Makeup Review: Star Crushed Minerals Shimmer Eyeshadows

While going through Instagram one night, as I'm sure most of do to kill time hehe, I happened to find the page for Star Crushed Minerals. From what I saw I just had to visit their site, and found amazing loose mineral eyeshadows in colours that are just out of this world! 

I bought 12 shadows to start with, the decision was so difficult! Lol! I loved most of the shadows, if not all...okay fine I love them all and plan to purchase all of them slowly, hehehe. I did only purchase the eyeshadow in the Shimmer collection, I will do more reviews as I purchase. There's also Fluorescent Pigments, Glitter Adhesive, Metallic Eyeshadows,  Mineral Glitters, Halo Glitters, Matte Eyeshadows, Mineral Foundations, Starbright Highlighters & Blushes. Every product looks amazing :)

Star Crushed Minerals Shimmer Eyeshadows

These shimmer eye shadows are soft, smooth & finely milled. On the site it said its milled by hand :) and can be worn as an eyeliner as well. You can apply this wet or dry. If wet, its recommended that you do not dip a wet brush straight into the pot to avoid bacteria growth, instead please tap some product onto the lid and then use a wet brush or add liquid to that. These shadows come in a pot with a sifter on it to prevent pigments from flying everywhere when opened. Due to that, I was unable to show the actual shadow powders, but if you would like a better look to each of them, go to their website listed bellow and go under 'Shimmer Eyeshadow' and find the colours by name. Fancy imaginative names I must say! The pictures there are much better & will give you an amazing glimpse of each :)

As you can see, I bought predominantly blues and purples. There's every colour imaginable on this site :) and shades & hues you probably never thought of !

I found that these shimmer eyeshadows blend beautifully, you can sheer it out by blending a lot & applying a little bit or build up the colour by packing it on. The colours are true to the pictures online, and show up on the eye exquisitely. Do use a eyeshadow primer of your choice to make it last longer & avoid creasing like with any other eyeshadows out there :)

All Star Crushed Mineral eyeshadows are paraben, sulfate, petrochemical, talc, cornstarch, bismuth oxychloride, fragrance, chemical & preservative free! This is a huge bonus & for me, this earns points. For all skin types*

I really recommend anyone who's into mineral products, or just anyone who wants products of fabulous quality to try these out!! 

These come in 2.5grams for $10.00, 1gram for $5.00  or 0.5 grams for $2.50  www.starcrushedminerals.com

I hope you all enjoyed this review/recommendation! Let me know what your thoughts were & if you have any further questions feel free to comment or email me!
