatches for Black Rose Minerals, and mentioned that I had another order on the way already. And here it {finally} is! If you want more details on the shop itself, check out my first BRM post HERE.

:::  THE SPECS  :::

I took advantage of a sale that BRM was having at the time {a certain percentage off, I believe} and picked up eight sample baggies of eyeshadow and two full-size jars. My order was shipped before the stated TAT and it was packed full of goodies — stickers, Halloween things, etc — plus an order summary and two free samples. Samples come with 1/8-teaspoon of product in baggies or 1/4-teaspoon of product in 3-gram jars, at a cost of $1.00 each for baggies and $2.50 for jars. Full-size jars have 3/4 - 1 teaspoon of product if purchased without a sifter {which I did}, and cost $6.00 each.

:::  THE OPINIONS  :::

My experience with Black Rose Minerals the second time around was just as great as the first time. My favorites from this order are Starlight, Lady and Candy Floss, though they all look just lovely. I still recommend Black Rose Minerals — and if you shop today through Monday, be sure to take advantage of their Black Friday weekend sales {posted on their site}!

Stay Fabulous!
