Black Rose Minerals No. 3 | Swatches

I love me some Black Rose Minerals. This was my third order, though I received it about three months ago already. Like all of my other purchases with BRM, I was very happy with everything. Since I've gone over the specs in my previews two posts, I'll just focus on the swatches in this one. To read the other posts about BRM, check out order #1 {here} and order #2 {here}.

:::  THE SPECS  :::

I ordered the following:
:::  A set of six sample jars for $12 {two were for me — Dusty Trails and Unicorn — and the rest for a friend}. These each come with 1/4-teaspoon in 3g jars, and you save $3 buy purchasing them in a set. I love these "create your own" options.
:::  One full-size jar of Enlightened — $6 for 1/2 to 3/4-teaspoon in a 5g jar with sifter.
:::  Received gracious sample baggies of the Luna collection as free extras.

:::  THE OPINIONS  :::

I love every single one of the shadows I ordered! The Luna collection is fantastic, and I already ordered full sizes of Luna and Blood Moon, which were my favorites. Unicorn is a great sparkly light purple, and Enlightened is a creamy off-white color with a nice edge of shimmer. Dusty Trails is a nice color, although the swatch I saw that led me to purchase this color showed a bit more sheen to it, whereas it's more matte than I thought it would be. However, I still like it! I give everything two thumbs up. :}

Stay Fabulous!

  1. Yay! I love Unicorn, it's a lovely color. I also love the luna collection, but I'm biased. XD
