eyeshadow samples

Ok, so I have something else to write about today. lol I ordered some mineral eyeshadow samples from a couple of sites and got one of them today in the mail. I also have been ordering eyeshadows from this one site that the company is being discontinued, but the lady is going to do something else with make up, just not quite the same thing. The eyeshadows from there were already really cheap but now they're a little cheaper so I have been snatching them up since it's being discontinued. I can't wait 'til those start rolling in! The website for that is www.theshespace.com.
Anyway, back to the samples I got today. The samples came from Taylor Made Minerals, www.taylormademinerals.com. I ordered five samples and even got another one for free. I was like, "what's that one? I didn't order it?" Plus it was in a baggie and I ordered my samples in jars. So the colors are really pretty and glittery/shimmery, which I LOVE! I swatched them on my hand to see what they looked like and then took pictures but it didn't really show up in the pictures. Maybe I'll try it again tomorrow in natural light or different light. And maybe even try it on my arm instead of my hand. So I just took pictures of them in the jars. The colors I ordered were all white except one, weird that I ordered almost all white. But they were really pretty and sparkly so that's why I ordered almost all white. The colors are called: Glitz, Diamonds, Platinum, Pearl, and Sweetheart. And then the free one I got is called Allure. Pearl has the least shimmer/glitter and I think the most would be Platinum, Platinum and Sweetheart are glitters and the others are just pigments so that's probably why Platinum is the most glittery. I am posting pictures so you have an idea of what they look like. I can't wait to wear them! Also, when I get my samples from the other company (which I'm hoping I'll get them tomorrow but who knows), I'll post pictures of those. But I ordered more than just eyeshows because there was minimum of $10 to order so I also ordered a sample of one of their foundations, this Twilight  body powder (it makes you sparkle like the vampires! lol) and an all over face powder. I did order like, 6 eyeshadow samples I think. Plus with every order you get three free samples so I go three more eyeshadows. Cool! But anyway, that's all I wanted to post about tonight! Have a good night everyone! :)

Here are the pictures:
 
This one is Glitz, sooo pretty!
The website describes it as
white but is actually a natural, very pale
silver glitter - very fine texture.

This one is Platinum, it's very glittery and pretty.
This is one of the glitter ones.
The website describes it as
super fine silver glitter - even more reflective than our other glitters.


This one is Diamonds, very pretty too!
The website describes it as
translucent white with heavy glitter.

This is Pearl and the least shimmery/glittery.
And it seems more powdery than the others.
But it still has shimmer to it as you can see
and it is really pearly when applied.
The website describes it as
soft, fine pearly white with light
shimmer and a smooth finish.


This is Sweetheart. It's really pretty.  This is
the other glitter one. It has like, purple glitter
to it, it's really cool!
The website describes it as
baby pink glitter. Fine particle.

And this is Allure, the free sample I got.
In this picture it looks a lot darker than
it really is. It's a lighter pink than it shows
in this picture.
The website describes it as
vibrant, warm pink with golden shimmer.
It's cool because it also has like a purplish
tint to it, like in certain light it looks purplish too.
Kinda cool.
This is what Allure looks like in the picture from the
website. It looks a lot lighter than the picture I took.
I 'm kinda afraid to wear it because it's
so vibrant. I am very fair skinned and have red hair
(well it's called strawberry blonde) and I don't
know if it'll look good on me. I guess I can always
try it and see.
 
And those are the eyeshadow samples I bought. I will have to wear one for the rest of each day of the week.
I wonder which one will be my favorite? I guess I'll find out! :)
